Every night the evening news on TV begins with an important story. Tonight the news describes a big fire.

This is Bruce Wood for WNFD News. There was a serious fire at the Paradise Hotel this afternoon. It started at 3:15 in the main lobby on the first floor.

When fire fighters arrived at the hotel at 3:25, the first, second, and the third floors were on fire, and smoke was coming from the fourth-floor windows. People stood on the street and yelled for help, and the fire fighters were using ladders to receive them.

No people had bad burns, and ambulances arrived to take them home. While fire fighters rescued idlers from the street, one man jumped from a third — floor window and broke his arm. “By 4:00 the fire was under control. The cause of the tire is still unknown ’.
