Chapter 30 The inner walls of the oil tank are red everywhere
At 10:30 a.m. on July 18, detachment leader Lu Xiaoming ordered him to lead Shi Chuang, Weng Erqiang, and Sun Yuquan into the bottom of the No. 103 tank to attack and extinguish the fire.
Tank 103 is a storage tank with a reserve of 100,000 tons of crude oil, 80 meters in diameter and 22 meters high, which has been burning for nearly 30 hours. Due to the continuous explosion, the tank has collapsed and deformed, and the smoke in the tank is billowing out, and the situation is very complicated.
Liu Jie and the three attackers climbed up the oil-stained tank wall, and the whole person had to lie on the hot tank wall, using their hands and feet together. The walls of the tank collapsed, creating a slope. If you don't take a good step, your elbow or knee will hit the steel plate of the tank wall. The walls of the tank are stained with oil. If you can't stand on your feet, you will slip down.
When they reached the bottom of the tank, the inside of the tank walls and the collapsed steel plates were still glowing red, and the floating roof under their feet was swaying, which was frightening and a great test of human will.
Liu Jie commanded his comrades-in-arms to set up self-swinging artillery in the northwest position and attack the fire point. When the water from the water cannon hits the wall of the tank and the flame, it immediately turns into water vapor, and the temperature becomes even higher. Liu Jie saw that parts of the heat-insulating clothing and protective boots had been scorched.
The water that hit the flame and the oil in the tank mixed together, and a chemical reaction was immediately generated, and more than 10 explosions and deflagrations occurred in a row, followed by a strong vibration under the feet.
Extinguishing the fire in a 22-meter-high oil tank after an explosion and fire, only the officers and soldiers of the Liaoning Provincial Public Security Fire Brigade have had such an experience in the world today, and it is more terrible than the fight between man and beast in the arena in ancient Rome. If the tank explodes again, no one can escape. Even if it doesn't explode, the choking yellow smoke, the high temperature, and the "bang-bang" shaking floating roof inside the tank make everyone tremble to the depths of their souls.
Liu Jie has been in the army for 18 years and has participated in thousands of firefighting and rescue battles, but the battle in the tank of the 7.16 fire will never be forgotten. Before leaving, Liu Jie didn't have time to say goodbye to his wife and children. When he arrived at the fire scene, he found that the task undertaken by the Panjin City Public Security Fire Detachment was to extinguish the fire at the oil wharf, and he felt that a heavy burden was on his body, and he really regretted not saying goodbye to his wife and children. Next to the fire is a reserve of refined oil products. Refined oil is not the same as crude oil, a little spark will detonate, this position is really more terrifying than hell.
