Xie Lifeng is tall and handsome, born in 1978, and enlisted in the army after graduating from university in 2002. He is currently the instructor of the starting squadron of the Shenyang Public Security Fire Detachment, a native of Heilongjiang.

There were two faint marks on the outside of his eyes, and an inconspicuous scar on the bridge of his nose.

There are burn marks on the side of the eye, which ordinary people can't leave this kind of. On September 29, 2008, a fire broke out in the Shenyang 767 Loading Warehouse. A fire broke out in a stuffy roof building 6 meters wide and 30 meters long, and the fire broke through the exterior wall. Xie Lifeng and the other three erected a 6-meter ladder to break down the roof of the house to build a position for the water gun. The roof of the stuffy roof is a herringbone beam, and after the roof saw the wind, the "boom" burst into flames, and the air wave broke through the air, collapsing the three people from the 7-meter-high roof.

The three were crushed from a height of 7 meters, but one was hit by an air breathing apparatus in his back, and his spine was broken. When his comrades-in-arms ran to Xie Lifeng's side, he was lying flat on the ground, hula opened his eyes, except for the white eyeballs, his whole face was blacker than the bottom of the pot, and his hair and eyebrows were all burned. After cleaning at the hospital, the doctor found that Xie Lifeng was burned bald, leaving only the roots of his hair, and two burn marks on the outside of his eyes.

In 2004, Xie Lifeng extinguished the fire in a residential building and hit the roof fire with a water gun, and a piece of angle iron fell down and smashed his nose through. Xie Lifeng was afraid of a scar on his nose, so he didn't ask the doctor to stitch up the wound, and put two band-aids to heal on his own.

Xie Lifeng is not very old, but he has made remarkable achievements in firefighting and rescue work, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a tiger general, a strong general, and a fire killer. He was awarded second-class meritorious service four times, was rated as an advanced party member of the province and city five times, and was rated as an outstanding police officer of the detachment of the corps nine times. He was named one of the Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons in Shenyang in 2008.

On the evening of July 16, 2010, Xie Lifeng was on duty in the team. The alarm bell rang suddenly, and the detachment ordered the Qigong Squadron to dispatch 4 fire fighting vehicles and 24 officers and soldiers to assemble at the entrance of the North Liguan Expressway to reinforce the Dalian fire.

Xie Lifeng took the oil tank fire extinguishing equipment into the car, thinking that it would not be an easy battle to transfer Shenyang troops to reinforce Dalian. On the road, Xie Lifeng was always restless, he was not afraid of anything else, he was afraid of an accident with a fire truck. The fire control area of the Qigong Squadron is small, and the driver has never traveled such a long way. To tell the truth, the drivers of the fire brigade are trained every day, and they are in a state of high fatigue and are prone to tons. Their skills in driving long-distance buses and night trains are not as good as those of local drivers. This trip was not only a long journey, but also too fast. If it's not fast, it's not good, the superior leaders have been urging. Xie Lifeng's main battle fire truck weighs 20 tons, weighs 10 tons, and water is 10 tons, with a speed of 120 kilometers per hour. If the road encounters a bit of a situation, step on the brakes, and the water rushes forward, it will definitely overturn.

The driver of the main chariot was Zhang Peng, and his eyes were wide along the way, for fear that something would happen. Because the amount of training during the day is super strong (the Qigong squadron has been pursuing devilish training for decades), the physical energy is basically consumed, and if you doze off for a while, it will be over. Their convoys at first marched in formation. Later, the fire bubble was in an emergency, and the drivers of the 6 foam trucks of the detachment stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, as fast as they could, and whoever arrived first counted whom. Zhang Peng put the steering wheel with one hand and pinched his thigh with the other. A month later, the bruise on his thigh had not faded.

When I arrived at the exit of the Sanshilipu Expressway near Dalian, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. It was the second half of the night, and the ground was filled with thick smoke and white fog blown by the sea breeze, and the police lights flashed in the smoke. More than 100 fire trucks gathered here to be guided into the fire. The police lights turned the earth red.

Entering the scene, the fire has no end in sight. For the first time, Xie Lifeng saw a fire that could not be seen. Unbeknownst to him at the time, the ground, the sea, the air pipes and the walls of the house were burning violently, and the fire would definitely have no end in sight. Xie Lifeng didn't see the oil tank, and only saw the swarthy oil tank at dawn. He saw a piece of iron flying through the air. The dark sky couldn't tell that it was a tin sheet, only a red-hot lump that flew like a blanket. Xie Lifeng concluded that it was a piece of iron.

Xie Lifeng was different from others, he was not only afraid of seeing such a big fire, but excited. He himself couldn't tell what was going on, and when he saw the fire, he wanted to go up and pinch it to death, and he had a strong desire to conquer the fire demon.

The leaders of the Shenyang Public Security Fire Detachment went to the headquarters to ask for instructions. Li Wenxi, director of the Liaoning Provincial Public Security Department, Liu Leguo, deputy director of the Liaoning Provincial Public Security Department, and Wang Luzhi, chief of the Provincial Public Security Fire Brigade, were very pleased with the arrival of the Shenyang City Public Security Fire Detachment. ”

Here I want to talk about the start-up squadron. It is equivalent to the "hard-headed six companies" of the People's Liberation Army, and it is the trump card of trump cards; For more than 30 years, the red flag has not fallen, and it is a model squadron that dares to fight and win in the active fire brigade of the country.

The position of the Qigong squadron was to extinguish the fire in the valve group.

The valve group and the No. 37 oil tank and the No. 42 oil tank are in a triangular chair position, and the distance between them is more than 10 meters. At that time, the valve group was in flames. 100 meters away from tanks 37 and 42 is the sea and the wharf, and the fire in the factory area is spreading. There are a total of 12 100,000-ton crude oil tanks surrounding tanks No. 37 and No. 42. The wind direction blew from tank No. 103 to tank No. 37, and the flowing fire surged violently, and more than 20 meters away from tank No. 37 was a group of high-risk chemical tanks.

The valve group is equipped with 12 switch assemblies, and there is a 2-meter-high and 1-meter-wide protective embankment to prevent oil spillage between the valve group and tank 37. At present, the protective embankment is full of fires, if the fire cannot be suppressed, the fire cannot be suppressed, this piece of tanks, crude oil tanks, high-risk chemical tanks will all suffer.

The Qigong squadron took out two positions in the protective embankment, suppressed the fire with mobile foam cannons, and fought for more than 10 minutes, Xie Lifeng felt that the fire extinguishing effect was not obvious, and after asking the detachment leaders for approval, Xie Lifeng led three soldiers to drill under the valve group to extinguish the fire, which showed his rare courage and skills. The pipe burned out, cracking a large hole about 500 mm wide, and the steel plate of the pipe was 10 mm thick. Xie Lifeng and three comrades-in-arms went down to the valve group and found the source of the fire. There are a total of 7 crude oil leaks on the pipeline, that is, 7 fire spits. They set up 4 foam gun positions to extinguish fires at close range. The first leak is extinguished, then the second leak is hit, and at this time, the first leak is re-ignited. The heat radiation in the air is sufficient to ignite all crude oil in the exposed state. They turned around and hit the first leak point, one by one, reducing the burning area from more than 50 meters below the valve group to 10 meters. In more than 30 minutes, all the fires under the valve group were extinguished.

Extinguish the fire under the valve group, and if there is an explosion, no one can escape. Why did this rare courage and skill appear in the Qigong Squadron? The officers and men of the Qigong Squadron have a strong sense of collective honor, and they compare themselves to the tigers on the mountains and the dragons in the sea, and they are the heavenly soldiers and generals of the fire brigade. The Qigong squadron showed super willpower on the position, and all 10 officers and men on the position were attacking.

At the height of the battle, Xie Lifeng found an old man standing on the edge of the position, like a statue. Xie Lifeng didn't know this person, he wanted to drive him away, it was too unsafe here, an explosion could happen at any time, how could he stand here. After a while, Niu Jincong, the political commissar of the detachment, ran over and pulled the old man back, and Xie Lifeng ran forward to learn that he was Liu Jinguo, vice minister of public security.

At the most critical juncture of the battle, Liu Jinguo stood with the firefighters whose lives were hanging by a thread; although he did not carry a water gun and did not enter the position, he dared to press his life here and share life and death with the officers and soldiers. His position is a sincere heart, and he is willing to work for the safety of the motherland with a high sense of responsibility. During the long battle, Liu Jinguo always stood on the front line and gave great encouragement to the officers and men.

After seven or eight hours of hard fighting, the Shenyang detachment attacked the group and extinguished the fire in the area of the valve group, and at 11 o'clock at noon on the 17th, reinforcements arrived, and they withdrew from their positions and rested for a while.

Xie Lifeng often has a sense of pride on the fire. In 2006, a fire broke out in the Northeast Home Appliance Market, and Xie Lifeng broke in from the south gate and rushed to the second floor. He climbed and fought while holding a mobile cannon, advancing more than 40 meters. The fire inside the mall is the most haunting, it is full of smoke, and the fire point cannot be found. The glass wall of the stall on the second floor was burned and exploded, piercing Xie Lifeng's hands full of blood, and the gypsum board on the roof crackled and fell down, smashing into his body and causing pain. He eventually found the source of the ignition, which was a self-spraying paint can that exploded. In the battle, the hose couldn't be pulled, and as soon as Xie Lifeng exerted his strength, the hose faucet collapsed and smashed on his helmet, almost missing a face.

Xie Lifeng didn't go home for two months at most. In 2008, he couldn't spare time to go home. At the end of September, he was injured in the fire of Shenyang 767 Reservoir, and he recuperated in the team. Xie Lifeng's son was born on September 7, 2008, and he only met him on October 2. He was afraid that he would go home with burns on his face and scare his daughter-in-law, and his milk would be gone, so it would be difficult to do.
