331.Big Slap Fire Extinguishing (2/5)
The fire is not very big, and the reason why it can be seen from such a distance is that the night is too dark, and a little fire can be amplified.
Lao Wang tried to keep calm and opened the sand table to see that a small building at the back of the residential area of the building block house was on fire, fortunately there were no residents here, so there should be no casualties for the time being.
But the building block house is flammable, because its overall structure is wood, the most afraid of fire, once the burning momentum, the fire will spread, that is fatal!
Wang didn't expect the town to be hit by fire, and most houses in New Zealand are equipped with very sensitive and loud smoke alarms. In addition, not only are there alarms in independent houses, in fact, in order to prevent fire hazards, there are fire alarms in basically all places of human activity in New Zealand, and when there is a little smoke, the sound alarm will exceed 100 decibels, until the firefighters or professionals manually turn it off.
As a result, fires are less common in the country, and houses are often extinguished as soon as they catch fire. In this way, not only did Lao Wang lack experience in prevention, but even old inspectors like Hani ignored this aspect and did not buy fire extinguishers as soon as possible.
Now the fire is only concentrated on the first floor of the small building of the building block house, and it is spreading to the second floor, Lao Wang is in a hurry to think of a way quickly, he looked at the small building on the sand table that is not the size of his fist, and he has an idea in his heart.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people paying attention to the fire, he shrunk the sand table and turned the building into the size of a toy, reached out and slapped it on the small building, and smashed the two-story small building directly to the ground.
There was a water pipe installed in the small building, but the building was broken, the water pipe was also broken, and the high-pressure water spewed out.
He slapped the building to pieces, but in fact suppressed the fire, and waited until the water in the water pipe spewed out, and the remaining flames were also controlled.
The marauders drove over as fast as they could, and when they arrived, many people from the town had come to participate in the firefighting, including Uncle Bing, the Anderson family, Kim Zhongtai and his staff, and of course, Eva and others, fifty or sixty people gathered around the burning building.
The marauders stopped, Atulu and Uncle Bing were evacuating the crowd of onlookers, and when they saw the old queen and Uncle Bing giving him a look, the old king knew what to do, and walked aside and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Uncle Bing showed him what looked like a firecracker, and said: "The fire has been controlled early, I came and searched the small building, and found this behind the wooden door, the timed igniter, there is a smell of diesel burning in the air, this is someone committed arson." ”
Lao Wang's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Damn, gangsters? ”
Uncle Bing nodded and said, "There is no better explanation, but who did it?" I didn't find any clues. ”
Eva then came to him with the frightened writer Hill, who was the first to notice the fire, saying, "You know Mayor Mare, I'm a writer, and I tend to be more inspired in the dead of night, and I sleep late." ”
"I know, and then how did you find out?"
"I didn't find out that it was my dog Rika, who was playing in the yard and suddenly barked. Worried about affecting my neighbors, I came out to stop it, and then I saw a fire burning behind the neighborhood. Hill suddenly became anxious when he said this, "Hey, Rika, where's my Rika?" ”
Lao Wang asked Aturu to take the strong man to find him a dog, and said, "Don't worry, man, with such a small area, Rika won't lose it." I wonder, when it was on fire, did you hear the sound of the smoke alarm? ”
"No, definitely not!" Ciel said with certainty, "I saw the flames, and then hurried to Eva to let her inform you, but she hit me." ”
Speaking of which, the writer was aggrieved.
Eva apologized: "I'm sorry, Ciel, I thought you were crazy to play hooligan, you didn't wear a shirt at the time, so I ...... Hope I didn't hurt you. Oh yes Wang, I called the fire alarm to Louistown, they have a fire brigade and should be coming soon. ”
He nodded to show that he understood, and asked Eva to take little Lori back to sleep first, while he took Uncle Bing and others to the side of the small building that he had scattered and looked at it seriously.
Uncle Bing sighed: "Fortunately, the construction quality of this damn building block house is not up to par, and the house collapsed before the first floor burned, which happened to extinguish the flames, otherwise let it burn the whole thing, we don't have a fire truck, it would be troublesome." ”
Bowen and others also nodded fearfully, there are more than 40 small buildings in this building block house residential area, when Lao Wang spent 5 million New Zealand dollars to build this residential area, and now the occupancy rate is close to half, if the whole burns, it will not only lose money, but also people's hearts.
Lao Wang's face was ugly, if he hadn't taken the opportunity to shoot down the building, the fire would probably spread.
Therefore, no matter who ignited the fire, as long as he can catch the murderer, he will definitely not let them go!
The small building now looks miserable, its main body has been shattered, the wood on the first floor is charred and smells of fire, and the water is splashing, as if it has been burned to ruins.
Lao Wang asked his subordinates to search for the smoke alarm, and said: "When the fire burns, the smoke alarm does not go off, someone must have destroyed it, go find it, and see if you can find some traces from it." ”
One resident shook his head and said, "Mayor of the town, I don't think someone has broken the smoke alarm, but its battery is dead." Because the alarm in my house ran out of power two days ago, the battery that was just replaced. ”
It is possible that the battery life of smoke alarms is about six months to a year, and these buildings have been built for more than half a year.
Usually, when the battery is low, the alarm will sound a reminder, but the building is uninhabited when it is on fire, and even if there is a reminder, no one hears it, and no one replaces the battery.
The fire truck in Louis Town drove over, thanks to the fact that American Road is almost completed, this road directly connects Sunset Town and Louis Town, the two sides are only more than 20 kilometers apart, which is closer than the Olympic City, in this case, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
The fire truck was accompanied by the town's Sheriff Upton Roosevelt, and Wang shook hands with him and thanked him: "Thank you very much for your concern, Sheriff Roosevelt, we are fine here, someone set the fire on it, but God forbid, the building collapsed and put out the fire." ”
Roosevelt nodded and said: "Then you don't need to thank me, thank God forbid, to be honest, my rescue is a bit slow, I hope you can understand, after all, these guys under me are not professional fire brigades." ”
At the location where the alarm was installed, Uncle Bing found the failed alarm, which was indeed not destroyed, but the battery was dead, and the idea of looking for fingerprints from above was shattered.
Looking at the timing igniter, Lao Wang asked everyone if they could find out the timing time, Uncle Bing shook his head, saying that the timing of the igniter was burned out, and it was difficult to find it.
In this way, it seems that all the clues are broken. (To be continued.) )
