After calling 119, Claudia Ross and her colleagues began dousing the door with water. They didn't dare to open it, and could only use this method to prevent the fire from spreading.
Buckets of water were thrown one after another, as if their lives depended on it, not daring to slack off at all, leaving the entire dormitory flooded.
The thick smoke inside the room lingered for a long time; Claudia and several of her colleagues suffered different degrees of carbon monoxide poisoning. They had splitting headaches and incessant coughs, only somewhat alleviated by covering their faces with wet towels.
If Claudia hadn't been suffering from insomnia, they might have already been poisoned to death by then.
Fortunately, the fire was discovered in time and was brought under control. The firefighters arrived and extinguished the big fire at the dormitory entrance.
A pile of beverage bottles had burned to a crisp, shrinking into a lump.
