(3) Emergency assembly

"Brother Fang, wake up, the police. "I was waking up from a dream, I opened my eyes sleepily, and felt the top bunk of the iron bed "creak" shaking, and there were many people around me who were busy, looking for clothes and shoes. There was chaos in the room of more than 20 people.

"What kind of police?" I looked confused, and it was also true that at this time I was participating in the rotation training of grass-roots commanders organized by the detachment, and in addition to one cadre who led the class, the rest of the grass-roots commanders in the city took turns to gather in the Chengnan District Brigade for a week of off-duty training. I've been here for less than three days, and in the middle of the night I called us to the police?

"It was said that there was a fire in the department store on Huancheng Road, and the matter was so big that the city leaders went to the scene. Wu Hao, the squadron leader of the Tokugawa County Squadron, jumped down from the top bunk and said while lifting his pants.

"Hurry up, Brother Fang." Wu Hao's voice just fell.

"Tsk......" whistle sounded in the hallway.

"All the staff of the training course gathered downstairs".

Before I could come to my senses, many figures dangled in the dark room, scrambling towards the door.

I got up from the bed with a carp, grabbed my camouflage uniform, and ran down the fire garage along the group as I wore it.

Obviously, I wasn't the only one in the dark, everyone had a look of sleepiness and confusion on their faces, and everyone was whispering.

"Stand still!" a rugged male voice came from behind the fire truck.

Suddenly, there was silence in the garage.

Pan deputy chief of staff of the detachment appeared in front of us wearing a winter desert camouflage training uniform, and his training boots stepped on the ground with a majestic face.

Deputy Chief of Staff Pan is in his 30s, with a chubby figure and a thick country accent, and his head looks particularly shiny under the light because of his baldness. He was the head of our training course.

"Some comrades may have heard that just now, a fire broke out in the department store on Huancheng Road, and there were casualties. The detachment has successively mobilized more than 100 people from 8 squadrons in the urban area and surrounding counties to attend the scene. Everyone also knows that nearly half of the cadres of our squadron in the city are trained here. The deputy chief of staff said calmly. Due to the cold weather and the semi-sleepy state, most people's eyes are confused.

"But what is the training?" he said suddenly. As if scolding, as if asking, I suddenly felt a thrill and shivered.

The air was quiet, no one spoke.

"The training is your ability to pull out at critical moments and whether you can win. He yelled loudly, echoing in the garage.

"Now, more than 100 of our comrades-in-arms in front of us are rescuing on the fire, and the party committee of the detachment requires us 26 people to form a cadre commando team to test the results of the training. ”

"Fang Lu, out of the ranks," he shouted.

"To. I replied in a loud voice.

"You will lead the 12 members of the 1st Commando Team to fight with the squadron of the Chengnan District. ”

The winter nights are long, and there seems to be no other characteristic than the cold. The impact of being able to mobilize more than 100 people to participate in fighting fires at the same time can be imagined.

Sure enough, from a distance, I saw a row of fire trucks parked on the side of the road into the department store warehouse, the flashing lights kept flashing, the water outlets on the car were connected to the hoses, and the ground was criss-crossing the hose trunks, and there were constantly comrades wearing combat uniforms going in and out, and there were reinforcements of fire trucks driving in one after another, and power generation vehicles, ambulances, and police cars were parked in a row on the side of the road.

The headquarters was set up in a breakfast shop on the street outside the warehouse, and the owner got up to prepare breakfast, and when he heard that the warehouse had been fired, he took the initiative to leave the store as a temporary headquarters. People from the relevant functional departments rushed in. Chief of Staff Wang was sketching a floor plan on a small portable drawing board, and when he saw us coming, he gathered together to arrange the combat mission.

"The warehouse on fire is a square structure, with an area of nearly 2,700 square meters, with a total of 4 entrances and exits, which is an area, but in order to facilitate the classification and storage, the warehouse was separated into four areas by installing combustible color steel plates two years ago, divided into 1234, and at the same time changed the location of the original 4 exits. Among them, the exit of Zone 4 is the main gate of the warehouse, and the side doors are in Zone 3 and Zone 2 respectively. Area 1 is the back door, which is partially being renovated and contains an unknown number of paint cans, new clothes, and small appliances. Chief of Staff Wang pointed to the small drawing board and said solemnly.

"In the early stage, we had comrades who had entered the fire from the side door, that is, Area 3, but before they reached the core position, there was a bombardment, and they were almost injured, but they rescued a trapped person who was unconscious. ”

"Chief of Staff, is the combustible material clear?" asked a squadron cadre.

"I asked the person in charge of the department store, and the combustibles are mainly a large number of ready-to-wear products, plastic daily necessities, and a small amount of construction paint in Area A. What I'm worried about now is that if the color steel plate is ignited, resulting in poor heat dissipation, the chance of another explosion will be greater. Chief of Staff Wang replied with all his thoughts.

"Therefore, you should hurry up and enter from the side area 3 and 2, and use flanking tactics to control the spread of the fire to the greatest extent."

"Can't you enter from Area 1?" asked again, pointing to the sketchboard.

"According to the investigation, the No. 1 point is preliminarily determined to be the fire point, and the toxic gas produced by smoldering is very thick, in the case of unknown circumstances, personnel may enter the explosion and poisoning, we have dispatched a fire extinguishing robot to detect and assist in extinguishing the fire. Firefighters entered from both sides of the fire. ”

The chief of staff is obviously very confident in the function of the fire-fighting robot, which was imported from abroad only last year and spent more than 1.3 million yuan, using a crawler-type mobile water cannon with a concealed front-facing camera, which is suitable for detection and fire extinguishing in various smoke and toxic combustion environments.

Because the burning plastics and fabrics in the warehouse produce a large amount of carbon monoxide, dioxin and other toxic gases, and the paint will explode, the personnel who go deep into the internal attack can only stay for less than 20 minutes at a time, and then have to change the next batch to prevent poisoning. In this way, the combat efficiency of flanking fire extinguishing is very low.

After coming out of the headquarters, I saw the thick smoke billowing in the dark sky from a distance, and the "rumbling" sound made by the high-power fire truck pump from time to time beside me.

Just as we were about to go deep into the fire, we suddenly heard a "bang" and a woman's "ouch" call, and from an ambulance on the side of the road, an old man wearing a green military coat and only socks on his feet ran down, and a man and a woman in green coats came out of the car and tried to catch him.

The old man was wearing a green military coat, with a duct tape on the left side of his face, and he was wearing socks and running barefoot in the direction of the fire.

"Hey, don't run, hey, you guys can help fence it. The nurse shouted breathlessly from behind, the road was slippery, and the little sister almost fell.

Fortunately, the firefighters who came out in front heard the call and stopped the old man. I immediately rushed up with someone.

"Fang guided, he was going to rush to the fire. "The firefighter told me.

The old man was about 60 years old, and he stood on the street in a sock in the winter, his small stature was extremely incommensurate with the long military coat he was wrapping, his face was unshaven on the duct tape, and he had an impatient expression under his gray hair, "My things are still in there, and none of you can be responsible for breaking them." ”

When I heard this, I was only surprised, who was this old man? What made him so panicked when such a big fire was rushing in.

"Uncle, now the fire is so big, we are fighting the fire, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, you can't move out. I patiently persuaded him, and his comrades-in-arms beside him also agreed, and two of them stepped forward to help him.

Maybe it was because we surrounded him so much that he couldn't get out, or maybe it was cold, and the old man wore a military coat and kept rubbing his hands in the middle.

Suddenly, he let out a cry of "wow", shook off his comrades who were helping him, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, which froze us there again. The weather was so cold, I hurriedly helped him up with my comrades next to me.

"If you can't afford it, you can't afford it, blame me for being curious, and blame me. The old man looked depressed, and tears and snot flowed down his face.

At this time, two nurses in green coats rushed to our midst, trying to forcibly drag the old man back to the ambulance.

"He had just been rescued from inside by your men, in a slight coma, inhaling poisonous gases. I was still injecting oxygen, and when I woke up, I was making a fuss and saying something big, and I was going to run when I opened the car door. The little nurse with glasses said to us.

"It's a lot of strength. The little brother moved his arm helplessly, obviously, he didn't stop the old man just now.

Considering that the fire was very big and I was busy with the rescue, I asked Wu Hao and another cadre to cooperate with the nurse to carry the old man back to the ambulance to further understand the situation. I ran to the fire with the rest of the people.
