Fire!

Today when we were doing our after school clubs (i was in the pool swimming in the school pool) when we saw loadz of black smoke. One of our swim coaches helping Lisa went and saw


GIGANTIC RED BLAZING FLAMES RIGHT NEXT TO THE SCHOOL.

So we all had to come out of the pool, grab our towels and head to the hall. Once we had arrived at the hall Mrs Watson explained that it was a fire coming from the building sight right beside the school. We all had to leave our bags at school and walk over to the sand on the opposite side of the school where the sandy carpark is. It got far too hot there so we had to go to the shade of the new shopping mall that is being built and it got far too hot there too because the wind was blowing the flames further towards us. So the teachers decided we would walk to the Jumeirah Beach Hotel from the school! As we were walking along we saw fire engines driving to put out the fire, after that it got a little bit cooler I was still hot because it was something like 40 degrees. It was a very long walk about a kilometre long but it was worth it.

I'm so glad that it wasn't the school that caught fire and that everyone that was in the school at that point is safe and protected! But I would never like to get envolved in a fire ever again!

I was swimming in the pool but then Lisa realized that there was black smoke all around the school.We all went inside and checked that everybody was there and then we had to walk in 45 DEGREE heat to the Jumeiah Beach Hotel so that we were safe from the fire.We couldn't pick are bags up and they had our school kit and homework in so we had no homework!!

Yippee!!!
The next day we had to go to school in our normal clothes and then we got changed!!

It was a bit weird swimming and then suddenly you saw MASSIVE orange and yellow flames by the school.But in the end every one was save and home.
We were all so hot walking to the hotel.Mr Henrys gave someone a piggy Back because they didnt have their shoes with them.But dont blame them they didnt know there was going to be a fire!!!

That fire was defently something that made the day dramatic,I was outside doing cricket before I smelt smoke I looked around and saw this black smoke in the air just getting bigger and bigger.I stood there until Mrs Hamscombe,are cricket coch, walked up too the stands,on are court, and looked at the fire.It was monsterus,it was burning rapidly and the smell was disgusting.The couler of the flames were bright red with a dash of orange.After that Mrs hamccomb told us too get are water and possess and go to the hall,my bag was at he other end of the court so I left it.When we were in the hall Mrs Watson,are head teacher told us to be calm and not to wory,she also told us that we will walk to the Jumarah beach hotel as a meeting complex.the wmalk was very tirey and was extremly hot ,though it would be beter to get further away from it.halfway through the walk and I spoted my mum and told her the whole story.
