The Night My Uncle's Shop Went Up in Flames

Suggestions

On June 21, around 9 pm in Uppinangady, my uncle closed his shop after a long day and headed home. Shortly after reaching, he received a devastating call from his friend: "There's heavy smoke coming out of your shop, it's on fire." Disbelieving, he rushed back, only to find a chaotic scene. A large crowd had gathered around his shop. after opening the shutters, he saw that half of his goods had been consumed by fire, and the fire was spreading.

Neighbors and bystanders tried desperately to putout the flames with water from nearby sources, but their efforts were insufficient to halt the fire's advance. Despite immediate calls to fire brigade from puttur and belthangady, they arrived 40 minutes later, by which time the damage was extensive. While the fire was put out after a while , the delay meant that much of his goods were lost.

The scene after was remains of what was once his business .Unfortunately his insurance wasn't renewed. The incident left my uncle in shock and disbelief, facing the significant financial and emotional loss.

Its been 4 days to the incident and I am feeling guilty that I cant find a way to help them. what do I do?
