Flickering Hope

A deafening explosion tore through the warehouse, shaking the entire place.

Dust and black smoke filled the air, blurring everything in sight.

It didn't stop there. The force of the blast ignited nearby flammable materials, setting off a chain reaction.

Barrels of chemicals and containers of fuel caught fire almost instantly, sending thick plumes of smoke billowing into the sky.

BOOOM!

Fires erupted everywhere, spreading rapidly across the pier. Flames raced across the planks and burned the sides of nearby buildings.

It looked like the area had been bombed, with napalms swallowing everything in their path.

People rushed to evacuate as more black smoke billowed into the sky.

"What happened? " a pier worker shouted, holding his phone up to record the fire.

"We need to call the emergency hotline!" another person yelled, frantically pressing buttons on their phone.
