At this moment, Zhang Xiaochen realized that the uncle just now was the mayor of the town. Looking at Uncle Zhou who was so sad, Zhang Xiaochen also stepped forward to try to comfort him and said: "Uncle Zhou, the fire truck will be here soon. The most important thing is that everyone
Everyone is fine."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and hugged Uncle Zhou's arm.
"Xiaochen, Uncle Zhou is really feeling sorry for me. This shop has been here for so many years. I'm sorry." After finishing speaking, Uncle Zhou began to cover his face and wipe away tears.
The fire continued like this for about ten minutes. The fire truck finally came, but before that, the fire did not get smaller. This building only has an independent staircase from the third floor. It is a public rental housing, so in fact, the second floor
The stairs were still inside the house, and the fire spread along the lines, so that even from the window, fire started to appear inside.
Moreover, the second floor is Uncle Zhou’s storage room, and all his inventory is stored there. If this fire spreads to the second floor and burns everything, then the second uncle’s belongings will really be lost.
Gone.
When the fire truck arrived, people hurriedly got out of the way, and the mayor was also there to give instructions. The firefighters hurriedly boiled water and sprayed water below to suppress the fire and extinguish it. Then upstairs they also tried to find a way to open the windows.
After taking it apart, pour water from the top of the stairs to try to suppress the flames and reduce the damage caused by the fire.
Seeing the arrival of the fire truck, the onlookers gradually dispersed.
Zhang Xiaochen, Zhou Bo and others were there watching the whole process of the fire brigade putting out the fire.
After seeing that the fire was completely extinguished, Zhang Xiaochen was about to rush upstairs to check the situation, but was stopped by the firefighters on the side.
"The fire has just been extinguished. There are still many safety hazards inside the building. You can't go in."
"I want to take the stairs next to me to see if there is anyone on the third floor." After Zhang Xiaochen finished speaking, he gestured to the stairs, hoping that the firefighters would let her pass.
After looking at it, the firefighter stopped her and said, "You wait here while I go up to help you take a look."
After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the corridor. Zhang Xiaochen hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute!"
Then he groped in his pocket for a while, took out a bunch of keys and handed them over, picked out one of them, pinched it and handed it over.
"This is the key to my house. Just make sure there is no one inside. Thank you!"
After hearing this, the firefighter nodded, took the key, and rushed in. The original wooden door at the stairway had been affected by the fire and had been burned.
After a short while, the firefighter from before rushed out again. He handed the key up and handed it back to Zhang Xiaochen, and then said: "Don't worry, I have confirmed that there is no one upstairs. It is still very dangerous here.
Please stay away, we will notify you when we have taken care of it."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
Zhang Xiaochen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there was no one, but another layer of waves arose in his heart.
There is no one upstairs. The fire has been going on for so long. He should have come back to check when he heard there was a fire. Why has it been so long? There is no one here? Is it possible?
Zhang Xiaochen thought about it, and the heavy feeling of loss came to her heart again. But she still held on to a glimmer of hope and silently comforted herself. He might have been drunk at a friend's house again, so he should be.
Then Zhang Xiaochen looked at the scene, which was not a mess. Uncle Zhou was no longer there, so she turned around silently and returned to the supermarket.
