A Fire Consumes Much of an Apartment Building But Spares a Practitioner's Home Within

Sept. 1, 2010

(Clearwisdom.net) There was a big fire in an apartment building located at 8540 Westminster Highway, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada early on the morning of August 7, 2010. The residents, property management company and security personnel have been busy dealing with the aftermath ever since. One of the tasks is to help the residents safely get their personal belongings out of the building as soon as possible.

It is a little dangerous to enter the building because of the damage done during the fire. On August 28, Ms. Li Chunlan, who lived on the second floor, was notified to enter her unit to fetch her personal belongings. However, only four people were allowed to enter the unit. After signing a liability release statement at the property management office, Ms. Li entered the building with three other individuals and two security guards leading the way.

The units next to Ms. Li's suffered severe damage, especially the one on the left. Ms. Li was told that the residents of that unit couldn't get in because it was too unsafe.

When they entered Ms. Li's unit, however, they found that most articles were left unburnt. Some of the electrical equipment might have been damaged due to the foam from the fire extinguishers. Ms. Li took out her clothes, kitchenwares and bedding piece by piece. When she carefully carried out three intact colorful plastic drawers containing Falun Dafa books, her colleagues outside cheered in joy. Although they expected that the Falun Dafa books wouldn't have been affected by the fire, they still felt very happy to personally witness it. The two security guards were also moved. They forgot their exhaustion and smiled happily.

When asked about her feelings, Ms. Li said from deep within her heart, "Thank you Master Li for your protection!"
