Despite the impending danger, one guard, driven by duty, headed promptly to the well. Armed with a wooden barrel, he gathered water and rushed towards the fire, attempting to quench the relentless flames.
However, the raging fire proved to be unstoppable, scurrying around with the wind, voraciously devouring everything in its path.
