As I watched the firefighters cut down the trees and clear the vegetation in the flower beds, I knew they were going to install a life-saving air mattress downstairs. Because the life-saving air cushion needs a level ground, the firefighters are opening up an open space in the flower bed.

However, the effective operating height of the air cushion is less than 10 meters, that is, the height below the 4th floor of an ordinary house. And this house, according to my observation, is obviously not an ordinary house, but a duplex building. Therefore, on the sixth floor of the top floor, it has reached a height of about 25, and it is also very dangerous to jump from this height onto the life-saving air mattress. And I found that just below the burning residential building, there were several large trees that had been formed, and these large trees occupied the best landing spots, making the people jumping from the sixth floor more dangerous.

At this time, Lao Lu also came to the scene of the fire, and he immediately found the instructor of the fire brigade and asked, "Is the trapped person in the house in danger?" ”

The instructor said: "The command center is negotiating with the trapped person to evacuate the fire scene as soon as possible, but the thick smoke inside blocked the trapped person, and he is now hiding in his bedroom." ”

Hearing this, I hurriedly said to the instructor: "Comrade instructor, the trapped person is a witness in an important case, we must ensure his safety, if you can trust me, please let me negotiate with the trapped person and help him escape from the fire." ”

The instructor looked at me, and it was clear from his expression that he was suspicious of me. He said, "Are you sure you can guide out the trapped people?" ”

I nodded affirmatively.

The instructor looked at Lao Lu again, and Lao Lu said, "I believe in him." ”

"Okay, the negotiation with the trapped person will be handed over to you, I will organize the team to rescue the trapped person as soon as possible, you have to ensure the location of the trapped person, and guide him to save himself on the spot." The instructor said to me solemnly.

I finally connected to Zhou Zhijun's phone, and on the phone, Zhou Zhijun began to cough violently.

I said, "Are you in the bedroom?" ”

Zhou Zhijun said: "Ahem, ahem...... Yes, it's such a big smoke, I can't stand it. ”

"Woohoo!" At the same time I heard the barking of a dog in the earpiece.

I said, "Don't be afraid, squat down first, the smoke and harmful dust from the burning are scattered upward, the higher above the ground, the higher its concentration, you try to lower your body to avoid the toxic gases." Hurry up and crouch down. Also, what is the current state of the dog next to you? ”

"Ahem, ahem...... I crouched down. I don't feel as choking as I used to, but my head is getting dizzy. How do you know I have a dog next to me? ”

"I heard the dog bark, how is it now?"

"The one crouching next to me was shaking, probably frightened."

I thought about it for a while, the dog's sense of smell is very sensitive, and now the dog has not appeared in a big way, it seems that the concentration of harmful gases in the bedroom is not too high, and Zhou Zhijun should be able to hold on for a while. However, time is pressing, the flames and smoke will get bigger and bigger, and Zhou Zhijun does not have much time.

I said, "Do you have a bathroom in your bedroom?" ”

"Yes."

"When you enter the bathroom, take a handkerchief and cover your mouth and nose to reduce the inhalation of harmful gases"

"Ahem, ahem...... Good! ”

Then I heard the sound of the soo coming from the earpiece, apparently Zhou Zhijun squatting and wiping the ground, and then heard the sound of rushing water.

"Ahem, ahem...... I covered my mouth and nose. Zhou Zhijun said in a weak voice. It seems that his actions have consumed a lot of his physical strength.

At this time, I saw that the firefighters were cutting the door downstairs with a cutter, and a young security guard next to the gate was shivering, while a middle-aged security guard with a beer belly was loudly reprimanding him. Listening to his reprimand, the young security guard couldn't find the key to the public gate downstairs of the residential building because of a moment of nervousness.

I took a look at the door, and it was an electronic lock, and I could open it by calling any of the residents in the building. However, it was around 4 a.m., and the occupants were still asleep. In addition, due to the fire, the power supply of the entire building has been cut off, and the communication facilities on this door have long been useless.

However, the public gate was not secure, and it didn't take a minute for the gate to be cut. Firefighters dragged a long fire hose and rushed into the building.

I continued to say to Zhou Zhijun: "You close the door of the bathroom, open the windows in the bathroom, find a towel that can be used in the bathroom, and seal the door of the bathroom after dipping it in water. ”

Zhou Zhijun said in a fragile voice: "Okay, cough, cough, cough......"

His voice was getting weaker and weaker, and I knew that he was starting to blur his consciousness now because he had inhaled a lot of toxic gases. It's just the instinct to survive that sustains him.

I can imagine him helplessly hiding in the small bathroom, which was filled with toxic gases, and his heart must have been full of fear and despair, and if it wasn't for my call, he might have given up his desire to live.

I have to be consistent in dialogue with him to encourage him and give him the courage to survive.

I said, "What kind of dog do you have?" ”

He said, "Ahem, ahem...... Scottish Shepherd. ”

I laughed and said, "Is it the kind of dog in the TV series "Lacey the Greyhound"?" ”

He also smiled: "Hehe, cough cough...... Yes, you know this TV series. ”

I said, "Yes." What's your dog's name? ”

"Cool."

"How's Kuku doing now?"

"It's not too good, lying on my side."

I know that the concentration of harmful gases in the bathroom is getting higher and higher, and the dog has become extremely uncomfortable.

At this time, I had come to the sixth floor with the firefighters, and the cutter was frantically cutting the security door.

I said into the phone, "We're at your door, and in less than a minute, we'll be able to break through and get you out." ”

"Ahem, ahem...... Hurry up, I just can't stand it, I'm so dizzy, I can't see clearly. ”

"Don't worry, because the fire caused the power outage and the smoke, it affects your vision, it's not that your eyes are blurry. You must hold on to the water-soaked towel and do not leave your mouth and nose. Although I said this, I still knew in my heart that Zhou Zhijun was about to reach his limit. If he fainted, he would have died without a towel to keep the harmful gases out.

But at this critical moment, the cutter has been cutting in front of the security door for more than two minutes. Ordinary doors can be broken open without a minute. What's going on?

The cutter made a screeching noise when cutting the steel plates, and the golden iron filings flew in one direction in an orderly manner. I and a group of firefighters looked anxiously at the security door that was still not moving.

It turns out that this door is a high-end anti-theft door with a deadbolt on three sides, and the bolt is widely distributed, and almost the entire door must be cut open in order to really break in.

Unexpectedly, this impeccable high-end anti-theft door against thieves actually became an obstacle to Zhou Zhijun's life and death.

"You're lying on the ground now, keeping your mouth and nose as low as possible." I said into my phone.

"Ahem, ahem...... Good. I won't be able to hold on to how long you guys have to come in. His voice began to grow hoarse.

Before I could answer, I heard a "bang" and then the sound of glass hitting the ground.

A frightened voice immediately came from the phone: "I heard an explosion, it must have been a fire on the side of the gas stove." My living room and kitchen are European-style design, there is no partition in the middle, and they are completely connected. I can't escape, I can't escape, cough cough cough ......"

Listening to Zhou Zhijun's words, I was stunned. Fear, poison gas, and darkness had destroyed his will.

I hurriedly said loudly: "You can't despair, the explosion just now is just the sound of a glass bottle or wine bottle in your house bursting due to high temperature, not a gas pipe explosion." As soon as the fire broke out, the building's power and gas were cut off. Do you think your house will have a big explosion like in the movies? This kind of blockbuster scene is still waiting for you to go to the cinema to watch it later. You have to cheer up, there are more than a dozen firefighters waiting outside your door to rescue you, if you give up on yourself, are you worthy of them? Cheer up and don't despair. You have to believe that after you have experienced this karmic fire, you will be reborn in Nirvana......"

Anyway, I was yelling at my phone in a heartbreaking, hoarse voice, and even the noise of the cutter didn't seem to drown out my nonsense.

However, these nonsense seemed to have an effect, and Zhou Zhijun's somewhat firm voice came from the phone: "Okay, I understand, I will insist...... Ahem, ahem. ”

I saw the instructor rushing up from downstairs, because he had just gone downstairs to learn about the structure of Zhou Zhijun's house, and the structure of this kind of real estate was almost the same. Only by accurately understanding the structure of the room and rushing to the direction of the trapped person at the first time can the success of the rescue be guaranteed. Reducing the rescue time and reducing the stay time of firefighters in the fire can also protect the injuries suffered by firefighters in the fire as much as possible.

The instructor said to me, "Where are the trapped people?" ”

I said into the phone, "Where is your bedroom?" ”

Zhou Zhijun's faint voice came: "The bedroom on the left hand side of the second floor." ”

I hurriedly said to the instructor: "In the bedroom bathroom on the left hand side of the second floor." ”

The instructor looked at me with resolute eyes and nodded.

"Hey!" The team member holding the cutter roared and kicked the heavy security door open, and the firefighters rushed into the fire in an orderly and extremely swift manner.

I excitedly and excitedly said into my phone, "They're in." ”

At this time, the call on the mobile phone was cut off, and there was a boring, monotonous and boring beep in the mobile phone, and finally the beep disappeared completely.

I anxiously looked through the cut door, but saw nothing but the faint light of the fire and the black smoke seen through the fireman's headlamp.
