It was Saturday evening and everyone
was sitting in the discotheque on the
ground floor.
It was crowded with people. They were
dancing and singing happily. Suddenly
we smelt smoke. Then black smoke
began to fill the room. Everybody
started to scream in panic. People ran
away toward the fire exits. One door
was blocked. Many people began to
cough and to choke.
Then just as we thought we had only
minutes to live, the fire brigade arrived.
Firemen fought their way into the room
and soon everyone was safely out of the
building. Luckily, nobody was seriously
hurt. It was the most frightening
experience of my life.
