It was Sunday and I was enjoying the latest movie in the theatre with my family. The film was a thriller, with a hefty dose of car chases and shooting. In the middle of all this, we heard the distinct sound of the wail of a siren.
Every one in the theatre thought it was a part of the film; however, the siren continued even when the scene change. Suddenly two men rushed into the theatre. "Get out! Get out! Fire, Fire!" they shouted.
The film stopped abruptly. We all stood up, shocked. Was this a part of the film, or was this for real? It's took us some time to get out from the mood of the film; then the scramble to the door started. However, we got out quite quickly, in an orderly manner, guided by the two men who had given the warning. I could for the first time realise the importance of the bright red EXIT sign.
Outside the theatre there were two fire engines and the fire was put out with in a short time. There was no loss of life and negligible damage to property, thanks to the fire warning system. Till today, when I see or hear the mention of that particular film, I remember that frightening incident.
If we all think that was a part of film what could happen with all of us.
Thankyou
