Chapter Seventy-One: Crawling Out of the Tank at the End
Han Chunming is the assistant to the captain of the Haizhou Squadron of the Fuxin City Public Security Fire Detachment and a sergeant of the armed police. He has been awarded the third-class meritorious service 3 times, the outstanding soldier of the Provincial Fire Brigade 7 times, and was named the top ten outstanding young guards of Fuxin City in 2007.
At the fire site, Han Chunming and his comrades-in-arms supplied water to the foam truck at Taoxian Airport, and fought continuously for more than 3 hours, supplying more than 200 tons of water.
At night, it was raining lightly, and they couldn't stand it, so they squinted in the open air for a while. The building was burned to the ground, and no one dared to go in and sleep. The task of Han Chunming and his comrades-in-arms was to monitor the cooling pipeline, and no one could sleep for a long time, so they just took a nap by relying on the mound of dirt, got up and continued to cool the oil pipeline. They persisted until noon on the 18th, and a unit sent watermelons, Han Chunming was broken, and just stepped forward to move, and received an order to form a siege team to enter No. 103, and the inside of the tank was attacked, and the watermelons were not eaten.
Han Chunming was assigned to the first attack group, with 12 hoses and 1 foam gun, and under the leadership of Liu Hong, chief of staff of the detachment, he entered the burning No. 103 tank to storm and extinguish the fire. When you reach the bottom of the can, smoke bills from inside and a heat wave hits. Though people are dressed in insulated clothing, they are still roasted to the point where they can bear it. The smoke blocked the view and the point of fire could not be found. If foam gun positions are not erected in time, people are in danger of suffocating in the heat and smoke. Foam cools down and dilutes toxic gases.
It only took two minutes for Han Chunming to complete the setting of the foam gun position on the northeast side of the tank, and then began to extinguish the fire. The steel plate under his feet was so hot that Han Chunming stomped his feet, and the bottom of the tank shook from time to time, not knowing when the explosion would occur. He fought on the front line until he received the order to retreat. When the other officers and soldiers retreated, two re-ignitions suddenly occurred in the tank, and everyone was at a loss for a while. Han Chunming and his comrade-in-arms Wang Peng rushed to the fire point with foam guns. At this time, Han Chunming stepped on a protruding nail under his feet. The nails pierced through the thick combat boots into the center of his foot, and Han Chunming fell down the ladder in pain, but despite this, he continued to move forward despite the pain, pointed the foam gun at the fire point to extinguish it, and covered all his comrades to retreat before finally climbing out of the tank.
Han Chunming's bravery and tenacity were not practiced in a day, and his three third-class skills all contained unusual experiences.
In 2002, the lighter inflator of the shop on the first floor of the Garden Wholesale Market in Fuxin City caught fire, detonating a bunch of lighters, and the shell collapsed all over the sky, and the fire burned to the second floor. If it is not blocked, the roof of the shed will soon collapse, and all the people will suffocate to death. If the roof of the shed was couched at that time, Han Chunming would not have been able to come out.
In 2005, a fire broke out on the 7th floor of a residential complex, and the trapped person, a girl in her 20s, was lying on the windowsill and calling for help. Firefighters used a 20-meter ladder truck to rescue people. But the ladder can only go to the 6th floor, and Han Chunming flew up to the 7th floor with a hook ladder from the ladder. By this time, the girl was unconscious. Han Chunming put on an air breathing apparatus for her, and then tied a safety rope to the girl, and went to the ground safely, saving the girl's life.
In 2006, a shed collapsed, leaving more than 50 workers working on prefabricated cement panels. Han Chunming joined the search and rescue team, got under the prefabricated slab, and picked it with his hands for 3 hours, rescuing more than a dozen wounded.
In the current fire scene, Han Chunming worked from more than 3 o'clock in the morning to 11 o'clock in the evening, and never stopped. At this time, his old mother called from his hometown in Shandong and said, "People say that Dalian is on fire, have you gone?" ”
Han Chunming said: "Our work in Fuxin is very busy, and we don't have time to go to Dalian. ”
The old mother said, "That's good, I'm relieved." ”
