Chapter 15: The Fire is Extinguished
At this moment, Zhang Xiaochen knew that the uncle just now was the mayor of the town, looking at the sad Uncle Zhou, Zhang Xiaochen also stepped forward to try to comfort him, and said: "Uncle Zhou, the fire truck will arrive soon, and the most important thing is that everyone is fine." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhou Bo's arm.
"Xiaochen, Uncle Zhou is distressed, this small shop has been in this shop for so many years, I-alas" Uncle Zhou began to hide his face and wipe his tears after speaking.
The fire lasted for about ten minutes, and the fire truck finally came, but before that, the fire did not get smaller, only the third floor of this building is an independent staircase, which is a public rental house, so in fact, the staircase on the second floor is still in the house, and the fire spreads along the line, so that from the window, it has begun to see that there is a fire inside.
And the second floor is Uncle Zhou's storage room, his inventory is placed on it, if this fire spreads the second floor and burns everything, then the second uncle's belongings are really gone.
When the fire engine arrived, the people hurriedly got out of the way, and the mayor was there to command. The firefighters hurriedly sprayed boiling water underneath to suppress the fire and extinguish the fire. Then upstairs they also tried to break down the windows and pour water down the stairs to try to suppress the flames and reduce the damage caused by the fire.
Seeing the arrival of the fire truck, the onlookers gradually dispersed.
Zhang Xiaochen, Zhou Bo and others were there, watching the whole process of the fire brigade extinguishing the fire.
After seeing that the fire was completely extinguished, Zhang Xiaochen just wanted to rush upstairs to check the situation, but was stopped by the firefighters on the side.
"The fire has just been extinguished, and there are still a lot of safety hazards in the building, so you can't go in. ”
"I'd like to hit the side stairs up to see if there's anyone on the third floor. After Zhang Xiaochen finished speaking, he gestured to the staircase, hoping that the firefighters would let her pass.
The firefighter stopped her and said, "You wait here for me to go up and help you see." ”
After speaking, he turned around and ran towards the corridor, Zhang Xiaochen also hurriedly made a move, stopped him, and said, "Wait!"
Then I fumbled in my pocket for a while. took out a bunch of keys and handed them over, picked out one of them, and handed it to him.
"This is my house key. Just make sure there's no one inside. Thank you!"
The firefighter nodded, took the key, and rushed in. The original wooden door at the top of the staircase was affected by the fire and had been burned down.
After a while, the firefighter from earlier rushed out again. He handed over the key, handed it back to Zhang Xiaochen, and then said: "Don't worry, it's been confirmed, there is no one upstairs, it's still very dangerous here, please stay away, we'll notify you when we deal with it." ”
"Thank you, thank you very much. ”
Zhang Xiaochen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there was no one, but another layer of turmoil rose in his heart.
There's no one upstairs, it's been a fire for so long, he should have come back to check when he heard that there's a fire, why hasn't it been so long?
Zhang Xiaochen thought about it, and a heavy sense of loss came to his heart again. But she still had a glimmer of hope, and silently muttered to herself that he might be drunk at a friend's house again, it should be.
Then Zhang Xiaochen looked at the scene that was not messy, and Uncle Zhou was gone, so she also turned around silently and went back to the supermarket.
