When our house caught fire

On the 11th February at 12.00 a.m. , our toaster caught fire while me and my family were still in the house.

I felt scared that we could not get to the door. So we held our breath and ran to my mum's phone and called 911. We brought the dog in the bedroom with us. The fire was blazing orange and it was getting bigger and bigger. Soon the fire would burn the place down.

I saw fire and smoke. I heard my dog bark its head off. I smelt lots of smoke and fire. Suddenly the fire brigade arrived. My dad went down first, then my mum, then me. But the dog didn't want to go down. So the fire brigade officers had to go inside to get her. They rushed in , grabbed the dog, and came down again. We were on the ground and safe. They extinguished the fire. After a few days, we went back home.

Despite the big scare , I am very grateful that everyone survived .
