Fire

Its not a very good way to start my first day of work after coming back from New Year.

"There was yet another slum fire in the neighbourhood!"

All the head of departments were at the emergency meeting of aid and relief for the fire that was rumoured to be started off by a candle, electricity circuit or alcoholic maniacs. Whether which one to belief, it is totally up to you, but most of the slum fires were never an accident,says Father Joe.

That afternoon, staffs were busy unpacking boxes and boxes of toothpaste, shampoos, and other neccesities, then I realized the reason behind the abundance of stock back in the storeroom-- For the emergency cases.

There wasn't a sense of panick, more of a situation that has been dealt with pretty often. The tone of the announcement when I first heard, was more like a gossip rather than an emergency. The staffs handle their task with experience. You can't really do any more than being experience, either you support the family with bricks for their new house, or get prepared when their wooden shack is burnt down again by somebody's foolish act.

50 families were affected by the fire. Is it a big deal?
