  1. I'm the one who reported the fire.
    I saw it from afar and immediately dialed 102. I was really nervous. I was walking with my granddaughter nearby. I was just worried that no one was trapped. Scary explosions were heard. Firefighters and police arrived quickly. They acted immediately. Luckily no one was hurt. 🙏

  2. I contacted the fire department about a fire safety hazard in the building I live in, but they are not taking action. They are waiting for a fire to break out.
