you never asked what it was like

and right the next day having this to happen. the worst of it all was the helpless waiting for the firefighters, cause this is no city and the nearest station is like 20 minutes away which is ridiculous cause there is fire like every year here and every time people lose more because of the waiting and inability to do anything, and it's lucky to have no human victims but livestock burns alive and fire gets to next yards. i'm here almost every year and even i saw at least two fires happen, this time though i witnessed it much closer and i've never seen anything like this: the despair in people's eyes while screaming to call for emergency services, the whole village gathered to try and put out the fire with buckets of water while waiting for the help to come, but it was more for morality cause what do you do when there's not much water and the firefighters won't come for like 30 minutes (paramedics came even later 👍) thankfully there were no (human) victims. but still, having witnessed that and having listened to the stories of how the help wouldn't come for so long the night of our fire too, i'm kinda outraged. luckily, i haven't seen the animals suffer but all the talks about it will be on my mind for a long time now.
