July 17 was the second day of the Huludao City Public Security Fire Detachment Deputy Captain Liu Yao's vacation, he received a call from the detachment leader Zhao Qiancheng, immediately returned to the detachment, and the reinforcements embarked on the journey to Dalian.

When he arrived at the fire, Liu Yao felt that this was the biggest fire he had seen since he became a soldier, and even since he was a child. Not only the smoke obscured the sky, but even the flames obscured the sky. Ordinary people must think that this is not a fire that can be saved, and they have already run away, but the firefighters have to rush into the fire.

Liu Weichen, deputy political commissar of the provincial corps, ordered the Huludao detachment to march along the long-distance water supply pipeline to the depth of the fire site, and insert it until the south side of tank No. 103 to set up a position to extinguish the pipeline fire. When they went to the place, they saw that the 700-millimeter and 900-millimeter oil pipelines had burst into flames, and the flames were more than 10 meters high. At this time, Liu Leguo, deputy director of the Liaoning Provincial Public Security Department, who was covered with smoke and dust, came to the position, patted Zhao Qiancheng on the shoulder and said: "Where to do, where to rush, the time has come to make contributions!" ”

The pipes are still exploding, and the water from the water cannon is gone, to no avail. They adjusted their tactics and used 10 trucks of on-board guns, mobile guns and 3 foam guns to forcefully suppress the pipeline fire, which took three hours to contain.

Smoke rose from the ground under the bridge, and no fire was visible. Underground is definitely an oil pipeline, burning underground. They cooled down the ground for more than two hours and took control of the position.

After that, the Huludao detachment moved to the bottom of tank No. 103, established the main battlefield, and cooled tank No. 103 for 2 days and 2 nights. They put two or two foam guns on the sprinkler system inside Tank 103 to cool it. At about 4 o'clock in the morning of the 18th, the soldiers with foam guns were very sleepy, and they fought a ton with foam guns. At this time, Li Jinhua, deputy chief of the provincial fire brigade, happened to come over, and saw that the wall of the tank was a little red, Li Jinhua was furious and said: "How did you fix it," In fact, the water in the rear stopped. The fire field is like this, and we dare not slack off every second.

Bao Yan, squad leader of the high-tech squadron of the Huludao City Public Security Fire Detachment, almost jumped up with joy after receiving the news of going to Dalian for reinforcements. He was born in 1989, enlisted in the army in 2006, and was a non-commissioned officer in the first period, and all he thought about was meritorious service. He thought, if the fire is big, there must be a lot of merit, as long as he performs well, he can also make a merit when he comes back.

Bao Yan is earnest for meritorious service, and even more earnest for fighting, which can be called heroic and fearless. He was first sent to the vicinity of Tank 103 to extinguish the remnants, and the scene was a mess, the porcelain floor tiles were shattered by stepping on it, and they were baked by the heat radiation, and the scorching oil vapor made it impossible to breathe. Bao Yan and his comrades-in-arms rushed up again and again with water guns in hand, were repulsed again and again, and then rushed up again, constantly entangled with the fire demon. After 40 minutes of tug-of-war, they brought the fire under control. Immediately afterwards, Bao Yan was ordered to cool the No. 103 tank, and he stood for more than 5 hours, and his legs were so swollen that he couldn't take off his boots at night. After the battle, Bao Yan was awarded a second-class meritorious service.

Li Xuyang is the squad leader of the Longgang No. 2 Squadron of the Huludao City Public Security Fire Detachment. After dinner on July 16, Li Xuyang took his mobile phone to surf the Internet and learned the news of the explosion and fire of the oil tank in Dalian. Immediately afterwards, the comrades-in-arms in Dalian called and said that the fire bubble was not enough, and asked Li Xuyang to prepare for reinforcements.

At about 23 o'clock in the night, the officers and men of the squadron were called up by the leader to prepare equipment for reinforcements in Dalian. They went downstairs to sort out their equipment, hoses, oil and water, and when they were ready, they couldn't sleep when they went upstairs. Li Xuyang lay on the bed and waited for the bell to ring.

At around 3:20 a.m., the electric bell rang three times in a row - it was an order for an emergency assembly. Li Xuyang got out of the car quickly, and the squadron leader Zou Chengyu and two drivers got on the squadron's 18-meter-high spray truck to help Dalian, loaded with 16 tons of water and 4 tons of foam.

The car ran for seven and a half hours, and when he approached Dalian, Li Xuyang found that the clouds over Dagu Mountain were different from other places. It was not the traffic police who directed the traffic on the roadside, but the "migrant workers". If you look closely, the white police uniforms and white motorcycles of the traffic police are all polluted by oil and turn black, which looks the same as migrant workers from a distance.

These "migrant workers" led the way into the fire. Li Xuyang saw the No. 103 canister jumping out of the fireball, and the smoke went straight into the sky, which was very long. The 18-meter-high spray truck couldn't get in, and the road was blocked by all kinds of fire fighting vehicles, and Li Xuyang was anxious. Later, the road was dredged, and the detachment let the high-tech squadron enter the position, but did not let the 18-meter-high spray truck enter. The reason why Li Xuyang is anxious is that he can't let the high-jet car exert its power, what is waiting here?

Looking around, the manhole covers at the site are gone, the trees have no leaves, only the branches remain, the doors and glass of the buildings are gone, and the tree walls are black. It was 11 a.m., and there were firefighters sleeping on the oily lawn, their boots off, and their feet covered in blood.

The command ordered the Huludao detachment's 18-meter-high spraying truck to lay water pipes and supply water to the Dalian detachment. Li Xuyang got out of the car and stomped his feet, and saw that the stones under his feet had turned into powder, all of which were overheated and crispy. He thought that Huludao's largest oil tank storage was 10,000 tons, which was big enough. The oil tank here is 100,000 tons, which is unimaginable. Li Xuyang was surprised, how much oil does it take to spread over the protective embankment more than one person high and burn here? Thrilling!

Next, they injected foam into the automatic sprinkler system of tank 103, and the water supply of the tank was deformed. Li Xuyang used a toothless saw to cut the water supply and re-tied it with wire. The work was done in extremely difficult conditions, with scorching heat and protection against oncoming fireballs. It is also not easy to lay the hose, the hose is stuck on the asphalt and cannot be dragged. They almost carried the hose on their backs.

At about 6 o'clock in the evening, the sky was raining, and the clothes became particularly heavy. At this time, Li Xuyang and his comrades-in-arms transported foam barrels, and they couldn't describe the difficulties at that time with exhaustion, but they all completed the task, and the high-power foam truck did not lack foam liquid for a minute or a second.

What made Li Xuyang feel miserable was not the delivery of foam barrels, but sleeping at night. There was no place to sleep in the car, and his 1.8-meter big man slept in a 1.2-meter equipment box, and he couldn't stand it, so he had to get up and walk around and deliver mineral water and sausages to his comrades-in-arms. In the second half of the night, the heat from the ground still roasted the face. When a person stands, he can feel the roasted face on the ground.

When Li Xuyang was carrying the foam, a piece of iron sheet fell from the No. 103 tank and fell into the oil pool under his feet. The oil in the oil pool was thousands of degrees, and the hot oil splashed by the iron sheet hit Li Xuyang's face, everyone was frightened, thinking that his face must be burned this time, and the detachment leader Zhao Qiancheng and the deputy detachment leader Liu Yao hurriedly ran to help him dispose of it. Zhao Qiancheng asked him to wash his face with foam immediately. It's also strange to say that Li Xuyang's face was red on the first day, and he was fine on the second day. At that time, he only felt that his heart was painful, but fortunately there was no scar.

When the Huludao detachment evacuated the fire, Liu Yao, the deputy detachment leader, was relieved and had feelings that were difficult to leave. He himself couldn't explain why he couldn't leave this fire, he was going to throw his life here, but he picked it up, so it was difficult to give up.
