This news is from Mumbai. There is a cultural event. People dance on a stage. Thousands of people watch them.

Suddenly, a fire breaks out. It is windy. The fire grows fast. People must leave the area. Nobody dies. Everybody is OK.

The fire brigade comes quickly. The brigade brings the fire under control.

Difficult words: stage (an area where people dance, sing, or talk in front of other people), suddenly (quickly and without warning), break out (to start), fire brigade (a group of people who fight fires).
