Essay — English STD 8 — Question

Last night, at around 11 o’clock, a big fire broke out in my neighbour’s house. Big flames and clouds of smoke were coming out from the building. I immediately called the fire-brigade. Soon a big crowd gathered outside the house. I could hear screams and cries of people trapped inside the house. The fire-brigade arrived. The firemen started their fire-fighting and rescue operation. They took out tall ladders and water hoses. They rescued all the members of my neighbour’s family. The injured were taken to hospital. The fire was brought under control in half an hour. The house was damaged. But there was no loss of life.
