On the 22nd of January 2020 (Wednesday), I
got to school (DFS) at 7am and while seated in my class, I perceived a smoke-like cloud by the entrance...leading to the beginning of the narrative about a fire outbreak I once prevented!
Therein, while still trying to make sense...a primary 6 pupil called out to me. Behold! A fire outbreak is warming up right before my eyes...possibly caused by wire-bridging in a socket.
I moved swiftly for a fire-extinguisher after assessing the situation and blocking possible means against extending the outbreak.
Handling the fire extinguisher away from the wall where it was hung, I straightened its opening to the direction of the burning socket and unleashed the cylinder content on the fire.
With 3 to 5 presses the 'alarmed situation' was put to normalcy!
Though we were lucky we had the fire extinguisher handy, the story might have been unattractive if the witnesses to this incidence were not proactive enough.
Thus the reiterated message to everyone remains:
"If you see something, say something!"
