Closing the valve and blocking the operation of oil is the key measure taken by the Dalian Public Security Fire Detachment in the battle to fight the July 16 fire. After the detachment leader Cong Shuyin gave this order, he hurriedly searched for a candidate to close the valve in his mind. Who's going to close it? The person who closes the valve is equivalent to throwing a pebble into the vast sea of fire, and it is possible to create miraculous feats, and it is even more likely that there will be no return. A commander is a commander, and no matter how emotionally attached he is, he must also pick out this suitable candidate. The first person that Cong Shuyin thought of was Sang Wu.

Sang Wu, born in 1977, enlisted in the army in 1996, a native of Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, is currently the instructor of the Second Special Service Squadron of the Dalian Public Security Fire Detachment.

This man is legendary.

In 1998, Sang Wu was the squad leader and carried oil drums out of the burning homes of residents. The oil drum burst into flames, ripping off the skin of his right hand.

In 2003, Sang Wu went to a company to put out fires. He went to close the electric knife switch on the wall, and an arc light came, so that for two months he always had a dazzling little sun in front of him, and he couldn't close his eyes when he slept at night.

In 2007, Sang Wu climbed a 60-meter tower to rescue a drunk man who was about to commit suicide, and the two landed safely under extremely dangerous circumstances.

In 2008, after the Wenchuan earthquake, the Dalian Public Security Fire Detachment rescued a total of 24 living people, and Sang Wu participated in the rescue of 16 people.

On the evening of July 16, 2010, in Sang Wu's recollection, he had just finished the 10,000-meter run with a weight of 8 kilograms during the day. Hearing the siren, the fighters were overjoyed and thought that they would be able to skip the training every night if they went out of the fire. Many of them were new recruits, and they felt that going out to the fire scene was very novel and exciting, so they happily changed into combat uniforms and combat boots and boarded the car, ready to go to the fire field.

Sang Wu heard the alarm bell ringing, and the electronic screen displayed the anti-virus and anti-chemical alarm, he didn't believe it in his heart, how could there be any poisonous gas and chemical disaster accidents, maybe it was a false alarm. But as soon as he got on the road, Sang Wu saw that the situation was wrong, the police car flashed its lights on the road, and the clouds on the horizon were not right, not like clouds, like a big curtain or something, it was not good. Forty-two officers and men of the No. 2 Special Service Squadron drove across the sea-crossing bridge and into the development zone, and Sang Wu found that the clouds were particularly dark and pressed against the sky. He had never seen such heavy clouds on the horizon. Sang Wu gave an order: "Recruits are not allowed to run around without veterans." As soon as he got out of the car, he called out over the walkie-talkie: "Sang Wu! Sangwu! Report to the detachment headquarters immediately! ”

At this time, Sang Wu had already seen the situation of the fire, and the fire burned the earth into a hearth. On a July evening, it shouldn't be dark at 6 p.m., but it's completely dark. The sky is covered by particle-shaped floats formed by the burning of crude oil. The huge oil tank stood with a black silhouette in the fire field of thousands of square meters, and only the No. 103 tank was bright, spewing orange fire from the body.

Sangwu ran to the headquarters. Cong Shuyin split his head and said: "Sang Wu, you lead the attack team into the fire field and close the valve,"

"Yes!" Sang Wuli replied, turned around and ran into the fire.

It's as simple as that, without the slightest red tape, without "the people of the motherland are looking forward to your return", if only in this kind of TV series, there is no "Where is the valve?" What's the matter? What are you doing when you close the valve"? This is a common thing that ordinary people will ask. Knowing that he was going to die, the soldier's answer was only one word: "Yes!" ”

Cong Shuyin later recalled that in the face of such a big fire, he could not be gentle and elegant, and the huge body of the god of death was waiting at the door, ready to pounce on the entire Dalian, how could he think about his mother-in-law. However, the moment Cong Shuyin turned around to leave, he really wanted to step forward and take his hand and look at each other. This is also the thought that flashed in Cong Shuyin's heart, and he felt that this was the secret of farewell. Farewell is goodbye, Cong Shuyin has already thought that this night may be his last night in the world, I don't know how many comrades-in-arms have never even experienced a farewell on this night, and they will never see each other.

On the way to the fire, Sang Wu remembered his daughter-in-law Liu Fang. Liu Fang suffered from mastitis, ** stiff nodules, and wanted to operate early, but Sang Wu was not available, so he was delayed. Liu Fang is still waiting for him to accompany him to the operation in the hospital bed.

For a moment, Sang Wu felt that he owed too much to his parents and wife, and he wanted to make up for it but had no chance. Back at the position, he handed over his mobile phone to Wang Yushuai and said, "If your sister-in-law calls, she will say that I am supplying water in the rear." "Ghost Sangwu, make up the lies first, so that your daughter-in-law can rest assured. Then, he ordered Qiu Yinghui, assistant to the squadron leader, and Lu Jie, the first squad leader: "You two follow me in." ”

They entered the center of the tank farm, and the oil depot workers said that the valves were on both tanks and needed to be closed at the same time. Sang Wu boarded the 3-meter-high escalator of tank 102 to close the valve. The heat insulating suit, air respirator and oil stain on his body combined to weigh more than 50 kilograms. It's so heavy that you can't even run away when the tank bursts. In fact, it's not a matter of running at all, the oil tank is fried, and the crude oil alone drowns and scalds people.

The valve was originally closed with electricity. The pumping station was blown up, the power supply system failed, and it had to be turned off by hand. Sang Wu and his comrades-in-arms closed it with their hands for four or five minutes, and felt that the valve was not moving. The worker said: The valve is 80 turns a buckle, and it takes several hours to close a valve.

The fire was just baking, and they stuck to the side of the oil tank that could explode at any moment and closed the valve. The company sent five or six workers to support, but they all withdrew.

Sang Wu, Qiu Yinghui, and Lu Jie, the three of them had been closing the valves from 8 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. the next day, and successfully closed the four valves on the No. 102 and No. 106 oil tanks.

At that time, there was crude oil flowing between all the tanks, and if the valves were not closed, the fire would burn back and burn into the interior of the other tanks. Each jar will become a ***.

They closed the valve for more than 8 hours, and they must have thought about their own life in the meantime. Sang Wu thought that he was gone, and his parents had two older brothers to take care of. It's just that Liu Fang became a widow at such a young age, but what should I do? She hasn't enjoyed any happiness since she married herself......

Thinking about it, Sang Wu, a tough guy like an iron tower, stood on the escalator of the oil tank more than 3 meters high, and unconsciously shed tears, he felt that Liu Fang was really pitiful.
