FIRE ON VALLAR ROAD

By Ricardo Encarnacion

          It was a rainy day when a fire started downstairs from my house. It started because a candle fell down in my friends’ bed, and the fire spread all over the house. After we saw the smoke coming out from downstairs, everyone ran out of the building.  Next, we went outside to my mom friend’s house to call 911,and like 20 minutes later the firemen came.  There were more than ten fire trucks, and by the time they arrived the fire was ignited all over the house. When the fire finally went out, we had to wait out side until they cleaned up the hallways.  

We were waiting to go back into the house for hours while a company called Clean Master came and cleaned everything.  Then, finally they let us back in the house. It was all smoky, wet and smelled like fire and death.  It smelled like death because a cat died inside. I saw my window was broken and my shoes melted.   But the floor was too hot, so they told us to grab our clothes and go back outside. They put wood on the windows that broke, and are still working on the apartment that was on fire.  The people that lived there went to live at their mother’s house in New York because they did not have beds or anything where they were staying in Boston. They say it will take three more months to renovate the apartments.
