Short Story Of Lystra's Attack

     The fire spread from the O’Learys’ barn to the yards nearby. Soon it was spreading throughout the neighborhood. William Lee, a neighbor a block away, saw the fire and ran to Bruno Goll’s drugstore to turn in the fire alarm. Bruno Goll refused to turn in the alarm because he said the fire truck had already gone past. So instead of arguing, Lee went home to his family. At the courthouse the lookout on duty saw smoke, but thought nothing of it, thinking it was just Saturday's fire and there was no reason to be alarmed. Then he looked up and noticed it was a different fire and had his assistant strike the Box 342 for the fire department. Soon fire trucks were at the scene and attempted to put out the fire. The fire department’s Chief Marshal, Robert A. Williams got the engines to circle the fire to contain it. They got as close to the fire as they could until their arm hair was being burned and their

One man saw the fire and tried to get someone to use the fire box to get the fire department to send a fire truck. Sadly he had no such luck in notifying them. Fire boxes were boxes located on the street corner for people to use to alert the closest fire department, because telephones were not commonly available at that time. The other man just insisted that a fire truck had probably already been called and was on its way. The fire was so destructive because there were many mistakes and dangerous

On our way to Fort Laramie we camped the night and the next morning the women were cooking breakfast while we were gathering the tents and hooking up the oxen. When a stray ember shot from the fire. It hasn't rained here in a long while so the grass caught very quickly. Austyn James tries to put out the fire but her skirt caught fire too! She was screaming she dropped the ground and started rolling around, she was able to put the fire out. Soon the fire reached our wagons and caught our food supplies on fire. I started emptying our water barrel to put out the fire. It worked but, most of our food was gone by then. We spent the rest of the day putting out the fire and turning around to get more water. There is still another 60 miles to go to Fort

The crew was not prepared for the fire when it suddenly arrived. A wave of fire, heat, and smoke over took them by surprise, Eight of the crew deployed their shelters on the road and the two civilians took shelter with one of the crew members. The squad boss was high above the road in the rock scree watching the fire. He ran down towards the road but couldn’t get there before the fire arrived, He turned around and ran back up the slope were the other four crew members and the crew boss was.

When the fire broke out, and the firefighters were signaled, they were sent to the wrong location. Unfortunately, back then the fire fighters were carriages with horses, so when they finally arrived to the correct location the fire already went crazy. The conflagration spread from east to north and burnt down wooden houses, commercial and industrial buildings, private

There is some dispute to the cause of the fire, but most believe it was set by three inmates who intended to cause a distraction during dinner time, so as to make an escape in the commotion. Instead, they mistimed the ignition device which didn’t ignite until they were all locked up for the night (Latta). This idea was later cemented as the cause when two of the three men hung themselves from grief. There are still some, however, that believe the fire was a tragic accident and the prison officials used the three inmates as an excuse to avoid blame

The fire started around 9 at night on October 8th. The fire started in or around the O'Leary family’s barn. Nobody even knows how the fire started, but there are many stories telling how. A very popular story says a cow kicked over a lantern in the barn which then caught the hay on fire then leading to the whole

It all started on 137 De Koven Street, in Catherine and Patrick O’Leary’s Barn. Daniel Sullivan ,who was a friend and the first one to discover the fire, did not hesitate to call out for help. When the fire was barely 15 minutes old, the O’Leary’s barn and neighboring houses were already engulfed in fire as families stood outside, watching, and waiting for any kind of help to arrive.“The absence of rain for three weeks [has] left everything in so flammable a condition that a spark might set a fire which would seep from end to end of the city.” Reported the Chicago Tribune in the Sunday Edition.

In 2006, lightning started a fire which threatened the Hammonds’ ranch, so Steve lit a backfire to keep the other fire from burning onto their land. This fire started by Steve Hammond was lit on the side of a butte, despite a countywide burn ban and knowledge that young part-time firefighters were camped up higher. Their crew boss spotted the fires, which were set at night and moved the crew.

When a fire in a bin started on the eighth floor of the Asch Building on New York's Lower East Side. The eighth, ninth, and tenth floors were occupied by the Triangle Shirtwaist Company. The fire spread very fast throughout the factory, some tried to put out the fire like they had in the past, but it was useless. The workers looked for a way out. The eighth and tenth floor workers found a way out but many on the ninth floor were trapped in the factory ,

On March 25, 1911, a Saturday afternoon, near closing time, a fire broke out in the Triangle Waist Company, on one of the top 3 floors of the ten story Asch Building. Within thirty minutes, 146 lives were lost, because of neglected safety features and locked doors. The fire is believed to have started by the careless use of a match from one of the cutters to get a smoke. Before ringing the fire alarm, the workers tried to extinguish the flames, but the flames quickly spread. It was the shirtwaists, hanging on lines about the workers, the sewing machines placed closely together, and the trimmings of cuttings and rags with littered the floors that spread the fire so quickly.

“Ouch,” Surena jumped. She grabbed a piece of clothing to put over her hand so she could open the door. The door swung open and Surena picked up Belle and ran out the door. There was fire everywhere, she could barely see anything. She heard police cars out side the house with fire trucks. They were spraying the house. Surena felt very dizzy because of the smoke and her dog didn’t look so

We all ended up the night fine with sumptuous meals and some drinks before bedtime. Although we stood strong in our belief that something might have caused the explosion, I can’t help myself but think about the possible reason why it happened. I had a first theory of the weather, it was scorching hot that day and I thought that made the hot sauce hotter that it explodes. But, Tomas the owner of the Inn said it never happen before on the same weather so we run out of

And now it had all come crashing down. Smoke burned her lungs, but she didn't move, couldn't move.

She didn't accept her mother's choices and actions so she had to find her own path in life. Her mom was not a responsible adult so Lyra could not allow herself to be like her. The only reason Lyra had to be disobedient was because of her parents beliefs, she couldn't accept the separation and what they were doing to the children. To her the way they treated children was pure cruelty. A lot of critics said that Pullman was against religion and he was encouraging children to disobey their parents. But he wasn't. He was actually trying to help people think about who they really are and stop pretending to be something they are not, and he wanted to encourage children to follow their own
