00:25up and then I opened the door, everyone was running out and, you know, in panic I had
00:31to get my mum out first.
00:32And then I actually left this cat.
00:35But then I had the opportunity to come back thanks to the fire force and now I'm waiting
00:41for my brother-in-law to pick me up.
00:42Actually I was from the grave and then my brother, I was on the way back home and then
00:48my brother called me.
00:49He said that the house was on fire.
