At 3AM, there was a loud knocking on my door. I was thinking, something weird was going on. I was careful to answer the door. The knocking was strange and powerful. I got up and approached the front door quietly, but while I walked up, I saw an orange bright flickering light out of the window. A fire! A 9-11 call.
