After the Fire

The raging fire continued burning for more than ten minutes before it was put out. There were no casualties, only the loss of property.

There were three reasons why the fire was put out so quickly.

First, there were many people. Each person had a bucket of water, and more than a hundred villagers participated in the fire-fighting operation.

Second, the fire-fighting measures were in place. Many fire extinguishers were stored in the shed, and a few water cisterns were dug. When the fire broke out, the water was pumped out by the engine.

Third, it was the geographical environment. There was no strong wind in the night. In addition, the field was next to a small river, so there was sufficient water.

When the last wisp of smoke was completely extinguished, everyone wiped the sweat on their foreheads and said with a smile, "The fire is finally out."
