I hit the panic mode last night

My in laws live parallel to the street where the house was on fire. Fortunately, the fire didn't reach the apartments and the office because my husband, brothers in law and some helpers were there to help put out the fire. I hope so, too that we all be spared with such incident this holiday season.

especially during new year, lots of buildings will be on fire. Hope everyone will keep their surroundings safe.

Thanks.. Sad to say but you are right. We would rather choose to be robbed than have our houses burned. At least not all your things can be carried by the robber. But hopefully, no such thing will happen because of the coming holidays. Having seen the fire is really scary. The fire height was so high that really got me nervous. Were your in-laws affected by the fire? What did they do after the incident? Did they make some extra precautions for their documents in case something bad will happen again? I hope nothing bad will happen anywhere this coming holidays.

Twice? Oh my, that's a bad experience too. It's so scary seeing the fire just near your house. Fire is a traitor I think. Even though it started on one house, it tries to burn almost all that it can reach. So let's stay alert all the time.

Thanks... We just get out to see the situation outside but yes, we packed our things in case we are going out seriously. Fire can spread fast but thank God the firemen put out the fire immediately.

Hmmm, not that so much adrenalin because I am more nervous that time because it's my first time to see such kind of fire. Your story was quite funny. Unable to bring back the only thing she saved. I think she has the adrenalin rush you're talking about. Maybe the woman became wonder woman that time during fire.

Yes, lots of them went to rescue. The fire was so huge and thank goodness it was easily put out. I hope so that no one was hurt. We didn't hear any gossips about the fire and it's odd that most of our officemates that live near the incident, didn't know what happened.

it's more of a scary coincidence. were you in sweat when you woke up? It must have been hot in your dream. Were you able to survive in your dream? Did you jump too?

Indeed fire is one of the scariest things that could happen in any house. It's like going back to zero, all will turn into ashes. It's a good thing you were not harmed by that fire.

Yes,fire can spread very fast. We live in a compund and only 2 houses have second floor. The houses there are almost near to each other that adds up to the scare because fire is so fast. Good thing it isn't that windy last night unlike the other nights. That was the time we're thankful there's no wind to blow it more. I think fire drills were just practiced here for schools and other buildings. But no drills for your own home. We just have to be alert in all times. Thanks..

Now even factories have fires drill in their own factory compound. Fire drill is practised not only by international factories but it is also practised by local factories. Factories need to get the ISO Safety certificate.

Not intentionally. I think it was from an unsupervised oven or something.

That's the result of negligence among us, just a simple duty but causes big problem.

The fire was intentionally started by someone?

What did you do to yourself? Shrunk your height? Sorry for the above, but this kid looks so very pretty and cute. I guess this is your pic from childhood.

My state and city is much peaceful when it comes to the Hindu Muslim riots. But during those days, we (me and family) were stranded at another city - Kanpur - in northern India and North has had many incidents of riots. Even today, the situations are quite volatile and it is always an uncomfortable feeling visiting my relatives who are in Northern India. In my state - Orissa (now Odisha) there are naxalites no doubt, but Bhubaneswar (the city where I live) is more peaceful and we dont get their havoc here except for occasional bandhs (this is an Indian word which means complete shutdown of almost everything - no piling of cabs, no offices open, no shops open etc)... and they are a mess to happen. But thanks to Mr. Mahatma Gandhi who gave us this years ago in his peaceful fight for freedom against British.... and many still use it for their own reasons... causing loss of many things.

Oh, it’s so scary back then. But I think situations now are getting worse on some places. So much riots, bombings and killings. Stay safe always my friend.

Fire is really serious and tragic. They said it's much better if your house got robbed rather than hit by fire.

I am glad you are okay and that the fire did not spread. I bet you cannot wait to be home again. it is a great feeling.

I got really nervous that time and having lots of important stuff inside the apartment will make you really pack. Well I was thinking ‘where are we heading after this?’ but thank God it didn’t spread. This holidays, we will be home to our own homes and hope our apartment will be just the same when we left it.

Yup, thanks a lot... That was an abandoned building and luckily, no one was hurt. Good thing the fire didn't spread to the other buildings and houses. Thanks!

Seeing you posting about weddings.. your own wedding. I haven't been posting about my wedding. But I do have one post asking for wedding gift ideas for my in-laws. Maybe that was the one you're talking about. Anyways, yes, it was a good thing that the fire was put out immediately. Theere are many fire trucks that came to the rescue and the fire I think only lasted for 30 minutes. You're lucky that you haven't experienced yet any kind of scary situation like house on big fire. Keep safe and alert always.

What I mean is... I would love to see you post your wedding story here. lol! Sorry for the confusion it creates :) It's funny how you put those emoticons in every sentence you made to emphasize things. Wish I could do that too. :D I just remember that there was this one time when the building close to my office work before was on fire too and all I remember was I took my bag and came out of the building, nothing really so scary reason why I forgot about it and just remember when I am commenting here. I do hope everything is okay there now... I mean those who were affected by the fire. Grandad use to tell us before that it bearable when your house gets flooded than get's fire!

Yup, and I'm giving all the credits to you my friend. If mylot will give me an award by using their emoticons, I will definitely send it to you. Oh I see! It feels like you are my tutor, a very good one! Hahaha. I am hiding behind my hubby's name. Actually, there were times when fellow mylotters would say "hi lee" and I would think... who's lee? and grin to myself. Your name is quite hard to pronounce actually, but Belinda is quite a cool name. My friend's sister is Belinda and she's a British girl! My name is Carmel

That's one advantage of having a car. In case of some emergency, you can always escape or go somewhere safe. Hope no serious fires will happen to the place near you as it is so dangerous. Also, we should be alert at all times.

Oh, false alarm. Don't you think, maybe it's the worker who left his lawn mower on the vent. I just can't think who else would plan to steal in the middle of a panic. Anyways, let's be alert and always take care.

Yes, that was really scary. But I wonder our neighbors weren't scared at all because they look calm. Maybe they thought it was far to reach our place. Anyways, earthquake is also scary because there are instances that roads split and buildings collapse. We should know every move for every situation and should always stay calm and alert.

It was quite scary since there's a chance for the fire to spread. Thank goodness no one was hurt. We have known that the building was an abandoned place. But it's so confusing why it was burned. Maybe somebody throw something that caused the building to burn.

Well, I am not much into watching television that's why I don't know who's the superhero that could save us here these days. Before, we had Captain Barbel and Lastikman. How I wish those superheroes are true so whenever there are problems anywhere, they're here to rescue you. Good for you that you haven't experienced this kind yet. But just in case, you should be alert and text Superman.

Thank you my friend. We never had a chance to visit the place whether there are some serious injuries. I hope none. You're lucky that you haven't experienced this yet. It's so scary.
