At 8:40 p.m. on July 16, Lu Zhenguang, chief of staff of the Fushun City Public Security Fire Detachment, received an order from Li Bin, the head of the detachment, to ask him and the head of the logistics department to prepare reinforcements for vehicles, foam, soldiers and personal protective equipment in Dalian. After Lu Zhenguang and the head of the logistics department prepared the vehicle equipment, they inspected it again. He called his comrades-in-arms of the Dalian Fire Detachment, but no one answered. Lu Zhenguang's heart was heavy, knowing that this was not an ordinary fire. In the past ten years, the most terrifying fire in Liaoning was the fire at the Dalongyang oil depot in Shenyang, and the worst fire in the country was the Huangdao oil depot. The tragedy of these fires is very much unimaginable. Lu Zhenguang thought that the fire in Dalian might have surpassed that of Dalongyang and Huangdao, because the fire brigades of the whole province were all mobilized. Lu Zhenguang telephoned all squadrons, reported the names and positions of the officers and men of each combat vehicle on duty, and demanded that each vehicle must have cadres and select the best cadres and the best soldiers to reinforce Dalian. A good soldier - a soldier with good physical fitness, skills, and brains - is relatively safe on the fire field.

The Fushun City Fire Detachment dispatched a total of 10 vehicles, including 1 command vehicle and 1 logistics support vehicle, to arrive at Sanbaotun Station in the Fushun section of the Shenyang-Dalian Expressway in advance to assemble and wait. At 10:15, they received an order from the provincial fire brigade and immediately dispatched to Dalian.

At 5 o'clock in the morning of the 17th, the Fushun detachment arrived at the Dagushan fire site in Dalian. Li Bin, the leader of the detachment, led Lu Zhenguang to run to the general headquarters of the fire field to ask for combat tasks.

Their mission was to extinguish a newly ignited fire near a tank of high-risk chemicals. The fire burned on a pipe more than two meters above the ground, and a flickering fire dragon burned in the air. As the fire dragon burns, rivers of fire flow underground, pouring into tanks of high-risk chemicals. This kind of fire is not easy to fight, and it is useless to shoot flames far away; When you get closer, you can't stand under the fire, and the oil fire will flow into the neck of the person. The 900 mm diameter pipe is full of fire, and it is difficult to find the ignition point. The ignition point may be that the solder joint is welded, or the steel plate may be burned. The Xinfu squadron set up a foam gun, and the Li Shi squadron and the special service squadron each set up a foam gun, and the foam guns in the three positions cut the fire on the pipe like a knife, and finally found the fire point on a fracture. After two hours of cutting and plugging, the fire in the pipe was extinguished.

Then they surrounded the ground and flowed with fire. The terrain of this flowing fire is complex, and it is necessary to jump over the ground pipeline, and then rush under the elevated pipe, and the heat is scorching. Lu Zhenguang took out the walkie-talkie in his coat pocket, and a piece of paper fell to the ground and immediately turned into black charcoal ash. At that time, all the people could not bear the heat transmitted from the soles of the combat boots under their feet, so they had to hit their feet with foam guns to cool down. It is difficult to make a fire, and it is even more difficult to transport foam. They climbed over the pipes to carry the foam barrels, rushed through the burning overhead pipes and carried the foam barrels to the truck. Carrying a foam bucket is worse than operating a foam gun. The heavy foam barrels, the scorching radiation, and the sticky asphalt made them miserable. Without a melee attack, the elevated pipeline fire and the ground flow fire could not be extinguished at all. Close combat, on the other hand, is an ordeal for both officers and soldiers. After they had extinguished the fire, it became clear to them that they were only separated from Jar 103 by a wall. Tank 103 is like a decadent steel edifice blown by an airplane, belching black smoke upwards, the tank is covered with white foam, and the foam and water on the ground have become a hot lake, and the heat is fumigated.

More than 2 tons of foam were brought in, and they began to fight in close combat, pinching the fire until the fire on the high-altitude and ground pipes was extinguished.

Li Bin, the leader of the detachment, trotted to the general headquarters and reported to the chief that the set task had been completed and asked for instructions on the new task. Deputy Commander Li Jinhua ordered the Fushun detachment to set up positions in tank No. 103. Tank 103 was not far ahead, but the vehicle couldn't get through. They retreated the way they came, heading to tank 103. Set up a foam gun position at the southeast tear of the tank, and set up a foam cannon and a gun on the northeast wall, and attack all three positions at the same time.

At 8:20 a.m. on the 17th, the General Headquarters issued a general attack order, and all the firepower on the scene surrounded and annihilated the No. 103 tank fire. Near 10 o'clock, the temperature of the No. 103 tank fire dropped, and the open flame weakened and disappeared, leaving only black smoke.

Lu Zhenguang's biggest concern is not fire. In other words, he didn't care about being afraid of fire, he was worried about the recruits he had brought in. The recruits have never seen such a big fire, and if there is even a slight omission and failure to protect their personal safety, they will have to bear a huge responsibility. Chemical fire is not child's play, not only is it dangerous, it can be said to be a trap step by step.

At 5 a.m. on December 24, 2006, there was a leak at Fushun Tongyi Liquefied Gas Company, which is the largest liquefied gas company in the city. Lu Zhenguang was the deputy chief of staff of the detachment at that time, and when he and the participating team went to the scene, they saw that the valve of the liquefied gas storage tank was leaking.

The tank farm is built on the slope of a hill, with rice fields on the north side, and the bungalows of residents next to the rice fields. On the east side are the No. 1 Petroleum Plant, the No. 2 Petroleum Plant, the Cyanamide Vinyl Plant and residential buildings. There is a train track between the tank farm and the residential buildings of the factory. Lu Zhenguang looked at the scene and thought it was bad. If residents get up in the morning and make breakfast, it will inevitably cause a large-scale explosion. At that time, the rice paddies and the low-lying areas along the train tracks were covered with white liquefied gas. It's not just ordinary people who make stoves that cause explosions. Passing by a train, a little spark from the rails can also cause a big explosion. It's over, Lu Zhenguang thought, this time it's over. When the explosion occurred, not only the people's homes were destroyed, but also the chemical plants next to each other inevitably had chain explosions, so they could not be saved, and the entire Dongzhou District was completely finished.

At this time, the city's public security traffic police patrol police and special police all gathered here, evacuated residents door to door, strictly prohibited fires, and let the people enter the safe zone. The detachment commander ordered Lu Zhenguang to immediately formulate a plan to close the valve and plug the leakage. Lu Zhenguang and Jia Yuhe, instructor of the Wujiabao squadron, discussed together and formed a valve closing group.

Closing the valve was tantamount to death at the time. No one knows when the liquefied gas that has spread will explode. In this case, walking towards the center of the leakage, the average person's legs are weak, and they can't take a step.

Wang Junqing, squad leader of the special service squadron, Song Jiye, a soldier, Jia Yu, a skilled worker and instructor of the liquefied gas plant, and four people formed the valve closure team. Dressed in heavy chemical hazmat suits and carrying a water cannon, the four of them walked hand in hand to the liquefied gas storage area halfway up the hillside.

Lu Zhenguang sent the four of them to the protective embankment and watched them go inside. At this time, the public security officers were carrying a kettle, checking the stove from house to house, and forcibly extinguished the fire. When the five-person valve closing team, including Lu Zhenguang, walked in, the detachment leader really couldn't hold back, touched his face with both hands, and couldn't help crying. This is watching the five warriors sacrifice their lives to die.

Lu Zhenguang observed outside the protective embankment. The place wouldn't be safe in the event of an explosion, but he was here to pick it up. He saw four men walking hand in hand into the white mist. The white mist of liquefied gas flooded the legs of the four of them, covering their waists, and then they couldn't see people clearly, only Jia Yuhe's head, he was tall. In fact, such a dangerous task as closing the valve should not be taken with the worker, but the soldiers did not know which valve was leaking, nor did they know the position of the valve and the law of left and right rotation before they brought the worker. After the figure disappeared into the fog, tears rose to Lu Zhenguang's eyes, and he may never see them again, Wang Junqing is the first batch of non-commissioned officer trainees in the national firefighting. 5 minutes passed, 10 minutes passed. After 23 minutes, they appeared in the rice field, the valve was closed, and Wang Junqing and Song Jiye dragged the worker back. The worker was so frightened that his leg was paralyzed. The ground was frozen into ice by liquefied gas, and they dragged the workers back little by little.

Usually, when Lu Zhenguang thinks of that scene, he feels thrilled. However, compared with the oil tank fire in Dalian in front of him, the disaster of liquefied gas seems light. Right now, the sky and underfoot, in front of and behind, there was fire everywhere, and there was a sharp hissing sound in all directions, and I didn't know what was screaming, and it felt like a big explosion was about to happen. Such an unsettling hissing occurred only before the explosion, as if the valve had been burned, as if the pipe had been burned, as if 100 sirens were roaring at the same time. Can a recruit do it?

Lu Zhenguang was not at ease with the 30 recruits. He knew that these soldiers were post-90s who lived in the countryside. They had never done farm work and did not want to be restrained. Now so bitter, so tired, so dangerous, can they do it? Lu Zhenguang usually went to the company and asked the recruits to do hygiene, but some of them hid and did not work. Let the recruits train, they make excuses, saying that it is okay not to practice? On July 16, more than a dozen hours passed. Lu Zhenguang and the recruits fought side by side. He couldn't believe that the warriors in front of him were those recruits. engaged in sanitation and hiding, but no one hid at the scene. The training is tired, but no one shouts tired when pushing and moving a 200-kilogram foam bucket. I haven't slept for more than ten hours, and no one complains of sleepiness. The tank was red and rashed, and no one flinched. Lu Zhenguang looked at them, his nose was sour, and he wanted to cry. He thought, such a young child is still alive and well after such a big crime, who knows if they will be able to get out of the fire alive? Lu Zhenguang's tears flowed down and were immediately dried by the fire. The tears flowed down again, and as soon as they came out of their eye sockets, they were sucked dry by the heat radiation.

On the 7.16 fire, everyone became an iron man. Li Bin, the head of the Fushun City Public Security Fire Detachment, suffered from rhinitis. The fire consumes the oxygen in the air, and normal people are out of breath, let alone rhinitis patients. Li Bin ran out of rhinitis spray and gasped for breath, but he never took a step back. They cooled tank 103 in shifts 24 hours a day. The soldiers could sleep for a while by hanging their heads on the side of the road during shifts, and the cadres did not sleep for 5 days and 5 nights, and did not dare to sleep. It's not right to say that you don't sleep, sometimes, Lu Zhenguang suddenly stumbled while walking down the road, and only then did he know that he was asleep. Li Bin didn't dare to sleep, he couldn't wake up from his sleep, what should he do if the soldiers couldn't withdraw in the event of an explosion? On the night of the fifth day, Li Bin suddenly asked Lu Zhenguang: "Why is the water flow so small?" Lv Zhenguang replied: "The temperature is low at night, so form a natural cooling of the water tank, slow down the water flow, and save some fuel for the car." ”

After the victory of the battle, on the seventh and eighth days, the 20th day, and 50 days later, Lu Zhenguang doubted the authenticity of the July 16 fire when he thought of it. Is all this true? Have I ever been on fire? Can I last five days and five nights? Speaking of which, Lu Zhenguang himself didn't believe that this was true. But the heroism and tenacity of the warriors, the invincibility of the warriors, but it was really imprinted in his heart, and when he thought about it, they were in front of him, a few meters away from him, holding water guns and foam guns......
