Hearing the news, although Zhou Yi was not shocked, he immediately turned over and got dressed.

Shan Wenxu on the other bed was also awakened, and after learning that there was a fire, his heart couldn't help but sink, and he hurriedly got up and dressed.

"You don't have to follow Lao Dan, Yanan and I will deal with it."

Zhou Yi hurriedly said a word to Shan Wenxu, and then called Sima Yanan while walking out, and went downstairs to Shaohua Economic Development Zone in a special car.

Sima Yanan also got a report here, she immediately ordered the secretary to arrange the vehicle to leave, and half an hour later, almost at the same time as Zhou Yi, arrived at the Auto Parts City of the Industrial Park of the Economic Development Zone.

The glow of the skyrocketing fire is clearly visible from a distance, and as you get closer, the more visible the firelight becomes, and you can smell a pungent smell.

When Zhou Yi and Sima Yanan arrived at the scene, the scene and its surroundings had been guarded by hundreds of armed police officers and policemen, and more than 100 nearby households had also been evacuated.

The two got out of the car, took the masks handed by the secretary and put them on, looked up at the burning auto parts city building not far away, and their hearts were extremely heavy.

Under their dispatch, the city has dispatched 11 fire squadrons, about dozens of fire trucks, and nearly 200 firefighters to participate in the firefighting work, but the fire has still not been effectively controlled.

Xu Pei, director of the Management Committee of the Development Zone, Yang Shu, deputy director, and the director of the Public Security Bureau of the Development Zone hurriedly rushed up.

When reporting to the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor, Xu Pei's face was pale, his head was covered with cold sweat, and he even stammered a little when he spoke.

The root cause of his panic is that although there are no accurate casualty figures, the bodies of five victims have been found on the periphery of the fire, and nine others have been taken to the hospital for emergency treatment.

What frightened him even more was that this was not the final number, according to the information provided by the person in charge, there were at least dozens of workers working overtime in this auto parts city.

The words "major accidents, especially major accidents" have been lingering in Director Xu's mind, he has never asked God or worshiped Buddha, but this time if he can die a few less, he will definitely go to Fahua Temple to burn incense and make vows.

Zhang Hui, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Fang Daye, executive vice mayor, Jiang Yongcheng, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and director of the Public Security Bureau, and others also rushed to the scene, and everyone's faces were full of solemnity.

Luo Hao, the deputy mayor in charge of the development zone, had dry lips and was full of bitterness.

Mayor Zhou attaches great importance to the prevention of fires, and has urged relevant departments to implement the prevention of supervision, inspection and self-inspection.

However, it turns out how serious the consequences can be.

Once a major or extraordinarily serious accident occurs, one of the relevant responsible persons will definitely not be able to escape.

And Xu Pei, the director of the management committee, will certainly be held accountable, and he is also not good as the deputy mayor in charge.

Zhou Yi had a thick melancholy in his eyes and let out a long sigh.

At this moment, he once again understood one thing, even the reborn is not omnipotent! At least he didn't know there would be such a major fire.

He didn't care what would happen to his career, he just wanted more people to escape the catastrophe.

If it were possible, he would be willing to trade his own downgraded three levels in exchange for no casualties, but he knew that such an assumption did not make sense.

This fire burned half the sky red.

It lasted eight hours from 0:50 a.m. on 18 August to 9 a.m. on the same day.

After the fire was extinguished and the search and rescue was over, according to the latest statistics, a total of 11 people were killed and 16 were injured.

Such heavy casualties not only shocked the whole province, but also shocked the whole country.

On the afternoon of 19 August, the Shaohua Municipal Government held a press conference.

At the press conference, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government expressed condolences to the victims of the accident, and Sima Yanan, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Mayor Zhou Yi bowed deeply and apologized.

Facing the news media, Mayor Zhou, whose eyes were bloodshot, said in a low voice: "Secretary Sima's throat is inflamed and he can't speak. First of all, on behalf of the municipal party committee and government, I would like to make a profound review to the families of the victims, to the people of the whole city, and to the whole society. ”

"The investigation team preliminarily determined that the fire accident was due to the ignition of surrounding combustibles due to the cable failure in the power distribution room of the Auto Parts City building, and the person in charge of the building did not organize evacuation and rescue in time...... At present, the relevant responsible person has been controlled by the police! ”

"Secretary Sima and I are very worried and guilty, no matter what the cause of the accident is, the result is that more than 10 families are torn apart. Life and death are unbearable burdens for anyone. As the mayor and secretary of the municipal party committee, we have an unshirkable leadership responsibility! ”

In the end, Zhou Yi and Sima Yanan bowed deeply again with tears in their eyes and apologized.

After the press conference, the relevant news immediately made headlines and hot searches in major news media, not only because of a major fire accident, but also because the city named Shaohua has the youngest municipal party secretary and mayor in the country.

For a while, the voice of questioning that had been silent for a long time resurfaced. In the comment area of the scarf, some people are yin and yang, and they form a group to comment.

What is the use of apologizing, and can an apology bring people back to life, regardless of economic development, production safety, political achievements, and the lives of the people, or the crocodile's tears at the press conference, and can an apology bring people back to life? ’……

It is even more well-known that he published a signed article entitled "A Great Fire Burned Xinhua's Leading Cadres to the Ground", pointing the finger at the two party and government officials of Shaohua City, the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor.

Lin Fang, who had just returned to Liaodong, saw this review article, as if she had seen her former self, she didn't say a word, immediately wrote hard, published articles to refute them one by one, and then called Tian Tian, who was still in Shaohua, and asked her to interview relevant personnel on this matter and get first-hand real materials.

Reporter Tian also dispelled the idea of leaving Shaohua for a long time, and hurriedly took the accompanying cameraman to interview Deputy Mayor Luo Hao, Director of the Development Zone Management Committee Xu Pei, Fire Brigade Captain Zhao Weidong and Director of the Safety Production Supervision and Administration Bureau Ma Wentao.

In other words, these people may not even give a chance to meet, but this reporter Tian is the mayor's classmate, so they must fully cooperate and dare not slack off in the slightest.

"The secretary and the mayor have repeatedly reaffirmed that we must implement the work of safety production, this year's work conference was held three times, and issued a notice of several provisions on the investigation and rectification of fire hazards, however, some business leaders are either careless or perfunctory with a fluke mentality, take the auto parts city where the fire occurred, the fire department has issued three fire hazard rectification notices before......"

Deputy Mayor Luo Hao was both sad and helpless to complain to reporter Tian.

It's not that he excuses the secretary and the mayor, and he doesn't deliberately throw the blame on the company, he just tells the truth.
