Chapter Eighty-Five: The Fire
To extinguish a fire, it needs combustibles and oxygen to reach the ignition point, and to extinguish the fire, it is necessary to start from these three aspects.
The heat and heat of the weather can easily cause forest fires, and the slightest appearance of sparks can cause incalculable consequences. Empty bottles that were not drunk, cigarette butts that were not extinguished, and even fires that were completely extinguished, were the source of the fires.
Xiao Jin is a forest firefighter, and in addition to routinely checking the fire truck, he takes his dog for a walk in the forest every day.
Stupid? Stupid? Come here, get in the car!
Kim sat in the passenger seat of the patrol car, looking for the pet dog that was running from afar. Ben Ben is an Alaskan dog with a noble bloodline, usually likes to play hippie, and is notoriously mischievous in the fire station. If someone finds that their boots are missing, just ask Xiao Jin directly.
You're going out on patrol with your stupidity again today?
It was Xiao Wei who was in charge of driving, and he looked back at the stupidity who ran into the car with a smile.
Yes, when I got up this morning, when I was dressed, it looked at me, and always thought that I would leave it alone, and whined, and I couldn't bear it, so I brought it over.
Xiao Jin is also helpless, stupid and cute and innocent looks too lethal to stand it.
Two men with a dog sat in a patrol car and drove into the woods in the distance. On the horizon, there was a gray smoke rising into the sky from the woods.
Well? Do you smell it?
Jin suddenly smelled the smell of burning branches in the air.
What the?
Xiao Wei stopped the car and looked at Xiao Jin.
You sniff it.
Sure enough, Xiao Wei also smelled it.
Not good, there is a place on fire!
Xiao Wei exclaimed, and quickly started the patrol car and rushed to the place where the fire occurred following the smell. This is where stupidity comes in handy. Jin shouted, and Clumsy jumped out of the patrol car, ran ahead, and used his sensitive nose to find the location of the fire. As we got closer to the place where the fire had started, the smell became stronger and stronger, and white smoke could be seen coming out of the woods in the distance.
You go to the fire center, I'll put out the fire first!
Before the patrol car could stop, Kim jumped out of the car, took out two fire extinguishers and a shovel from the back of the car, and ran towards the fire in front.
Ben Ben yelled at the fire next to him, and Xiao Jin asked Ben Ben to lean back, he used a fire extinguisher to extinguish the small ones on the edge of the fire first, and then used a shovel to remove the dead grass, and cut down all the small trees around him, and those that could not be cut off were cut down the branches and leaves first. After working for a while, Jin managed to stop the fire from spreading. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he sat on the side, ran over from a distance and shouted at Xiao Jin a few times.
What's wrong stupid?
Xiao Jin dragged the clumsy over and stroked his hair vigorously. Clumsy broke free of Xiao Jin's hand, ran a few steps to the side, and turned back to Xiao Jin and shouted. Xiao Jin felt that something was wrong, so he stood up and followed. Clumsy ran in front, and Kim followed behind. After a while, we came to a place where the fire was even bigger.
There were two large trees that burned so badly that they crackled loudly. These two trees, which once had vigorous vitality, were buried in the flames. Xiao Jin, who only has a shovel in his hand, can't do anything, and the whole big tree has burned to the top, even if he can put out the fire, it is estimated that he will not survive.
At this moment, the fire engine finally came, not one, but all the people went out, and five of them came. The five fire trucks spread out and marched in a row. Except for the driver and a firefighter in the car, everyone got out of the car and used a shovel to extinguish some small fires, and by the way, hoeed the places that the fire trucks couldn't reach.
Dozens of people marched in unison, and the fire was quickly brought under control. After the last flame was extinguished by a shovel, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Jin and Xiao Wei were praised by their superiors for discovering the fire in time and reporting it to the fire center, and each was rewarded with 5,000 yuan.
Less than a week later, another fire broke out. This time, the two did not find out, and no one had an accident, because it happened at night. It was the middle of the night, everyone was asleep, and only a few people were still staying up late. Xiao Jin was already preparing to go to sleep, when suddenly a phone call came, and he was called, saying that he was asked to hurry to the fire center to gather. Xiao Jin, who was still on vacation, had to leave home and drive to the fire center with his clumsy car.
Before Xiao Jin arrived at the fire center, he saw that several fire trucks had already driven away. Xiao Wei saw him coming, and hurriedly ran over and pulled him to change clothes.
Slow down, what's the hurry?
Xiao Jin was almost dragged on his head, and Xiao Wei quickly let go of his hand.
What are you rubbing about? Hurry up! We're the latest. Everyone else is already on their way!
Alas, I didn't come from home! Besides, there was a traffic jam on the road.
Xiao Wei looked at Xiao Jin and didn't continue to say anything, but directly drove the fire truck out and opened the door.
Come up, hurry! Hurry up for you!
It's coming, it's really, it's in a hurry, what's the matter, your house is on fire?
Xiao Jin's clothes were still buttoned, and he was pulled into the car by Xiao Wei.
There's no time to explain, get in the car!
Oh.
Seeing Xiao Wei's serious appearance, Xiao Jin was embarrassed to joke anymore, and sat in the passenger seat like a good child.
This was the largest fire ever, and not only the fire station where Xiao Jin was located, but also the fire stations in several other surrounding towns were also fully dispatched. The cause of this fire was not a deliberate fire lit by someone, nor did it happen by accident, but it must have happened, because it was a volcano, an active volcano. Below the volcano lies a dense jungle. Before the volcano erupted, sporadic sparks were already bursting out of the mountain. At first, no one noticed, no one suspected, and no one knew that the volcano was about to erupt. Even the seismic detector installed on the fire did not detect the earthquake, and the fire erupted calmly. The moment the lamp erupted, the seismic detector sent a signal. When the earthquake observation center received this signal, no one saw it, and people were either coming home from work or taking time to go to the toilet or pour a glass of water. Sometimes it's just such a coincidence, you stare at the screen for a long time, and nothing is out of the ordinary, and the moment you turn your head, it happens.
The fire spread so quickly that a dozen or so fire trucks alone could not help, and the air support that was called was a drop in the bucket, and at most it was just a matter of reporting the scope of the fire to the center. The boundary line of the place where the fire broke out is more than 10 kilometers long, and if the fire is not extinguished, the real forest will be burned down. There are hundreds of acres of economic forests and fruit groves, as well as countless precious medicinal herbs and rare animals and plants.
It is really a long way to put out this fire, and Xiao Jin was directly stunned when he arrived. He had never seen this scene before, the fire in the sky was full of fire, the choking smoke filled the woods, the visibility was so low that he had to wear a gas mask. Under the unified command of the fire center, everyone methodically extinguished the fire in their area of responsibility.
At this time, Clumsy suddenly shouted into the distance, and when Xiao Jin looked up, he saw a rolling fireball rushing towards him. Xiao Jin hurriedly picked up the stupid and jumped to the side, and dodged without danger. But instead of rolling in a straight line, the fireball followed the direction of the wind. Those who didn't notice behind them were in danger. Little King Kong wants to remind them. Someone screamed, and then there was a scream.
Someone's on fire, put it out!
After this fireball hit people, it flew away, and no one stopped it, it seems that this fireball with a diameter of nearly three meters is still too terrifying.
The man who was knocked down was covered with flames that could not be extinguished no matter how he rolled on the ground, but fortunately, the person next to him helped him extinguish the fire with a water cannon.
No way! You're just going to spray me with a water gun? Did you know that it hurts? Why don't you say that the fire extinguisher came over?
It's good if I put out the fire for you, and I gave you that fire extinguisher, why don't I bring you that ice cream?
Ice cream? Ice cream is fine, too!
Okay, your sister, okay! Next time you catch fire again, I won't save you!
Don't don't, I'm wrong, brother!
While the two were still arguing, the big fireball that had run away had been extinguished by the water cannon. Everyone continues to move forward, the fire truck will run out of water and return to the fire center to replenish water, and the rest of the people will take the opportunity to clean up the battlefield, completely extinguish the sparks, and evacuate some of the besieged critters. Ambulances have also been sent from surrounding hospitals, and once people or animals are found to be injured, they will be sent to the car and sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
There was a squirrel trapped in a tree, but the fire around it was so strong that no one could get close. However, if the fire is extinguished and rushed, I am afraid it will be too late. Xiao Jin couldn't stand it anymore, and looked at the distance of five or six meters, and with his own speed, he was only roasting on the fire for two or three seconds. After thinking about the steps, Xiao Jin rushed over with a shovel, and the flames rushed to his face instantly.
The protective clothing worn by Xiaojin is very resistant to high temperatures, so the ignition will not burn the clothes. However, although the clothes do not burn, the temperature will be transmitted. If you stay in the hot fire for a long time, the temperature of the protective clothing will rise to several hundred degrees, and even if the protective clothing is insulated and transmitted to people, it will be eighty or ninety degrees. Xiao Jin gritted his teeth and ran over, enduring the high temperature, and ran under the tree. The leaves on the tree had burned out, and only a few branches remained, and the little squirrel lay in the nest and did not dare to come out, no matter how Xiao Jin shouted, the little squirrel was motionless. Xiao Jin only stopped under the tree for three seconds before he felt a wave of heat hit his stomach, and his whole body was hot and sweaty. Jin couldn't wait any longer, and if he continued like this, he would have to roast with the squirrel. Looking up, Kim tried to see if he could climb the tree. The tree wasn't very tall, but it was still hard for Kim to climb up. I didn't climb up several branches after I pulled them off. Just when Jin was about to do nothing, the little squirrel poked his head out and saw Jin under the tree. Xiao Jin also saw the little squirrel, and quickly raised his hands to make a gesture that could catch it. A branch on the tree crackled and burned, and when it fell, it almost hit the little squirrel, but the little squirrel hid in the hole in time. Jin couldn't hold on anymore, and he felt like his skin was about to burn. The little squirrel stayed in the hole for two seconds and poked its head out again.
Don't hesitate, jump now! If you don't jump, I'll go!
Xiao Jin doesn't care if this squirrel understands it or not, anyway, he has already made it clear, and it won't be my fault that you will be burned to death when the time comes.
The little squirrel looked left and right, and then jumped down towards Kim. Xiao Jin's protective suit was extremely hot, and he didn't want the little squirrel to be burned to death by his own protective suit instead of being burned to death. So, when the little squirrel was about to jump off, he took off the glove in his right hand, and a heat wave of several hundred degrees rushed in through his cuffs. He didn't care about that, he was going to catch the squirrel and catch it. Fortunately, Xiao Jin caught the little squirrel with one hand, and then quickly ran back. When he ran back, he tripped over something under his feet, and when he saw that he was about to fall, Xiao Jin hurriedly threw the squirrel forward. At a distance of four or five meters, the little squirrel went straight from the fire. Xiao Wei, who came over in time, had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that Xiao Jin who ran over there was tripped and fell, he shouted directly. Then he ran up to save Xiao Jin, and at this time, he suddenly saw something flying in the air, he reached out to catch it, and found that it was a squirrel whose hair was about to be burned.
Just when Xiao Wei was stunned, he suddenly remembered Xiao Jin who fell in the sea of fire. Quickly threw down the squirrel and ran over. Xiao Jin supported his body on the ground with one left hand, and his right hand had been retracted into the inside of the suit. Just as he felt the heat unbearable, a hand reached out. He raised his head and saw that it was Xiao Wei, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and when his spirit relaxed, Xiao Jin suddenly felt so hot, and then fainted.
Oh! You don't faint sooner or later, faint when I just picked you up? You did it on purpose, right?
Although Xiao Wei scolded on his lips, he was worried to death in his heart. He dragged Xiao Jin's body of more than 130 catties, and it took a lot of effort to drag Xiao Jin out of the sea of fire. Xiao Wei hurriedly called a doctor and escorted Xiao Jin to the ambulance. He can't take Xiaojin to the hospital yet, he has more important things, and that is to put out the fire.
On the way to the hospital, Kim wakes up and sees a doctor checking his heartbeat again.
I...... I'm dead?
Xiao Jin looked at the doctor who was not very kind, and muttered quietly.
If you die, I'll have no worries!
Oh, that's not dead, that's great! By the way, how is that squirrel? Is it still alive?
Squirrel? What squirrel? I didn't see it, you better lie down quickly, I see that your voice is going to be hoarse, I guess your lungs have inhaled a lot of smoke, right? When the time comes, I will wash your lungs!
The doctor removed the stethoscope and tapped the drip bag.
Lung washing? No, I don't want to wash my lungs!
Cut, you don't wash your lungs? You don't want your lungs anymore?
Oh, my God!
Kim screamed in the ambulance, and no one could help.
Xiao Jin over there has been taken to the hospital, and Xiao Wei here is still busy, he has been running back and forth four or five times, and he has added oil in the middle, but the fire is still burning. They had come to the foot of the volcano, where there were not only burning trees, but also falling rocks. The temperature of these rocks is still hundreds of degrees, and some of them are glowing red, and even if you use a water nourishment gun, it will take four or five seconds to spray them. Some of the hot rocks hide themselves, hiding under the gray rubble, and if someone steps on them, they will sink in, burning their shoes or burning their feet. Fortunately, the shoes worn by firefighters are resistant to high temperatures, do not melt easily, and can be pulled out in time when they sink without being burned. Many people have already suffered losses, so the pace of progress has slowed down.
At this time, the sky was about to dawn, and people were busy all night, and no one shouted that they were tired, and they had been concentrating on extinguishing the fire. Although some people fainted in the fire, others would still make up for it quickly, and would not let the fire have a chance to spread.
The volcano still spits out lava, but it can no longer affect the woods below, because the firefighters have surrounded it, and the cooled lava has turned into hard rock, turning into a wall, trapping the flowing lava and defending the vast woods behind it.
Finish.
