Fire!

Fireman

Fire broke out at a leather sewing factory near my office last Monday, around 7.15pm. Fireman reached 20 mins later but I didn’t join the crowd as I was rushing to meet my customers for dinner at 8pm.

The fire appeared to have started from the storeroom behind the factory. I managed to drove by the road behind the scene and saw the huge fire burning with loud cracking and exploding noise.

After dinner, I went back with my camera at 10pm. Firefighters had managed to control the fire from outside. To my luck, they were opening the factory’s side entrance, that’s when I shoot the photo above.

I left around 10.30pm, at that time, the fire had started to spread to 2nd floor. From a distance I can hear windows exploded due to heat…

Next morning, local newspaper reported that the fire was put out by fireman within 30 mins…
