Seeing the smoke coming out of a storm drain(雨水沟), Frank called the fire department immediately. “The storm drain is2 fire!” he said.

And everyone 6that concrete doesn’t burn.
A fire truck arrived a few 7later. “Are you the man who8?” asked the driver. “Yes. ” Frank answered. By now Frank could not only smell the 9 but also hear crackling sounds, just like wood burning. The firemen didn’t seem to consider it an emergency. “10 do you think it could be?” Frank asked the driver. “Oh, we know what it is. We have to 11a problem like this every few months. It’s the homeless people in their “12 ”. ”
