Just as he started enjoying the sweet success and the amazing home that he built, one day a tragedy took place which changed everything overnight. 

While he and his loved ones were sleeping, a fire broke out in the house and not one of the family members woke up or realized. This is because he didn't have a fire alarm. As a result of this disaster, the house was burnt and turned to ash in just a few small hours. His beloved daughter was caught up in the fire and unfortunately she could not be rescued. The firefighters informed the family after a considerable delay, that she had become a victim to the ruthless fire. This is not an imaginary story but a story that you will hear about on the news or in the newspapers in every city around the world.
