The blaze of the fire was growing large with each blow of the wind. Voices yelling, people screaming. They were all in a panicked. A few of the brave neighbors tries to help with keeping the fire from spreading to their homes and getting people out. While the rest remain to the side. Calling 9-1-1 to get some help there. For it was a home that was more of an apartment. Everyone who lived there came from all different background and different cities. Yet they were like family. They watched out for one another and helped out around the neighborhood.
The house itself was old and was power by gas. Stood at two stories and looked a little run down. That's why believe that this was started because of a gas leak. It was quiet, everyone was mostly likely asleep. Til there was a loud explosion and the ground shook a little. Next thing they knew, the streets were glowing bright red. Now everyone was mostly awake. Helping everyone out as much they could until the fire department and ambulance arrived.
By the time they showed up. part of the roof had collapses inside of the house. Glass was laying all over the yard that were starting to catch on fire due to the falling embers blown in the wind. They heard the sirens and saw the flashing lights coming up the street. The people that were helping from before stepped away. It was time for the trained professionals to take care of this. Firefighters got out from their engine and get to work fast. Hooking the hoses to the hydrant. Taking aim towards the house and start to spray water at it.
Just then a woman was starting to yell. "Seth! He's still inside!" she screamed in terror. That's when a big burst of flames came shooting out of the front door. Making the people jump and back away just in case. "Someone has to go in there and get him! If he's not here then he must be trapped! Where did see him last?!" a man in the crowd asked. "He's on the second roof. Where to roof collapse. Oh my god! He must be under the rubble!"
They would be right. For young Seth was in fact into the rubble He was standing right below it when it crumbled. A large beam was on top of him and was coughing up a storm. He couldn't breath. There was far to much smoke. Starting to think that he was about to go down like this. He had no strength to get himself out. He was covered head to toe in soot. Mixing in with some of his blood. Even some into his mouth. He was fading in and our fast. Trying to stay awake, but it was getting hard. "Maybe...if I just close my eyes for awhile." he said to himself.
What he tries to take a little nap, he was out cold. Looked like there was no hope for him.
