 Fire accident in the Slums
  By Lakshmi/Lakshman
 P.D.K International School, Madurai
Monday, 19^th May 2020. A massive destructive fire broke in the Jabalpur Slum area on Saturday, 17^th May 2020. Five people lost their lives while 15 people were injured. Half of the slum area has been destroyed by the fire, leaving hundreds homeless and penniless. I was passing by the street when I heard the cries of the people. There was chaos and many children were misplaced. In just 15 minutes, half of the slum was on fire. I was very disturbed by the sight of people crying and burning. The fire brigade arrived after 30 minutes and took 2 hours to control the ferocious fire. A faulty wiring fluctuation is said to be the cause of the fire.

Note: A report is usually written in the past tense and the passive form of speech.
