They all cried FIRE on a Maundy Thursday!!! .

A smell of fire-caused smoke woke us up 2 hours ago. I kept myself composed and stayed rational despite every one's panic reaction and all the commotion outside the house. Of course, my mother and I immediately took the initiative to turn off our circuit breakers, called the police (which by the way was answered by a slow poke) and the fire station, and got out of the house. The smoke was from a building which was a just a few steps from our own house. Thank God all concrete commercial buildings have firewall(s) and it took only a few minutes for the fire truck and the firemen to arrive. The local firemen and their truck had less facilities needed to open up steel doors and huge padlocks. However, a few minutes later, ROGER CHIU owner of GRAPHIC All in One Store and his entire fire brigade came up with their 2 fire trucks complete with all the much needed facilities to help put down the fire. SYDNEY GAISANO and his men also came to help. It took them about an hour to put down the fire of the building's ground floor. Nonetheless, we are all thankful to God that nobody was hurt and the fire brigade volunteers did their job. I salute ROGER CHIU the man behind all Graphic Outlets and Graphic Fire Brigade, who was very hands-on in helping. Thank you, sir to you and your men and everyone else who helped; for being GOD's instrument.

THANK YOU LORD FOR SAVING EVERYONE! ^_^
