Ge Zhenchang is a native of Linyi City, Shandong Province, born in 1984. The "long" in his name is the long of growth, the long of the mayor. But now he is not a long, he is the driver of the Mercedes-Benz foam car in the front squadron of the Yingkou City Public Security Fire Detachment, and a non-commissioned officer of the second phase.

In the Yingkou detachment, when it came to the 7.16 firefighting battle, many people were full of praise for Ge Zhenchang, from the detachment commander to the soldiers, they all admired Ge Zhenchang's tenacity, bravery, and perseverance.

When the team assembled, Ge Zhenchang was taking a bath, the alarm suddenly sounded, and someone in the corridor shouted: "Reinforcement Dalian!" He drove a Mercedes Benz on the road at a rapid pace, carrying 12 tons of water and 5 tons of foam.

Ge Zhenchang said that when he entered the fire, he parked the car next to the No. 37 can, turned over the front of the car, and came out of foam, and 390 tons of foam came out in a row.

He was overly simplistic. The fire was full of potholes, the flames were soaring, and the explosions came and went, and Ge Zhenchang didn't say a word. When the Yingkou detachment arrived, the iron sheet of the insulation layer of the No. 37 tank had been burned, which meant that the 100,000-ton crude oil tank was about to explode.

In fact, the driver of the fire fighting vehicle at the fire scene worked very hard, and the heat radiation penetrated through the window, burning the face of the person, and he couldn't stand it with his arms. There is no place to hide, let alone insist on operating for more than 10 hours? Ge Zhenchang's Mercedes-Benz is the main combat vehicle of the Yingkou detachment, and it has never stopped for a moment when the water and foam come out, and if the driver is not a strong man, no one can stand it.

Q: What else has Ge Zhenchang done? He replied: "First get on the car to mix the ratio of water and foam, and get off the car to operate the manual valve to produce foam." Connect the hose mouth. Moving ladders, moving 209 kilograms of foam buckets to the roof of the car, that's it. ”

Q: "How long have you been working in one go?" ”

Ge Zhenchang replied: "There may be twelve or thirteen hours. ”

"Didn't take a break?"

"No rest, no one rests, no rest."

A 209-kilogram foam bucket rolling over on the burnt asphalt road will be exhausted, difficult and painful, no matter how good the physical strength is. Ge Zhenchang thinks this is his duty.

During the battle, the electronic valve on the car collapsed, and without it, there would be no foam. If there is no bubble, all the officers and soldiers will have to die in the fire. This part cannot be attached by hand, and it will collapse as soon as you let go. This part is in the equipment box, people can't get in, Ge Zhenchang took off the heat insulation suit, bare-chested, half of his body leaned into the equipment box, lying on the pump of the engine and pressing the valve with his hand, and pressed it for more than an hour. It was only after dawn that the parts were found and installed.

If a person does not wear a heat-insulated combat suit, the high temperature of nearly 1,000 degrees in the fire field will not be able to stand it at all, and it will be even more unbearable to lie on the hot engine with bare shoulders. But Ge Zhenchang could stand it, and he silently thought in his heart: as long as he didn't roast to death and didn't collapse, he would keep pressing the gas valve with his hand to ensure a steady supply of foam.

When the big explosion occurred, the air wave tossed everyone to the ground like chopping crops, but Ge Zhenchang's hand still didn't leave the valve. This hand is the life of a comrade-in-arms on the front line.

In the interview, there were many non-commissioned officers and soldiers like Ge Zhenchang who had outstanding achievements but were silent. They held up the sky of the victory of the July 16 battle like silent statues, but they did not show their exploits. Some people say that they are not good at talking, but this is not accurate. They speak fluently in private, but their status as non-commissioned officers and soldiers does not allow them to say much, and they consciously act as silent people. The front-line combatants represented by Ge Zhenchang made immortal contributions to the July 16 firefighting campaign, which created the first case in the history of firefighting in the world.
