Òåêñò àóäèðîâàíèÿ:

I was sleeping when it all started - it was about midnight. The first thing I knew, my sister Rachel was shaking me, screaming: ‘Joe, Joel’ I could see smoke pouring into the room - thick, dark smoke. And it was so hot! Rachel was trying to open the window, but she couldn't find the key. And then it all happened so quickly. Suddenly I saw the flames - like a wall of fire outside my room. I knew Mum was upstairs, but we couldn’t go and find her ’cause of the flames. So I just grabbed my chair and shouted at Rachel to get out the way. I smashed the chair against the window and the glass went everywhere. Then I climbed onto the window sill - the garage roof was about three metres down - and that was our only way out. Rachel jumped first and then I did. Luckily we were both OK - so we climbed down and ran into the garden.

At that moment, we heard the fire engines - they were just coming round the corner. We were still thinking about Mum when suddenly we heard her, and looked up. She was standing on her window sill, looking down. It was a really long way down from there, but my sister had a great idea. We’ve got one of those trampolines, you know, in our garden, and she was pulling it over towards the house. Mum jumped! It was amazing, like something in a film! She was hysterical, it was really horrible - but at least we were all OK.

You could see the fire burning next door - we live in a semi -and two firemen just broke down their front door. Our neighbour was still in there, but the firemen were just in time. They carried her out and she went to hospital in an ambulance. We still don’t know what caused the fire, but they’re investigating it now. All I know is that we all had a very lucky escape!
