619 Fire fighting

Liu Wei is not a person who likes to ask people to do things, but at this moment, thinking of the development of the wildfire and the creatures struggling in the flames, he dialed Stockton's phone.

Previously, because of the smuggling case, Stockton used his network, and the Tasmanian State Police Commissioner personally supervised his case, which shows that Stockton has a strong strength in Tasmania.

Liu Wei needed him to come forward and report the current wildfire situation to the state fire department.

The mayor shook his head as he listened to Liu Wei and Stockton's conversation, he didn't think that this ordinary-looking young man could directly mobilize the power of the state fire department.

After listening to Liu Wei's story, Stockton promised to do his best.

On the one hand, Liu Wei saved his daughter, and on the other hand, the last smuggling case alarmed the embassy, which is enough to show Liu Wei's character.

Liu Wei asked on the phone: "Can you call in some civilian helicopters? I'm afraid that by the time the state fire department comes for support, the fire will have developed to a more serious level."

Chairman Stockton, I'm willing to pay for a helicopter, I know it's a lot of money, but using a helicopter to rescue can greatly reduce casualties!"

Stockton thought for a moment, "My company has two S-64E helicopters, and I can borrow them from some partners to get you five helicopters!"

The S-64 helicopter is a helicopter originally designed by the Sikorsky Helicopter Company of the United States for military transport missions, and in 1969, the S-64E obtained the civilian type certificate in the form of an external transport helicopter.

If put into fire rescue work, each helicopter can carry up to 32 tons of water, which can play a very important role in the implementation of firefighting missions.

Stockton agreed to help Liu Wei, not only to thank Liu Wei for saving his daughter's life, but also to establish a good image of an entrepreneur in Tasmania, where he is mining minerals.

"Thank you!" Liu Wei hung up the phone.

The mayor looked at Liu Wei expressionlessly.

"If nothing else, the state fire department will soon receive the news and rush to the rescue, and five civilian helicopters will be involved in the rescue work," Liu said.

Before support arrives, we must do two things within our means.

First, the fire spreads too fast, and as the mayor of the town, you have to mobilize the town's transportation to move the residents.

Second, mobilize the town's firefighting forces, militia organizations, and volunteers, and go to the edge of the mountain forest as soon as possible to open up a fire isolation zone! To stop the spread of the mountain fire to the town, it is best to bring mechanical tools that can be cut down!"

The mayor of the town now has no energy and time to wonder if Liu Wei's phone call just now can bring in more firefighting forces?

In this case, he could only believe Liu Wei, because the black gauze hat on his head had begun to shake.

Even the entire Australian federal government has the same attitude towards wildfires, and after all, some officials must be held accountable to give an account to the people.

A low-level official like him is the first choice, and he is also the object of the residents' most disgust after the wildfires.

He must show a positive attitude towards disaster relief.

The firefighter standing next to him again raised the issue of the volunteer's salary.

Liu Wei asked, "Under normal circumstances, how much subsidy will the government give?"

"Two hundred dollars per person per day!" Mayor Towns.

"The situation is terrible now, and it is estimated that the two hundred dollars subsidy will not impress them!" Liu Wei did not believe that the people of capitalist countries could burst out with the spirit of selfless dedication in the face of catastrophes, and he preached, "Give 300 per person!"

"Three hundred is beyond the government's financial expenditure!" Mayor Mare.

"Excess hundred, I'll give!" , Liu Wei turned to the two professional firefighters and instructed, "Your task is to open up a fire isolation zone, if the fire is too fierce, give up, don't be hard!"

The two firefighters nodded and walked out.

Liu Wei and the mayor were left in the office.

The mayor was now puzzled, why would this strange young man, whom he had never seen before, throw in his own money to help them put out the fire?

He asked Liu Wei.

Liu Wei replied, "In the face of catastrophes, human beings need to help each other.

In addition to the surrounding residents, I also want to help those creatures who still live in the mountains and forests!"

The mayor couldn't understand Liu Wei's feelings.

But he had to thank Liu Wei for what he did.

"Now is not the time to say thank you, I think you, as a local parent officer, should stand with the residents at this time!" Liu Weidao.

The mayor understood what Liu Wei meant.

Take the secretary to the street to organize the transfer of residents.

Liu Wei walked to the roof of the government building to observe the fire.

It can be described as covering the sky and the sun.

Smoggy.

The residents of the street began to panic a little, realizing that there was something different from the previous wildfires.

The whole mountain turned into a sea of fire.

Whirling voices shouted in the air.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, five fire engines and firefighters from the city fire department arrived at the scene.

What they saw was many times worse than what they had expected when they came out.

"Contact the state fire department and call in the fire forces of the surrounding cities for support!"

"The fire is out of control!"

"Helicopter rescue needed!"

"The first and third teams follow me first!"

"Hurry up and open up a fire barrier!"

The leader of the city fire department deployed.

The mayor walked up to him, "All the work has been deployed!"

"The state fire department was already coordinating, and the helicopters came to the aid half an hour after we set off.

There are also five S-64E civil helicopters from Victoria and South Australia on the way to support!" The firefighter who contacted the state fire department stepped forward to preach.

The team leader looked at the mayor in surprise, and felt that it was very incredible, it was impossible for him to have such a large ability to mobilize such a large-scale rescue force.

The town's volunteer fire brigade rushed back.

"The fire barrier has been opened, but the fire is too fierce for our equipment to cope with, and we need your help!" The returning firefighter preached.

The team leader patted the firefighter's arm, "Hard work, we'll take care of the rest!"

The team leader turned around and ordered, "Let's go!"

Liu Wei stood aside and saw that in fact, Australian firefighters have a noble professionalism, but the attitude and efficiency of doing things between various systems are too fucked up.

Liu Wei sat on the ground with the volunteers.

The mayor of the town handed out bottles of mineral water one by one, and after distributing them, he walked up to Liu Wei and said in a heavy tone, "Thank you very much this time! I don't know what your name is? Are you a local Chinese?"

"Liu Wei, I've been in Tasmania for more than half a month, engaged in wildlife research!" Liu Wei said succinctly.

The mayor nodded, understanding why Liu Wei had been emphasizing those animals that had been engulfed in the fire!

Five and a half years in the afternoon, the sky looked no different than noon.

Since the outbreak of the wildfires, the sun's rays have not visited the land, and they have been obscured by thick smoke.

The sound of wings flapping was heard above Liu Wei's head, and a rescue helicopter from the state fire department arrived at the scene and flew over the mountains and forests to sprinkle the first bucket of water.

Immediately after that, Stockton called five civilian helicopters also arrived as scheduled.

Firefighters from the surrounding cities gathered on the streets of the town.

The leaders of the fire brigades gathered for a meeting to deploy rescue missions.

The battle they were showing at the moment overshadowed the pressure of the wildfires.

Liu Wei overheard a sentence from a firefighter standing in front of a fire truck waiting for a task.

He said, "It's been a long time since I've been engaged in such an exuberant battle!"

He used the word "excited".

With a smile on his face.

With a normal human mentality, no one wants the fires in front of them to happen frequently.

But at this moment, his heart is extremely eager to participate in the game with the fire as soon as possible.

Perhaps the entire Australian people will change their attitude towards the bushfires because of this rescue.

Soon, a number of fire trucks drove to the scene.

A temporary headquarters was set up in a spacious area outside the town.

In the evening, Liu Wei and the mayor of the town went to the headquarters to visit the firefighters.

The commander stood in front of the computer monitor, held the walkie-talkie, and ordered: "The helicopter department is suspended from carrying out its mission.

The fire on the left side is basically under control, and the third and seventh teams are attacking the left side, and there can be no re-ignition!"

The firefighter who turned his head to the left to operate the equipment asked, "Report the weather and direction tonight!"

"The wind direction is southerly, the wind speed is 6!"

The commander in turn passed the message to the firefighters on the front lines.

It lasted for half an hour, he wiped the sweat from his head, turned around and sat down in a chair, and still stared nervously at the red dot on the display, and he stood up with a slight tendency to spread.

Half past ten in the evening.

The commander sat down to drink saliva and eat and rest.

The mayor went up and talked to him for a while.

The commander's gaze shifted to Liu Wei, got up and walked over, "Hello, Liu, I am Mark sent by the State Fire Department to support, thank you for responding to the mountain fire in a timely and accurate manner, and buying us a lot of time."

At the same time, I would also like to thank you for calling in civilian helicopter support to improve the efficiency of firefighting.

By the way, Liu, I heard that you are an expert in wildlife research in China?

I competed in Europe last year with firefighters from your country, and you took first place, we came second!"

Liu Wei nodded and said, "I have heard that Australian firefighters are very professional, and I believe that you can control the fire!"

"It will!" the commander smiled.

Coming out of the temporary headquarters, Liu Wei went to the rest room arranged by the mayor to rest.

It took nearly three days to extinguish the wildfire, and the lush forest now looks like an open-pit coal mine from a distance.

Liu Wei thought of the wombata that rescued other animals, and wondered if it was still alive?

After the fire was extinguished, the residents of the town rushed back one after another, and they looked at the scene in front of them with heavy hearts.

If the firefighters and town leaders had put out the fire in time, they might not have been able to return to their homes.

The mayor took the government staff to bid farewell to the fire brigade, and after watching the last fire truck leave, the mayor turned back to look for Liu Wei.
