The cause-and-effect structure illustrates the ways the firefighters tried to put out the blaze, and the impact of their actions. This structure highlights the challenges and limitations that the firefighters faced, emphasizing how their efforts were insufficient in the face of the fire's rapid spread. By outlining the causes of the fire’s escalation and the subsequent effects of the firefighters' attempts to contain it, the narrative reinforces the central idea that their numbers and resources were inadequate to manage such a large and destructive fire. This approach effectively conveys the urgency of the situation and the dire consequences of having too few firefighters.
