Oh.It looks like a great escape. Such experience became very common in Hyderabad, especially in summer. But, these are confined to an area where most of the residents live in huts and thatched houses.
I had this experience only once when I was on tour and happened to stay in my friend’s room. It was a room attached to a house. After attending the daily work we slept deeply and there was no one other than we too.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. The owner was knocking the door. I opened the door in the sleep itself only to be informed that the adjacent house caught on fire. I could not understand him as most of the houses are cement roofed. When I expressed my doubt he told me that one of the rooms of the house is not having a concrete roof and it is a thatched one meant only for resting during a summer season and that it had been richly furnished one.
we both rushed to the spot and helped the owner of the house poured buckets of water and brought it under control. There was only minimum damage to the costly articles inside the house.-
Oh good thing , all of you helped in stopping the fire.
Here fires usually happen in squatter areas where the houses are of light materials and are very adjacent to one another. One house burning would end up hundreds of houses burned at the end of the fire.
Then when the fire truck arrives, it sometimes cannot go into those very narrow pathways, thus the hose can only be at those that it can reach.
And some scrupulous persons would take advantage of the situation and would steal those saved appliances that were usually place on the open where they can’t be reached by the fire.
