Reporter: What were you doing when the fire broke out?

I was preparing a report when I got the one call from Jim. I quickly drove to the factory. The firefighters(消防队员) were putting out the fire when I got there. They arrived several minutes before me. Tom(The manager of the factory)

I was on duty last night. I smelled something burning. When I got up, I saw smoke coming from the window of the workshop(车间). I called 119 and our manager at once. And they both arrived quickly. Jim(A worker)

We drove to the factory as soon as we got the phone call at 1: 47 a, m. We arrived at about 1: 55 a, m. and soon put it out. No one died or got hurt in the fire. It's dry these days. We think all the families and factories should be more careful. Jeff( A firefighter)
