And downstairs, people from the residential area stood in the distance, all of them chattering away, "How did it suddenly catch fire? Such a good house, huh?"
"Could it be the wiring has aged again? The building that burned down the year before last was because of aged wiring."
"Who knows? But fortunately, it caught fire during the daytime, when most people are not at home. It would have been troublesome if it had happened at night."
"Right, only the 3rd and 4th floor had elderly at home, but it looked like they all managed to escape, didn't they? Is there anyone left?"
"I don't know about the 7th floor, but Aunt Rose from 601 came out, and Randy Ziel the teacher is teaching at the school, so his home should be empty, right?"
"How come the firefighters and police haven't arrived yet? We called the fire department as soon as it started, and it's been twenty minutes already, hasn't it?"
