Trả lời:

I took this photo when I was walking on the pavement. I suddenly saw the fire in the distance and ran to see. It was an amazing rescue. 

When I ran to the fire, people were shouting to get out. Fire truck sirens sounded in the distance. While the fire brigade was coming, someone tried to put out the fire in their house, others got their belongings out. There was a lot of smoke rising. When the rescue team arrived, they immediately used a large-capacity hose to contain the fire. Some rescuers ran inside. After a few minutes, a rescuer ran out with a baby boy in his arms. The boy was almost in danger. The boy was disabled, had to be in a wheelchair, so he couldn't run out of danger in time. His cry for help was not heard. The situation at that time was extremely urgent. Fortunately, he was rescued in time.

The rescuers did a good job and the fire was completely extinguished after about an hour.
