Once while working in my garden, I heard a strange sound. At first I didn't pay attention to it, but suddenly I noticed a huge cloud of smoke in the sky. Bewildered, I quickly ran to the other end of the garden and saw that the old gas station was on fire. There was no one around, only large fields and a long automobile road leading to the town of Maysky. Immediately I tried to call the fire brigade, but I couldn't because of a bad connection. There was a tall tree nearby, and after climbing it I was able to call the fire department. A few minutes later, firefighters arrived and put out the fire. After that, the owner thanked me for the courageous act.
