I and over 40 tenants Of which most were over 60,
Staggered briskly along,The dim Half lit Stair well Trying to focus while at times tripping down 70 steps,which was A task for some of The fittest tenants but more tasking for The others,thats why Most of us was barely co-hear-ant Never mind knew what was going on,as we vacated out of the old 1970's run down 10 story Block of flats,with no Lift to take the brunt Of all our moans and Groans.
After standing outside For over 2 hours in the Freezing wet cold winters night,with only a few of us managed to get some form of decent clothes on,before been given the all clear by the brave, tired fire officers. Thankfully we did learn It Wasn't another saucepan fire that had been left on by war veteran Joe, who always came in at 2am drunk out his skull since Coming back from the war. No this time it was our turn to be a target of a joke of some one bored,just some silly stupid
Person/s who thought it would be funny to play
A hoax on the fire Department and us, just for
A ten minute thrill. Not thinking or caring about People like poor Mrs Hutchinson,Who has just undergone cancer Treatment so walking the that Many steps down and back up after being in that rain,almost finished her off.Or what about Sally Croft, Who's just had twins and a lone parent with a double buggy to deal with, and old Man Terry who was blinded By thugs when been robbed For his bit of pension.
No these selfish people never think what this kind of hoax can do to fire services or the Innocent people who suffer because of one insensitive Uncaring action. So While I lay on my lonely Worn down Single pine bed still shattered from last nights antics,I fell so lucky to have you my life and I want you to know, no one Can ever love you like I do oh Lord.

It's a powerful comment PrettyRose.
You might like to review the structure and punctuation at some point which detracts from an otherwise good read.
all the very best
