This is a conversation between a Tianjin firefighter and a friend on the evening of the 13th: "Gangzi died and sacrificed. I'm in the car, going to Tanggu. I can't come back, my dad is your dad, remember to go to my mother's grave. ”

Liu Bin and his comrades-in-arms were the first to rush into the sea of fire. After pouring a plate of water, Liu Bin returned to get a second plate of water, and thus dodged the most violent second explosion. Although it was a little further away from the explosion point, the huge shock wave still knocked Liu Bin to the ground. Liu Bin, who was seriously injured, could not continue to participate in the rescue. With the help of the masses, Liu Bin and other injured comrades-in-arms were sent to TEDA Hospital. On the way to the hospital, Liu Bin borrowed the people's mobile phones to report a message to his family: "Mom save me, I'm choking enough, I blew up my internal organs." "

At 4:50 a.m. on August 13, the dangerous goods warehouse belonging to Ruihai Company in Tianjin Binhai New Area.

At the heart of the explosion, a firefighter froze.

The young man was wearing a mask and stood there in a daze, his eyes not blinking for more than half a minute.

As far as the eye could see, 10 of his comrades were transporting corpses from the scene. Most of the bodies were charred and mutilated, but some were recognizable, wearing firefighting suits.

10 meters next to him was a point of fire. Not far away, there were nine fire trucks that had been blown to pieces.

"It's dangerous here." The young man only said these 5 words, and his voice was low.

His comrades died.

As of 10:53 on the 13th, the Tianjin Fire Brigade has sent more than 1,000 firefighters to the scene for emergency rescue. Many firefighters did not have time to face life and death, and were engulfed in the air waves and flames generated by the explosion.

As of last night, 17 firefighters have been confirmed dead, and many are missing.

・Lift out your comrades

At about 3 o'clock in the morning, the core explosion site was 100 meters away.

Four firefighters from the Toray detachment are carrying portable fire extinguishers and spraying at the fire point. "A lot of equipment can't get in, and I can't take care of it, so I can only carry a fire extinguisher and go in." Said a firefighter.

They didn't have any extra protective equipment, not even masks.

There are many ignition points, and reports and instructions of coordinates are issued from time to time on the intercom.

What stung them more than the fire and danger were the remains of their comrades. They needed to carry the body to safety on a stretcher.

The way to transport out the comrades-in-arms was very long, and some had to walk three or four hundred meters. The two young men couldn't lift it anymore, so they gently lowered the stretcher, and the other two came to help.

In the process, no one spoke.

After transporting it out, some firefighters turned back and looked for the remaining fire spots. At this time, explosions can be heard nearby.

Looking at a stretcher beside him, a firefighter lowered his head.

"We can't help it, we can't retreat." The young man, who was more than 1.8 meters tall, burst into tears.

Around 5 a.m., the sky was slightly bright, and more than a dozen stretchers were gathered in one place.

More than a dozen firefighters, who were resting, gathered in front of the stretcher from all sides and consciously lined up.

"Don't fall asleep, boy. ”

Many firefighters can't use the exact words to describe the scene of the explosion.

"It's tragic." Such a scene is rare for firefighters who have been in danger for a long time.

"It's like a scene in a war, there is less than 10 seconds before and after the two loud bangs, and there are iron blocks and fireballs flying everywhere, and the whole person is instantly wrapped in fire." Li Guangqing, 31, reminisced from lying on the bed on the 9th floor of TEDA Hospital.

He was one of the first firefighters to arrive at the scene, "At about 11 p.m., the fire was very big. "After 14 years as a firefighter, he has never seen such a big fire, such a violent explosion.

Li Guangqing remembers that the Eighth Street Squadron of the Fire Detachment of the Development Zone, where he works, went to 4 fire trucks and 26 soldiers, and he was responsible for the water supply at the scene.

"After the two explosions, there was a muffled sound, and my first reaction was to lie down, because the air wave shock wave was pushed forward, and I didn't dare to look back."

The instinctive survival reaction saved him, but he couldn't completely avoid the danger, and the flying iron hit him in the back, and he fell unconscious on the spot.

The next time I woke up, I was in a hospital bed, and the bedside card said "lower back and pelvic contusion".

Another lethality from the explosion comes from the debris kicked up by the air waves.

Several pieces of glass pierced into the pelvis of firefighter Liu Xiaojing, and the doctor used tweezers to remove the glass pieces. "It hurts so much that I can't see the size of the glass."

Like Li Guangqing, Liu Xiaojing fainted in the explosion in an instant.

He still has a residual memory: he regained a little consciousness later, and felt that he was on the way to the hospital, and there were people around him who encouraged him: "Boy, hold on, don't fall asleep." ”

・Firefighting suits with blood on them

Early this morning, on the grass at the entrance of TEDA Hospital, there was still a firefighting suit: the blood on the cuffs had congealed, and the blood on the chest had turned black and purple. Doctors said it was thrown by a firefighter when it was brought in.

"The clothes were torn apart, and the people were charred." The doctor said.

At the back door of the hospital's emergency room, in a large basket, at least five firefighting suits are piled high. Under a bed in the emergency room, a firefighter boot was dropped, and dense droplets of blood were dropped on it.

Many citizens who came to the hospital stared at these firefighting suits for a long time.

The first thing a firefighter who was lying on an emergency bed and receiving emergency resuscitation said to the doctor was, "Did everyone run out?"

Li Qing, a nephrologist, said that among all the injured received by the hospital, the most serious injuries were firefighters, and some soldiers were charred, and they could only be judged to be firefighters based on the remaining clothing.

In that scene, the doctor, who is in his 50s, burst into tears.

Because a firefighter told him, "If you go to the scene, you may not be able to get out, but there is no way, this is our duty."

Unfortunately, many firefighters do not have the opportunity to speak.

From 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. on the 13th alone, at TEDA Hospital, a reporter from the Beijing News saw the bodies of six firefighters being pulled to the gate by ambulance, and then directly pushed into the morgue.

Later, the morgue could not be piled up, and the body could only be temporarily placed in a secluded hall on the east side of the first floor of the hospital.

An officer from the fire brigade came to identify it, lifted the blue cloth, revealing a burnt leg, and the leader slammed his head back, "Oh my God, I can't recognize this." ”

When a firefighter was carried off a stretcher, blood soaking through the sheets, the doctor shook his head, "Didn't make it to the hospital." ”

Volunteers, doctors, and nurses were silent, and many citizens gathered around, bowing their heads and saluting.

・The wedding of the "veteran".

Yesterday afternoon, in the empty building of the Tianjin Eighth Avenue Fire Squadron, the doors and windows were shattered. The hands of the clock are forever frozen at 11:36 p.m., which is exactly the time of the second explosion.

The office building was about 1,500 meters away from the explosion point, and at the time of the explosion, all the firefighters of the squadron were at the scene closer to the explosion point.

Some of them did not return.

Yang Gang, a combatant of the Eighth Avenue Squadron, a young man who has been in the army for less than four years, is only 23 years old.

This name also became one of the six firefighters who have been confirmed to have died.

The other five names are: Yin Yanrong, Zhen Yuhang, Shao Junqiang (Development Zone Fire Detachment), Tian Baojian, Yuan Hai (Free Trade Zone Public Security Fire Detachment).

Among the 6 firefighters, 2 are "post-80s" and 4 are "post-90s", the youngest of whom was born in September 1997 and is not yet 18 years old.

Yin Yanrong was the first firefighter to be confirmed killed, he has been in the army for nearly 6 years, and he is a veteran in the fire brigade.

Zhou Chen, commander of the militia company in Xinglong Village, Da Luomi Town, Fangzheng County, Heilongjiang Province, said that Yin Yanrong grew up with his grandparents and was the only son in his family.

Back in his hometown, Yin Yanrong felt honored, and the villagers praised him for "doing a good job and developing." ”

The villagers know his glorious deeds: in the previous firefighting, Yin Yanrong carried a girl directly from the fire on the 6th floor, "The girl was very moved, and said that she wanted to marry him." Zhou Chen said.

Yin Yanrong got married, just 12 days ago. This time I went home to visit relatives, in fact, I had a wedding.

It should be said that it is three joys: entering the marriage hall, the wife is two months pregnant, has just bought a new house, and has completed the procedures.

The moment of the wedding is the happiest. The master of ceremonies prepared the popular local "certificate grabbing" link - throwing the marriage certificate into the air, and whoever grabs the marriage certificate for the bride and groom will be in charge of the house in the future.

To the surprise of the guests in the audience, Yin Yanrong did not reach out to grab it.

"I don't have to rob it, my wife will be in charge of the house in the future!" The veteran "automatically threw in the towel."

・Three brothers who have lost contact

Most of these firefighters who entered the fire scene were "post-90s".

Three soldiers of the Fourth Brigade of the Tianjin Port Fire Squadron were the first to arrive at the scene, and they disappeared in the explosion and have been lost so far.

The three of them "bowed to the handle" and were called brothers. The eldest of them is 22 years old and only graduated from secondary school last year, and the other two boys have just turned 21.

A boy's mother knows the friendship of the three of them, the life in the fire brigade is boring, they are all closed management, they always play ball together, eat together, and even say that they want to find a girlfriend together.

Another mother recalled that her son once told his family that the logistics warehouse next to the four brigades was a bit dangerous.

In the hospital, the three mothers who were waiting for the news were crying, "The son said that he wanted to be brothers with them in life and death." One mom recalled.

is also uncertain about life and death, as well as firefighter Xiao Jiang.

Xiao Jiang's office is very close to the explosion site, and his comrades-in-arms said that the explosion occurred last night as soon as Xiao Jiang was close to the fire.

All the comrades could see was the fire truck that had been blown apart.

Xiao Jiang's mobile phone can still be dialed now, but no one has answered it for ten hours.

His father went to the scene and found the phone, but he didn't find Xiaojiang.

His wife had been waiting for four hours at TEDA Hospital. Just guarding the door, a fire truck came, and she stood on tiptoe to look. Once, twice...... Neither.

Whenever someone she knows comes to appease her and tells her: Xiao Jiang is fine. Wives will say, "I don't want to listen to that." ”

"I don't want 'it's okay,' I want him to come back, come back to me. No matter what he ends up with, I am willing to serve him. ”

[Scene 1: Crying while continuing to extinguish the fire] Near the blown up fire truck, firefighters are carrying the bodies of their teammates, and at least three charred bodies are carried away. He was then taken to a nearby TEDA hospital and taken directly to the morgue. In the vicinity of the explosion center, each firefighter was armed with a fire extinguisher, which was extinguished wherever there was an open flame. In an interview with media reporters, the firefighters said that they had learned that some teammates had been killed, and continued to extinguish the fire while crying.

[Picture 2: Who do we not rush?] A firefighter surnamed Lu from the Xingang Fire Department in Tanggu, Tianjin, who is only 20 years old and a native of Chongqing, told reporters that he arrived at 12 o'clock last night and had already gone in three or four times. Some of the wounded were carried out, and the inside was already in ruins, the worst scene in the four years of firefighting. An hour ago, it was still putting out the fire, and now it is said that there is an uncertain substance burning. Experts from Beijing gave news and were on standby. "That's what we do, we have the best equipment, we have the most professional training, we don't rush who we don't rush? If you get used to it, you don't have time to react, you have to move when you say it! "

[Picture 3: My dad is your dad, remember to go to my mother's grave] A screenshot of a WeChat conversation between a Tianjin firefighter and a friend last night circulated on the Internet: "Gangzi died and died. I'm in the car, going to Tanggu. I can't come back, my dad is your dad, remember to go to my mother's grave. "

[Picture 4: Watching the firefighters just leave, uncomfortable] In TEDA Hospital, there are still injured people being carried into the emergency room. The bodies of the three deceased had not yet had time to be taken to the morgue and were quietly parked next to the emergency room. In the corner of the emergency hall, three or four bloody firefighting suits were piled up. A nurse walked out of the emergency room crying, "It's uncomfortable to watch the firefighters just leave." Inside the fire, a firefighter told reporters sadly that at least 19 firefighters who were the first to enter the fire at the time of the incident "didn't explode at first, they all went in, and they exploded." "A few of them were brought out just now, and they were all gone."
