Oral Picture Discussion (6)

This picture shows a building on fire. The firemen have arrived in a fire-engine. There are 2 firemen on tall ladders. One of them is spraying water at the building. Another fireman is busy rescuing people who are trapped in the block of flats. He is carrying someone to safety. The victim must have fainted. There are another 2 people who are trapped shouting for help at the window. The firemen standing below the building are shouting at the 2 boys. They are probably asking the boys to jump to safety. There is a big mattress on the ground so the boys will not be injured when they jump down. There are many people watching what is happening. They must be wondering how the fire started. There are 2 policemen standing in front of the crowd. They must be trying to keep the crowd back. When the fire is put out, the victims who have lost their homes may have to stay with their friends or relatives.
