The building became a ball of fire, every road was closed… then whatever this couple did, it became the support of life.

Wednesday morning was completely normal in a bed and breakfast located in Hauz Rani, Delhi. People were resting in their rooms. Some were drinking tea while others were busy preparing to start the day. But no one thought that within a few minutes there would be an atmosphere of shouting and chaos.

Suddenly the building caught fire. Within no time the flames started spreading and dense smoke filled the entire building. People started running here and there to save their lives. In such situations, a person often gets nervous and his brain stops working. But a Nigerian couple present in the same building did something which saved his life.

Couple watched ‘How to escape from fire’ video

This couple, trapped between fire and smoke, had the same fear that other people had in their minds. But instead of getting nervous, he tried to keep himself calm. Then he saw the video ‘How to escape from fire’. It was told in that video that when there is a fire, smoke always accumulates upwards. In such a situation, the lower you stay, the more security you can get. This small information was no less than a boon for him at that time.

The couple immediately reached the bathroom of their room. First of all he opened the shower so that the surrounding temperature remained a little lower. Then spread towels on the floor and lay down. The situation outside was becoming more scary with every minute. The smoke was rising, people were calling for help, but both of them did not lose courage. He continued to lie down and wait for the rescue team to arrive.
