Chapter 63: Fighting the Fire
The roar of sirens pierced the eardrums, and several police cars rushed outside the Haitian Hotel at the same time...... A police car led by a sudden brake, the door opened immediately. A middle-aged man in a police uniform flashed out of the police car with a serious expression.
"Why is the scene so chaotic! There are too many people watching the excitement in this neighborhood. Li Daodao! You quickly pull out the safety line and disperse the crowd so that it doesn't interfere with the operation of the fire fighting system for a while. Qiao Junping, member of the Standing Committee of the Donghai Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, had a serious expression on his face at this time.
"Got it! Managing director. The policeman in a police uniform named Li Daodao, after hearing this, quickly organized the police force at the scene, pulled the cordon, and began to control the crowd to retreat.
Qiao Junping, as one of the members of the Standing Committee of the Donghai City Municipal Party Committee, was supposed to attend a cocktail party tonight. Since he was going to come to the Haitian Hotel in the evening, in the afternoon, he took the time to check the work of the police station in the North District, where the Haitian Hotel is located.
After the work inspection was completed, Qiao Junping, who was going to rest for a while at the Beidao District Police Station, came to the hotel. When the Haitian fire alarm first broke out, he immediately received a call from Secretary Zhang of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor Jin, asking him to put down everything and rush to the scene as soon as possible to monitor the fire situation and direct the scene to fight the fire.
After the call, Qiao Junping also reacted with great speed and went straight to the scene of the fire. While communicating the disaster emergency plan by phone, he dispatched the city's fire and police forces, hoping to control the disaster to a minimum.
You must know that the Haitian Hotel involved in today's fire is a designated service unit for the tourism festival, and the director team of the tourism festival still lives in it. If something uncontrollable happens, the consequences will definitely not be borne by a small bureau chief, and even the entire Donghai City may not be able to bear it.
When he came by car, Qiao Junping had imagined the scene of the fire countless times. After all, he still knows the scale of Haitian Hotel, and it is also one of the largest hotels in the city. It's not a high-risk special enterprise, even if it burns, it shouldn't be too exaggerated.
It's all small flames! It's just that the leaders of the municipal party committee are too sensitive. Unexpectedly, as soon as Qiao Junping arrived at the scene, he knew with the naked eye what kind of small flame this was, it was simply a skyrocketing fire, with thick smoke billowing and covering the sky, which was a scene that he had never seen in the police for so many years.
At this time, the entire middle floor of the Haitian Hotel was burned, and a big hole was blown up on the east side of the hotel.
Qiao Junping thought of the survivors above the twenty-third floor! I'm afraid that the ending will be quite dangerous. The only hope now is that when the fire first broke out, the high-level personnel had been evacuated en masse, which of course was the most hode.
But the problem is that from the time the fire broke out until Qiao Junping arrived here, to be honest, the time was not too long. In such a short period of time, it is unlikely that you want to leave the upper floors, which are full of fire and smoke.
You must know that Qiao Junping can still feel it from the phone call of the two giants just now. There must be some important person who is trapped in the fire right now. In particular, Secretary Zhang's phone call was even more nervous, and he even heard the other party's trembling, believing that he must be facing a lot of pressure, otherwise Secretary Zhang, who is known for his calmness, would not be able to behave like this.
After Qiao Junping arrived at the scene, he quickly commanded and deployed the police force and controlled the order of the scene...... The fire brigade of Nandao District, which is the closest to here, also rushed to the scene as soon as possible. After parking, firefighters rushed out of their cars, sorted out their equipment, cut off the power to the hotel, and began to prepare to fight the fire.
There was chaos all around at this time, and Qiao Junping was dispatching around with an anxious mood, but at this time, he found Shen Dehai standing there. As a well-known businessman who got up early in the city, this Shen Dehai and Qiao Junping still knew him.
When Qiao Junping saw the other party, he hurriedly walked over and said with some anger: "Chairman Shen! What are you guys doing? How did such a big safety accident happen! ”
At this time, Shen Dehai, who was anxious, was woken up by Qiao Junping from the sluggish state he had fallen into, and after following the sound to see the comer, he also said with a bitter face: "I don't know either!" Director Joe. My daughter is still trapped in there! Director Qiao, hurry up and send someone to rescue her! ”
"Shen Shengnan is still inside! How do you know? Qiao Junping was shocked when he heard this, and he had a little unpleasant premonition in his heart, if Shen Shengnan at the top of the hierarchy hadn't evacuated now, then the hope of others evacuating was also very slim.
"I've just called a couple of executives who have scheduled a cocktail party! Except for one or two people who were receiving them below, none of the top staff answered the phone. I'm afraid they're all trapped inside! Shen Dehai had an anxious expression on his face, looking a little uneasy.
"What the hell is your hotel doing! How can there be such a big security risk. Look at it, the twenty-three floors have blown up a big hole. You've got bombs in there! Qiao Junping frowned and said angrily.
"I don't know! Now the hotel is in charge of Katsuo. However, no large explosives should be placed. The safety rating of our hotel has been the leading unit in the city for many years. Something special must have happened! Director Qiao, you have to hurry up and arrange a rescue operation for the top-level personnel! With such a big fire, if it goes too late, people will die. Even if it can't be burned, it will be smoked to death. Shen Dehai's expression was about to cry at this time, which showed the anxiety in his heart.
Seeing this, Qiao Junping also knew in his heart, it seems that Shen Dehai may really not know the specific situation, and it is in vain to ask him. What's more, now is not the time to hold accountable, and it is still important to save people now. Thinking of this, Qiao Junping got busy again and hurriedly communicated the fire fighting plan with the fire squadron leader.
Downstairs in the hotel, the firefighting operation has been launched, and the surroundings have begun to be busy urgently......
……
Billowing smoke gushed out through the open elevator doors and rose into the rooftop lobby...... Because the hall was closed, the black smoke at the top of the hall was getting thicker and thicker, like a rolling dark cloud, which looked very amazing.
In addition to the sporadic ringing of telephones in the hall, almost everyone fell to the ground, and the shock wave of the huge explosion just now shook everyone in the room at once. All of a sudden, everyone had a splitting headache, tinnitus and eyes, and there was no sound except for some moans of pain, and it seemed a little quiet.
With the passage of time and the constant ringing of the telephone, people who gradually regained consciousness were awakened...... When some people came to their senses first, they found that the on-site environment had become extremely bad at this time, and they immediately fell into a panic again.
Especially some girls! Many of them have begun to cry...... Because of a great sense of fear and oppression, mixed with panic, permeated the hall, and people could not help but be afraid.
Tang Yong, as one of the first sober men, was also flustered and nervous at the beginning. But after a while, his emotions calmed down slightly, and he hurriedly stood up. However, the smoke in the hall was already very thick at this time, and when I stood up, I could smell a lot of smoke, so I had to lower my body slightly.
The sky outside the building is getting dark, and although there are emergency lights in the hall at this time, you can see some of the surrounding environment. But after all, the emergency lights are placed in a high place, and after being blocked by smoke and dust, the brightness is not very high, and normal people will be affected to a certain extent, and the hall is not too bright, but it can be seen clearly.
Tang Yong glanced around, and didn't find Shen Shengnan's shadow, so he opened his mouth and shouted, "Mr. Shen! Mr. Shen! Where are you? Can you hear me! Mr. Shen! Mr. Shen! ”
"I ...... I'm here! A feeble voice came from the side of the hall.
After Tang Yong heard it, he hurriedly followed the direction from which the voice came, lowered his head, and ran over...... After running closer, he found that Shen Shengnan was being pressed by a man at the moment.
Tang Yong hurriedly ran over and pulled away the man who no longer knew whether he was dead or alive......
