00:45At 2.30 in the morning, the fire was out of control.
00:51There were whirlwinds, the houses in the town below, and then it spread, and there was no way to stay, the smoke was very toxic.
00:59We left with what we were wearing and nothing else.
01:02We were able to contact very few of our neighbors, and managed to evacuate quickly.
01:08Because I believe that if we had stayed 20 minutes longer, we would have died in the fire.
