,with,the,,intoWe received an emergency call at 3.15 a.m. which said the Grove Hotel was on fire. We were at the scene within fifteen minutes. The first and second floors of the hotel were in flames when we arrived. But we succeeded in getting the fire under control after two hours. I was in charge of the whole operation. Two of our people are still in hospital being treated by the effects of smoke inhalation. At the moment it appeared that the fire had started by accident, but it is still not clear why the fire spread so quickly or why the third floor burst into flames.
I'm curious to know the correct answers especially for these parts:
Some posters answered it with "in" and others with "into", which one is correct?
I think it's "on", but there are some responses wrote "in", which one is correct?
