Fire in Vrygrond



Yesterday, the 15th of July, there was a fire in the Apple Street, Vrygrond. The smoke came up all the houses, and we just followed the smoke until the house. When we entered the street of the fire, the whole street was full of people who were watching the fire. The flames were above the roof and there were people from Vrygrond on the burning roof too, trying to stop the fire. They did the best they could, but to go on a burning roof without any protection is very dangerous. Even that this is very dangerous they still did it, because it took such a long time before the fire fighters were here, to be precise 30 minutes. When they finally arrived, it also took a long time for them to get ready and start extinguishing. In that time, there was already almost nothing left of the house. If this wasn’t enough was the water of the firefighters ran out after 15 minutes, so they had to wait for another car that is still full. I was totally shocked that it took such a long time before the firefighters finally did something. This is a good example why we need to start as quick as possible with the first the Save a Life Project. In the Save a Life Project we want to train people to handle in this kind of situations. We want to bridge the time until the real social workers finally come. I hope the next time there is a fire, the people from the Save a Life Project can help.
