A fire broke out on the 11th floor of the residential building of Building C in the West Park Community.

When Xu Haodong arrived, the fire scene was full of people, firefighting, watching the excitement, evacuated residents, and dozens of reporters.

The fire started at the west end of the eleventh floor, and the flames were rising to the sky with thick smoke.

Five fire trucks and five water columns are fighting to the death with the god of fire.

As soon as the taxi stopped in front of the community, Xu Haodong pushed the door and got out of the car, leaving Xu Yunjie and running into the community.

At the same time, Xu Haodong looked at the time display on his phone: 9:43 p.m.

The temporary headquarters for firefighting was in the green area in front of the residential building, and Mayor Li Jiguo, Public Security Bureau Director Yang Ling, Political Commissar Zhou Zhengan, and Deputy Director Qi Kejun were all there, and Xu Haodong arrived almost at the same time as Executive Vice Mayor Kong Zhenghao, Vice Mayor Chen Xiujie, and Director of the Municipal Government Office Gao Haifeng.

Yang Ling, director of the Public Security Bureau, made a brief report to Xu Haodong and others in a hurried tone, "About 16 minutes ago, that is, at 9:26 p.m., 110 and 119 received a report at the same time that a fire broke out on the 11th floor of the residential building of Building C in Xiyuan Community. The fire brigade arrived at 9:30 p.m., and so far, 133 police officers, five fire trucks and five ambulances, and 71 community security guards trained in firefighting have been involved, and Mayor Li and I arrived at 9:36 p.m. and 9:38 p.m. respectively. ”

Xu Haodong asked solemnly: "How is the evacuation and rescue situation of residents?" ”

Zhou Zhengan, political commissar of the Public Security Bureau, took the computer and reported to Xu Haodong, "Report to Secretary Xu, Building C has a total of 18 floors, a total of 216 households, and a total of 769 people...... This is our real-time monitoring of the three entrances and exits and the rooftop, and so far, 411 residents have been evacuated. We organized four evacuation teams to conduct door-to-door searches from the 11th floor down, the 6th floor down, the 11th floor up, and the 14th floor up. ”

Xu Haodong looked at the feedback on the computer, waved his hand and said: "Only four hundred and eleven people have been evacuated, the speed is too slow, Lao Zhou, please command from the front and order them to speed up, there are not enough manpower, you can recruit trained volunteers on the spot." ”

Zhou Zheng'an left in response.

Xu Haodong took a few steps forward, took the telescope in Li Jiguo's hand, and looked at the fire point one hundred and fifty meters away, "Lao Li, how is the fire?" Is it under control? ”

Li Jiguo said: "Not yet, the fire started in the house of a resident surnamed Feng at the west end, and now the fire has spread to the fourth, that is, there are now four households on fire." There are three situations now: First, the spread of the fire has slowed down. Second, the upper and lower floors of the fire have been successfully controlled and there is no sign of fire. Third, except for the house surnamed Feng at the place where the fire started, the other three families and 11 people who caught fire have all been confirmed to have been evacuated safely. ”

Xu Haodong looked at the top floor with a telescope, "What about our helicopter?" Shouldn't residents of the eleventh floor or more retreat to the top floor? I don't see the helicopter, huh? ”

As soon as the words fell, three helicopters appeared in the night sky.

Li Jiguo said: "This is a residential building built nine years ago, and the quality is not as good as it is now, and only three helicopters can be parked at the same time. The speed of their dispatch is not slow, and each rescue trip takes six to eight minutes, and this is the second trip. ”

Xu Haodong said: "Then transfer a few more helicopters, there are only three helicopter emergency detachments, and you immediately order temporary requisition to the society." ”

Li Jiguo said: "I will immediately contact the command center of the city's armed forces. ”

Xu Haodong threw the telescope aside, and saw Yan Fang, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, Wang Weiming, director of the propaganda department, and Li Ying, director of the office of the municipal party committee, and they also hurried over.

Two more fire trucks arrived to reinforce the scene.

An emergency detachment of more than 50 reserve forces, led by Yang Wenkang, the city's head of the armed forces, also appeared in front of the residential building.

Xu Haodong put on a wireless communication headset and loudly announced that he had taken over the command of the scene, and he ordered the emergency detachment of the reserve force to immediately enter the residential building to help evacuate the residents.

Yang Wenkang took the lead, divided the emergency team into three groups, and rushed into the residential building.

Xu Haodong beckoned Yan Fang and Li Ying to come over, "Deputy Secretary Yan, Director Li, you go to help Comrade Gao Haifeng, resettle the evacuated residents, and send the injured residents and those who are not in good health to the hospital for treatment in time." Deputy Secretary Yan, you are the first person responsible for the resettlement of the victims, and if there is not enough manpower, we will recruit volunteers from the scene in accordance with the provisions of the emergency measures. ”

Yan Fang and Li Ying didn't dare to slack off, and after answering, they trotted towards the nearby resettlement area.

Xu Haodong looked at his watch, and at 10:9 p.m., forty-three minutes had passed since the time of the fire.

There are four computers on the makeshift command platform, one computer monitoring the three evacuation openings and the evacuation area on the top floor, and so far 527 residents have been evacuated, and 242 others have not been evacuated.

Two other computers monitored the fire area, one from the periphery with three lenses, and the other connected to a camera carried by the firefighters. To Xu Haodong's comfort, the fire was basically under control and did not spread to the tenth floor, and the fire that burned to the twelfth floor was extinguished, but the fire had burned to the sixth household on the eleventh floor. Fortunately, the residents on the 10th, 11th and 12th floors, except for the family surnamed Feng, have all been evacuated safely.

Xu Haodong turned on the fourth computer and called up the information of the resident surnamed Feng's family. Feng Wanxing, the head of the household, is 72 years old, and his wife Yu Xiuhui, 69 years old, both of whom are laid-off workers of the former city machinery factory, were laid off 21 years ago, and have no children and no daughters. There is a nanny in the family, Xiao Meihong, 21 years old, from Xijiang Province, who has been employed by the Feng family for four years.

Reports from all parties kept coming, and Xu Haodong listened to it while giving orders, calmly.

There was a commotion behind him.

It was the same group of journalists, newspapers, television, and the Internet, who had gathered more than 60 people and were stopped from the quarantine zone.

Xu Haodong said to Wang Weiming, the propaganda minister next to him: "Lao Wang, remove the isolation belt, let them interview at will." As the temporary spokesman of the municipal party committee and government, you will first make the first public briefing, tell the truth, and do not conceal or fabricate anything. ”

Wang Weiming nodded and said: "I'll go immediately, half an hour ago, there was already a video of this fire on the Internet, and it was pointless to conceal it." ”

With that, Wang Weiming walked to the group of reporters dozens of meters away.

After a while, the group of reporters swarmed and surrounded the temporary headquarters.

In charge of maintaining order was Qi Kejun, deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, who faced a group of reporters and several special police officers as if they were facing a big enemy.

Xu Haodong patted Qi Kejun's shoulder, "Don't be nervous, allow them to stay one meter away from me, and don't ask if you look at Xu Pai." ”

The computer showed that at 10:29 p.m., one hour and three minutes had passed since the time of the fire; Seven hundred and thirty-six residents have been evacuated, and 33 others have not yet been evacuated or their whereabouts are unknown.

The fire was under control, the flames were extinguished, but the smoke was thick.

Xu Haodong ordered sharply, "I am Xu Haodong, and there are still thirty-three people who have not yet been evacuated or their whereabouts are unknown, I order the search and rescue teams to repeat the search, and never let go of a dead end, and at the same time, contact the community staff to check the real-time number of residents in the residential building......"
