  1. A Fire

    Share Share Post
    4. I saw a big fire. It was on the bog. It burned a lot of turf on the bog. There was a big croud trying to quench it. This fire lasted two or three days. There were some guards on the bog too. It was in April this happened No one knew who set this fire. Some houses were nearly burned. The fences caught fire and they were all burned.
