​The Leaves! They’re on Fire!

By Page Luca V.

“The leaves! They’re burning!” Tom said when he saw a wildfire in the forest.

Tom quickly ran into his house and told his mom right away. Tom was just on his way to play in the forest with his friends then suddenly a wildfire has interrupted him. He went to get the extinguisher.

On a sunny day in the mid-1900’s, an explosion happened which cause a wild fire in Nebraska. Then they saw multiple firetrucks coming there way. Thank god nobody was hurt but, the red and orange fierce flames weren’t put out yet. All of the houses were burnt down in the neighborhood, but everyone was ok. The next day, we all were in tears. Many people were injured including my sister, Annie. We rushed her to the hospital as she was burnt and screaming in pain.

When we got to the hospital, they took her into surgery immediately. She was in surgery for 8 hours. Annie had to get 76 stitches down her chest, and her hair was completely burned off. From now on, I learned not to play with fire.
