Veteran Nollywood actor, Chidi Mokeme, has recounted the experience of a fire incident at his home in the United States of America five years ago.
Naija News reports that the thespian made this known while commiserating with the ongoing Los Angeles wildfire victims.
Chidi said such trauma stays with people forever after coming in contact with fire in its full glory.
He thanked firefighters for their relentless support and prayed for the safety of those still struggling.
He wrote, “OUR HOUSE GOT BURNT 🥵 Coming face to face with fire in its full glory is one of the scariest and most terrifying experiences anyone can ever have. The trauma stays with you forever.
Exactly 5 years ago, on this day, at this exact time, what started like an ordinary day with bright sunshine and a beautiful weather, quickly became a nightmare. And the eventual loss of everything. The whole world is in agreement that fire is the most destructive force of nature. And that’s why most are afraid to die. The fear of hell.
Even the Almighty God gives us a clue into this, by choosing, when angered, to use water to destroy the world, but he saved the FIRE for the END. Isn’t fire the main character in hell? So I can only imagine how it must feel, what it must feel like, to be one of the victims of the devastating destruction currently occurring in Los Angeles.
My heart goes out to everyone out there. Please say a prayer for them. May the souls of the departed rest in peace 🕊️😇
I say a big thank you to the men and women of the fire service. The fire fighters who put their lives on the line to save ours. The ones who run towards the danger, and run into the scorching flames when everyone else is running in the opposite direction. The ones who, even though might have their own homes and families going through the same thing, are sworn to sacrifice themselves for the good of others. We know that you are giving 1000% of yourselves to contain the fires. We encourage you. Stay strong. Y’all are the real heroes. We salute you 🫡. God Bless you.
