The day the building on park street set ablaze


I remember the other day one of our city's old heritage buildings, constructed about 150 years ago was blazing on fire and the sight was pretty frightful as people were even throwing themselves from the top floors to save themselves. actually the steps had also burned being wooden so the people couldn't get out from there. rescue men tried their best to save a lot of employees who worked at the building while the firemen did their part of trying to douse the fire out.

Of course i never got to see all this in person but on tv, and it was the breaking news as i switched my tele on. i felt quite sad for the people who unfortunately lost their lives that day as had their been proper fire security in the building this mishap wouldn't have happened. The Stephen Court, located in the heart of the city, houses the iconic 100-year-old Flury's confectionery house and a large music store called Music World and several other offices. Flurys closed for few days. Now its Easter Sunday two days from now, hope the area is once again livened as it always is with people flocking to best restaurants out there!
