Two bitter workers of the hotel walked back while pulling the gas canister, and also sang loudly: "The gas company, it is good, the fifteenth day of the first month, no holiday, alas, we have gas to cook, everyone is hungry without gas, ten yuan a bottle of two pot heads, 100 yuan a pot of braised pork, if it is a thousand yuan, you also have it, my fair lady comes to accompany the wine, lala, "send the new white lady to the legend of the beautiful scenery of the West Lake in March."

These two guys didn't know that it was these gas canisters that caused the disaster

The gas tank was transported back to the hotel, and when the kitchen master was stir-frying, a gas tank leaked due to the safety valve not being screwed properly, and the safety valve port of the gas tank was ignited instantly, and the plastic pipe originally connected to the safety valve was quickly burned off

At this point, the gas tank was just catching fire, and if the chef had turned off the gas valve quickly, a disaster could have been avoided. But the chef had never seen such a situation before, and his previous master had never taught him what to do in such a situation. The guy was stunned for a moment before he tried to find a fire extinguisher, and by the time he scrambled to pull out a dry powder fire extinguisher from a corner of a wall overgrown with spiders, the fire on the gas tank was getting bigger and bigger.

Worst of all, when the chef pointed the nozzle of the dry chemical fire extinguisher at the ignition point and pressed the fire extinguisher's spray button, nothing came out of the fire extinguisher

The chef immediately panicked even more and ran out of the kitchen shouting "fire, fire". As a result, the chef lost the opportunity to eliminate the disaster.

By the time the people outside the kitchen heard the movement and rushed to the kitchen, the entire upper part of the gas tank had become a huge orange-red fireball, emitting bursts of scorching heat

It turns out that fierce men are everywhere

When a guy saw the critical situation in front of him, he picked up a wet rag placed on the tap water platform, quickly wrapped his hands and arms, and then without hesitation, he put his hand into the fireball, and instantly closed the valve of the gas tank

This guy took it for granted that if he turned off the valve of the gas tank, the fire would definitely be extinguished, but this guy only knew one thing, not the other

If the fire has just started and the temperature of the tank has not risen, it is correct to close the valve quickly, and the disaster can be resolved as quickly as possible.

But if the fire has already started and the temperature of the tank is already very high, it is very dangerous to close the valve again

Because the temperature of the tank is too high, so the gas in the tank is in a rapid gasification state, the volume continues to increase, as long as the valve is not closed, the valve is a vent, with the increase of pressure in the tank, the flame will be higher and higher, more and more vigorous, but generally will not explode.

That's why firefighters would rather run with a burning gas canister than close the valve first to extinguish the fire.

If the valve is closed at this time, the vent of the valve will be completely blocked, because the temperature of the tank is too high, so the liquid gas inside will continue to gasify, and the gas in the tank with a rapid expansion of volume will easily burst the tank with a wall thickness of only 25 mm

Such an explosion is a purely physical process, that is, the process of the gas in the tank expanding sharply and breaking through the tank wall, which is a real gas tank explosion.

After the explosion of the gas tank, the gas quickly volatilizes into the air, and when the gas in the air reaches a certain concentration, as long as it encounters an open flame, a secondary explosion will occur immediately, which is a chemical reaction. This is the real gas explosion, and it is very powerful, and this explosion can detonate other explosives in the vicinity, causing multiple explosions

Syrian government forces once used gas canister bombs to blow up a residential building, which shows the power of the explosion

The tragedy of the Homeinn inevitably happened, when the first explosion occurred, the fierce man who closed the valve with his hand was thrown out and hit the wall headlong, and fainted directly, and the chef and the other guy were afraid of things, just standing at the door and watching, so after the first explosion, they were just thrown out and did not suffer much damage.

The first explosion was followed by a second explosion in a very short time, followed by an explosion of seven or eight gas canisters in the kitchen

The huge explosion plunged everything in the kitchen into a sea of fire, and the fierce man was almost instantly burned into charcoal, almost the entire upstairs, as well as the doors and windows of nearby houses, were instantly destroyed by the shock wave generated by the explosion, and they flew everywhere

Thankfully, the chef and the other guy were thrown out of the air during the first explosion, so this time they miraculously saved half their lives.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the snow was lit up, there was no snow tonight, but there was wind, and the raging night wind wrapped the fire, and almost instantly ignited the second floor, and the second floor also quickly burned into a raging flame

The kitchen of the hotel is on the first floor, the second floor is the private room for eating, the third floor and the fourth floor are the guest rooms, this arrangement of the hotel, completely cut off the retreat of the customers who have just had dinner, returned to the room to see the Lantern Festival party, heard the movement and ran out to see, they were all dumbfounded They wanted to shout for help, but just opened their mouths, the thick black smoke choked them into a ball

They were lucky, after all, they were not injured, and the worst thing was that the fire spread rapidly from the people who were still eating in the private rooms on the second floor, and many people were burned in an instant. The panicked crowd ran around, some ran to the third floor, which was not yet on fire, some ran to the first floor, and some boldly jumped directly from the balcony on the second floor

As soon as the people who ran to the first floor ran down the stairs, they found that the road was different, and the entire first floor was full of raging flames, and the heat wave was rolling, burning people's skin, and they were roasting people all over the body from a distance of more than ten meters. If you want to rush out from here, unless he is the reincarnation of the Fire God Lord, he is not afraid of fire. So the men began to turn and run up again. But at this time. There are people on top and those who run down. So everyone on both sides crowded on the stairs, unable to go up or down, shouting, swearing, coughing, and chaotic

It took a lot of effort for the people who ran down from the third and second floors to figure out one thing, the way down was not passable, they could only go up, climb up to the stage, and wait for rescue

So the person who was going to rush down immediately turned around and ran up the stairs, and the congested stairs returned to normal. Everyone finally ran down the stairs to the top floor of the hotel, constantly crying for help.

The loud explosion and the raging flames attracted the people from the village behind the Homeinn to fight the fire with buckets and basins. However, by this time the fire had already started, and they could not get close to the flames, so the water they got could not reach the point of ignition. Moreover, the fire was so great that the little water they got was of no avail.

At this time, the most dangerous thing is a gas station next to the left side of the hotel, if the gas station is also ignited, the consequences are even more unimaginable

What's worse is that at this time, most of the staff at the gas station have gone home for the Lantern Festival, and there are only two gas workers on duty in the gas station

It was at this time that Zhao Changshu rushed to the scene, and when he saw the form in front of him, his first reaction was that the matter was a big deal, and the second reaction was that he couldn't control this matter by himself, and he had to have a helper

Zhao Changshu hurriedly parked the car, and then ran into the crowd who were fighting the fire with buckets and basins, and shouted loudly: "I am the county magistrate Zhao Changgun, everyone obeys my command"

Although there was chaos everywhere at this time, the sound of Zhao Changshu forced out with internal force still made everyone hear it clearly.

At this time, everyone was in the six gods, and they only knew how to fight the fire indiscriminately, and when they heard that the county magistrate was coming, they all turned their eyes to Zhao Changlan.

"You, you, you, the three of you will go to the gas station immediately, assist the staff of the gas station to open the fire hydrant in the gas station, and spray water with the fire hose to extinguish the fire" Zhao Changgun's eyes swept around, and he pointed a few young and well-behaved young men with his hands. He didn't know people's names, so he could only replace them with "you, you, you".

The three young men suddenly realized, heart, the county magistrate is the county magistrate, why didn't they think that there was a fire hydrant in the gas station

The three guys said yes and left quickly.

After Zhao Changshu gave the first order, he immediately issued a second order: "Everyone listen, everyone is now all dispersed, clean up all the flammable objects around this building, and if they can't move, they must be drenched with water, and don't get too close to the fire, so as not to hurt yourself."

This is also very important, as behind the Homeinn is a cornfield covered with corn stalks that had dried for the winter, and on the other side of the cornfield is Shuilin Village. If these corn stalks are ignited, it is easy to lead the fire to Shuilin Village, and it will be another disaster

The people woke up from a dream, and the water they had brought was useless to splash on the burning building, but it would work if it was poured on the stacks of wood

As soon as the crowd dispersed, Zhao Changshu saw a powerful white column of water burst out of the gas station, spraying towards the raging flames. Fire hydrants were used in the gas station.

However, the fire in the building was so fierce that this water storm was just enough to prevent the fire from spreading to the gas station, and there was no way to control the fire elsewhere, let alone extinguish it completely.

Zhao Changshu couldn't help but be a little anxious in his heart, the fire didn't wait for anyone, if the fire couldn't be extinguished quickly, the fire continued to spread, what about those people on the roof of the building, they were a little unable to hold on now, and Zhao Changshu was worried about whether there were still people trapped in the building, and how many people were trapped inside

At this moment, Zhao Changshu saw two fiery red fire trucks suddenly driving in the distance

Zhao Changlan's first reaction was "The guy from the county fire brigade is finally here", but what puzzled him was that the two trucks did not even pull the alarm, and the style of the vehicles was not the car of the county fire brigade

When the fire truck approached, Zhao Changshu understood that this was a civilian volunteer fire brigade, because the bodies of both cars were sprayed with big white letters: "Shuilin Town Volunteer Fire Brigade".

Zhao Changshu couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, this amateur volunteer fire brigade must not be strong in combat effectiveness However, when the volunteer fire brigade put on a posture, Zhao Changshu couldn't help but be surprised
