Chapter 49 I sat on the ground and fell asleep
Zhao Kai, chief of the police training section of the Dandong Public Security Fire Detachment, was born in 1975, participated in more than 3,000 firefighting and rescue battles, and was awarded 1 second-class merit and 6 third-class merits.
Zhao Kai received a call from Chief of Staff Fu Junling, saying that there were 5 foam cars, and he guessed that it was an oil fire. On the way, Han Junming, deputy head of the detachment, said that the oil tanks in the Dagushan oil reserve area were built on the hillside, and no matter which one exploded, the oil would flow down. In addition to crude oil, there are also liquid chemicals in the reservoir area, and everyone must be 100 times more vigilant when they go to the fire site, protect the safety of themselves and the soldiers, and rely on the overall strength to complete the task of extinguishing the fire.
They arrived at the Dalian fire scene at 2:25 a.m. on the 17th. Zhao Kai saw that the sky was red, and the vehicles on the road were all evenly coated with a layer of black oil, like spraying, I don't know how big the fire was, where the black oil everywhere came from, he knew that no matter what, this was a battle of life and death.
At the dock position, a firefighting tugboat and three fireboats of the harbor detachment were using foam to extinguish the fire flowing on the sea, but they were far away from the fire and the effect was not obvious. Li Hongqi, chief of staff of the provincial corps, and Zhang Chengxue, chief engineer, came over to set up positions. Li Hongqi had never seen such a fire, and the sea in front of him was a veritable sea of fire, the fire was dozens of meters high, and it was burning. The fire is big, the heat convection is formed, the air flows quickly, the wind is strong, and the fire rolls and rushes towards the shore, and the momentum is violent. Li Hongqi immediately ordered the Dandong detachment to set up positions on the shore to prevent fire from coming ashore. At this time, there was an explosion of the overhead pipeline, and the tugboat and the fire boat immediately retreated. The fighters look at the leadership, do they mean to withdraw or not to withdraw? The leader said that the explosion occurred 100 meters away, which is quite far away from us, but the shaking was large. The leader emphasized: "This is the xylene tank area, and now it is being attacked by the land flowing fire and the sea flowing fire, the Dandong detachment must hold on here, fight alone, and also be attacked at both ends, but we must persevere to the end, and we must not let the xylene deflagrate." ”
Zhao Kai, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the detachment, decisively ordered: "The special service squadron will send out 2 foam guns to control the fire at the sewage outlet; The squadron in front of the station and the Liudaogou squadron each sent a foam gun to intercept the fire on the north side of the xylene tank area, and the four guns were encircled to protect the xylene tank area. Zhao Kai and the soldiers put the gun together, the face was baked out of blisters, and the helmet was roasted and deformed, but he always insisted on fighting with the front-line soldiers for more than 5 hours to ensure the safety of the xylene tank farm.
During the battle, the water stopped and the fire hydrant in the plant was deactivated. Zhao Kai used a water separator to transport the water storage in the fire tugboat of the harbor detachment to the fire truck, so as to achieve continuous water supply, and the water did not stop for five or six hours on the position.
Zhao Kai found that the sea surface was bubbling, and asked the warrior to tie a safety rope and tie it to a fixed object. Without this measure, it is difficult to say that the fighters did not fall into the sea, when the smoke from the fire was too great.
When they hit the fire at the outfall, they couldn't put it out. Zhao Kai saw a two-story house above the sewage outlet, with four sets of valves inside, and fire erupted from the valves. He found that he could hit the foam on the valve, but the sewage outlet was only oil and water, and there was no fire. He told the soldier to hold the water cannon upside down, turn his back to the fire, and hit the foam on the valve, extinguishing the oil fire coming out of the sewage outlet in one fell swoop. There is oil at sea, and as soon as the sewage outlet catches fire, the oil burns at sea, and it cannot be extinguished. In this way, the water cannon can be directly hit on the flowing fire on the surface of the sea, and the sea fire is completely extinguished.
Front's 2000 high-efficiency extinguishing agent is an American technology that cools down quickly and reduces tension on the water surface. This foam liquid is sprayed on the wall like glue, and it is particularly strong in insulating air. The normal protein foam liquid is 3,000 yuan a ton, and the Farande 2000 high-efficiency foam liquid is 150,000 yuan a ton, but it is particularly durable. The ratio of ordinary foam to water is 6:94, and the ratio of Farandt 2000 is 3:1000, and the effect is remarkable. This product made a great contribution in the operation of the Dandong detachment.
After Zhao Kai led the soldiers to extinguish the fire in the reservoir area and the fire at the sewage outlet, he supplied water to the friendly detachment and did not rest for more than 20 hours. He took a hose under his buttocks (the ground was full of oil and water) and tried to rest for a while, and he fell asleep at once.
