Chapter 2: Rescue in the Fire
The Linjiang Urban Fire Brigade and the Eastern District Fire Squadron under it are also considered to be a company-level establishment, but because Linjiang City is only a fifth-tier city, there are not many personnel. In addition to the logistics support personnel, the first and second shifts are really on the front line, each squad is composed of five people, respectively equipped with a fire truck, and a spare fire truck, and these three vehicles, also equipped with three teams and four teams, are used to drive vehicles, as well as build ground inflatable cushions and use fire fighting facilities on the vehicle.
Under normal circumstances, a fire engine would be sufficient to deal with a general fire that could result in the death of less than three people.
But right now, Chen Ye stared at the three red giant beasts in front of him with a solemn expression.
Usually, the fire level is divided after the accident is over and the number of casualties is counted. But within them, they usually make judgments in advance based on the size of the fire situation.
And the siren, which was judged to be a "particularly major fire" by the duty room, undoubtedly no longer told him the seriousness of the fire, so that when Chen Ye arrived at the garage, he immediately issued an order to dispatch all the vehicles and personnel.
The news that followed also proved this.
I saw a thin man with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, carrying a belt in his hand, hurriedly running here, a brand new firefighting uniform, but wearing the charm of pajamas.
Chen Ye frowned angrily, this is the instructor who had just been assigned to them from the Linjiang City Fire Detachment when he officially took office today.
It is said to be a relational household, and I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, looking at the loose firefighting uniform that was worn, and even the exposed pocket because the button on his chest was not buttoned, Chen Ye was a little angry.
Looking at the brothers around him who were like warriors, the firefighting uniforms they were wearing, like armor, tightly attached to their bodies, all of them were upright, and a belt around their waists was firmly fixed there, Chen Ye couldn't help but sigh the gap between the two.
Chen Ye watched the instructor who didn't even know his name run to him and quickly stood in a military posture, listening carefully to the content of his report.
"Report! Team Chen! There is a fire in Building 5 of Donghuayuan Community, Canlin Street, and the fire is serious, so please call the police immediately! The speed of speech, which was so fast that he couldn't make a slurred speech, accompanied by a rapid wheezing sound, reached Chen Ye's ears.
Chen Ye didn't have time to correct these at the moment, Donghuayuan Community, as a newly renovated residential building in recent years, a 23-story residential building at this time, a major fire broke out in the middle of the night when everyone was still asleep, and the consequences were unimaginable. Chen Ye turned around suddenly, looked at the brothers who had already finished standby, and quickly gave an order.
"Building 5 of Donghuayuan Community, Canlin Street! The first team and the third team took the water pipe fire truck, the second team and the fourth team foam fire, Wu Haoyu and Zheng Jun were out of the ranks! Take the third car with me, set off quickly, and be sure to get to the scene as soon as possible! ”
With an order, ten firefighters quickly got into the car, at this time the personnel responsible for starting each car were ready, Zheng Jun of the second team, although he was older, was also the same group of police officers as Wu Haoyu of the first team, at this time received the order, and quickly ran to the third dry powder fire truck.
With the sound of three sirens sounding one after another, the three red giant beasts had already driven out of the fire squadron and quickly drove towards the Donghuayuan community.
It is worth mentioning that the instructor, whose name Chen Ye still didn't know, also ran to the third car, and was sitting opposite Chen Ye at this time, tying the belt in his hand in a panic.
Because it was late at night and the special vehicles did not need to look at the traffic lights, it took less than four minutes for the three red giant beasts to arrive at the Donghuayuan community, which is located six kilometers away.
Before I got close to the community, I saw the fire in the sky, dispelling the surrounding night.
Chen Ye frowned and looked at the residential building on fire in the distance, it was really easy to identify the location of Building No. 5, the 23-story residential building, starting from the fifth floor, was like a skewer wearing alcohol cotton, and the raging fire could be seen clearly outside the building.
Chen Ye clenched his fists, judging from the situation in front of him, the probability of residents above the fifth floor even running down the floor along the fire escape is not large, not to mention, at this time, on the fifth floor at the center of the fire, looking at the flames whistling in the wind from the glass, Chen Ye's clenched palms gradually oozed beads of sweat.
The three cars parked their positions, and with Chen Ye's order, the first and second teams, including himself, were all dispatched, and more than a dozen firefighters took their respective equipment and rushed straight to the building.
In fact, in the face of fires on higher floors, the use of fire trucks is not much, and even the inflatable cushions laid on the ground are useless for residents above the fifteenth floor.
Not to mention, the flame sandwiched between the 5th ~ 8th floors in the middle, like a lava monster, is tightly clinging to the outside of the floor and constantly climbing upward.
Normally, residential buildings don't have such outward flames.
It's not a chemical plant, there aren't that many flammable materials, but it's happening right in front of you, and no matter how many people around you guess, it's already happening.
For Chen Ye and them, this is not the time to find out the reason, what they have to do is to rescue even one more person, even if it is an injured person.
At this time, one more person is rescued, and there is more hope of survival.
The elevator is impossible to use, and when the group walked along the fire escape to the corner of the fourth floor, the scalding heat wave on their faces had already burned their cheeks, and the fire light that was constantly trying to gush out from the unclosed fire door above made Chen Ye's eyelids jump.
He understood that inside the fifth floor, he was afraid that he had fallen into a sea of fire.
Sighing, Chen Ye tightened his heat-insulated helmet, and ordered Zhang Cha, who was holding the fire extinguishing equipment, to stay here to stop the fire from spreading out of the door, and the group continued to go upstairs.
Smelling the pungent smell in the air, Chen Ye gradually frowned.
The smell was all too familiar to him.
It's gasoline.
Chen Ye clenched his teeth, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped up one by one.
It wasn't an accident at all!
However, what came to the front of the eyes also proved this, outside the fire door opened on the sixth floor, the fire spread out was much more serious, reaching the point where it was impossible to pass at all, after everyone sprayed the dry powder fire extinguisher in their hands, the yellow-white dry powder edge, the yellow liquid that continued to seep out, was still igniting, spreading, it seemed to be a pair of red hands in the abyss, reaching out to everyone's feet, trying to pull it into it.
Chen Ye didn't dare to imagine what kind of person would start a fire with such a large amount of gasoline in this residential building in the middle of the night, I am afraid that the madness is indescribable.
"Hurry up!"
Chen Ye gritted his teeth and ordered, now is not the time to think about this, because one of the small details aroused his strong vigilance, around the fire door, at the fire-scorched wall, there were three penetrating cracks, almost synchronized with the wall.
Chen Ye saw that there was very little spreading gasoline seeping, so he did not leave anyone to guard it.
The brothers received the order not to say a word, but to continue to rush upward.
However, it is true for three floors in a row.
The fire was mixed with the pungent smell of gasoline, and the shocking cracks in the walls kept hitting everyone's hearts.
But no one chose to back down.
And when I went up to the ninth floor, all of a sudden, the fire was much smaller.
No more uncontrollable sprawl like the 5th~8th floor.
When he was about to go to the 10th floor, Chen Ye met the first survivor.
It was a family of three, a man and a woman holding a quilt soaked in water, and in addition to wrapping themselves, there was a young girl in the middle.
Chen Ye saw that the wide eyes of men and women revealed complex emotions, including panic, despair, and worry, but more importantly, the great joy after seeing them, they kept coughing, and they didn't have time to speak.
And that little girl, before she saw Chen Ye, there was no horror in her eyes, nothing in her eyes, but after seeing Chen Ye and them, she was just more curious.
For these, Chen Ye didn't have time to pay too much attention to them, and only regarded this as a reason for his youth. He ordered Wu Haoyu to send them downstairs to each other, while the rest continued to run upwards.
Around the 12th floor, the heat wave on his face disappeared completely, and Chen Ye understood that if the heat wave on his face disappeared while wearing a fire hat, it meant that the temperature here was much normal.
At the very least, enough for people to breathe.
Accompanied by noisy sounds, a dense crowd appears in front of you.
People crowded into the narrow passage and were running downstairs.
And at this moment, under the stairs, there was a loud explosion.
Many people hurriedly covered their ears, but they were still a step too slow, and there was a tingling sensation in their ears, as well as a long roar.
For a moment, everyone stopped for a moment.
The team members wearing fire hats have sound insulation measures for this kind of blasting sound, but at this time, Chen Ye's eyes widened.
There are headsets to communicate with each other.
At this moment, two painful roars rushed out of the headset.
Chen Ye quickly recognized one of the voices.
Zhang Cha.
This man who is always talkative, the painful roar at this time is also extraordinarily long at the moment, however, the heart-rending long-term roar is Chen Ye's heart trembling when he listens.
This similar rant, he had heard in a headset three months earlier.
It was the roar of Team Su and Zhou Xiao caught in the flames.
In the case of them wearing fireproof suits, the violent impact of the flames will not make them die immediately, but like a roast duck wrapped in tin foil on a hot stove, from the outside in, in a few seconds, scalded to death.
At this time, the sound from the headset once again made Chen Ye's mood fall into a lower trough.
"I'm Haoyu, I'm Haoyu." Lu Haoyu's hurried voice came, his voice was a little unclear, it seemed that he was enduring severe pain at this time. "There was an explosion on the fifth floor, the stairs leading to the sixth floor collapsed, and the stairs leading to the sixth floor ...... All collapsed! ”
