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 fire is still unknown".
