FIRE

Around 3 a.m. this morning. I woke up by the ringing alarm. It somehow sounded like an alarm clock ringing but due to its persistence and my alarm clock just didn't sound like this, i woke up and left my bed. I looked out from my window, saw nothing unusual, no smoke, no fire, no fight, no people running and almost no movement of any living creature. The ring persisted and still i didn't see anyone on the opposite building came out to their balcony to see what happened.

Then i saw my brother standing in the balcony, and he saw me. We two started guessing where was this ringing came from. Our first guess was the house alarm that the owner has not moved in yet. Minutes later, we both saw fire engine arrived at the guard house there. Only then we realised that there was a fire, but curious why no one seemed panic or running for their life.

Then we saw smoke near building B, around the height of middle floor. We decided to go to 4th floor, to have a look on what happened there. The room behind the guard house, which is used as rubbish storage room was on fire. We were there watching the firemen put off the fire, not a big fire since it was in a closed room. The fire was all along contained. Only then i saw around 4-5 peoples looking here from their balcony and some just peeked out from their window.

I feel it very strange as i saw not more than 10 peoples actually care to wake up in the middle of the night even when they heard this loud alarm. What kind of people are they who just ignore the alarm? Even if it was a false alarm, we should also be awaken and check out on what happen i suppose.
