In the afternoon, I smelled smoke and saw grey clouds rising behind the hills. Suddenly, birds flew wildly overhead, and the air became hotter. "Wildfire! Run!" Dad shouted. We quickly packed water bottles and wet towels. Remembering safety rules, we ran downhill against the wind to avoid the flames. Thick smoke made it hard to breathe, so we pressed the wet towels to our faces. After 20 minutes of running, we reached a river and followed it to a safe clearing. Firefighters arrived later and put out the fire. This experience taught me to always check weather warnings before camping and stay calm in emergencies. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
