Lexie's Narrative

By Lexie Dare

I would never have thought I would see my own kitchen on fire. We were just making delicious fudge brownies after dinner one day. It was just like any other day till it wasn't.

It all started when my mom and I decided to make brownies after dinner. We made the brownie mix and put it in the oven to cook. Then we went out to the living room to watch a movie. My sister was playing with barbies on the floor. In the background I could hear my sister squealing, “Come play with me Lexie I want someone to play with”. But I replied “Karina I am watching a movie not playing barbies”. “Ugh” Karina groaned. 

Suddenly we heard “pop pop” like popcorn coming from the kitchen , so we ran out to the kitchen. We saw large orange and purple flames inside of the oven. I smelled smoke  “cough Cough”  it was so smoky and we heard “beep beep” coming from the fire alarm going off meanwhile my mom screaming, “Oh my gosh I need the fire extinguisher”. But I stayed calm and Karina was still out in the living room playing with dolls. So I yelled, “Karina come with me outside!" I grabbed my phone and ran outside. Just when I was about to call 911 I heard my mom say ”All good girls don't call 911 I put the fire out”. So I knew it was safe to go inside. But It was very smoky inside so we opened the windows to let the house cool down. And stayed outside for a little while the house was airing out.    

All in all I learned that all my hard work had paid off from learning about fire in school and what to do if we saw fire. I was really proud of myself because I did the right thing by getting my sister and running out the door.
