Riverside police

On the river, Captain Wang drove the newly commissioned small 001 (Binjiang Public Security Patrol 001), and Master Zhou drove the 002, carrying Lao Zhang, police officer Lao Liu from the Bailonggang Police Station, Jin Da, Han Xiangning, and Chen Zikun from the Third Hong Kong Patrol Brigade. The police shouted to drive away the people who were fishing for eel fry in the Bailong Port ship lock channel.

In the conference room on the second floor of the barge, Xu Sanye is presiding over the first meeting of heads of units along the river since the barge was put into use.

Starting the day before yesterday, the battle for catching eel larvae has intensified, gradually engulfing nearby waterways and anchorages.

Yesterday evening, Big 001 was dispatched for a patrol. When the radar was turned on and scanned, the bright spots on the display were densely packed, and large and small eel-catching boats were dotted around.

Due to insufficient water depth in the Yangtze River Estuary, large ships have to ride the tide to enter the port.

Eel fry also have the characteristic of riding the tide into the port, so every day when the tide rises, there will be scenes of "life and death" in which sailing ships and seedling boats compete with each other and are full of dangers. Bailong Port Passenger Terminal and Bailong Port The ship lock management office is in emergency again and again.

However, Xu Sanye is not studying the intensifying eel fishing war now. Instead, he is asking Director Yu, the person in charge of Bailong Port Passenger Terminal, to report the recent fire accident in the waters upstream of Hanwu.

"The fire broke out at 1:30 on the night of January 2. The fire occurred in the Yangtze River 62008 pusher fleet of Jiangcheng Oil Shipping Company. The fleet has three barges, carrying more than 7,200 tons of crude oil. On December 28 last year, we set off from Yizhen in our Jiangnan Province and headed for the Nanhu Gaoguanling Refinery in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River."

Director Yu from Bailonggang Passenger Terminal specially brought a water area map, pointed to the map and said: "The incident occurred in the upper reaches of Hanwu, only 81 kilometers away from the busiest Minsheng Road Terminal in Hanwu, and 81 kilometers away from the Hanwu Yangtze River Bridge. It’s not far.”

"The first person to receive the call for help was the Yangtze River Steamship Corporation. According to regulations, the water transportation department should be responsible for firefighting fires on the water. But the Yangtze River Steamship Corporation, which has thousands of ships and billions of fixed assets, does not even have a fire boat!"

"The call for help went from the Yangtze River Company to the Hanwu Port Authority, but the port authority only had one 800-horsepower tug-and-consumer ship, and it was under maintenance. The call for help turned to the Hanwu Petrochemical Plant, and then to the Nanhu Changling Refinery factory, both parties said they would dispatch fire boats to the scene for rescue.”

"The call for help also came to the fire detachment of the Hanwu Municipal Public Security Bureau. The fire detachment also happened to receive the rescue dispatch order from the command center of the municipal public security bureau and quickly mobilized the two fire squadrons of Yanghan and Duokou, bringing foam fire trucks and hand-held water pumps. and related equipment, and rushed to the river embankment at the scene of the accident at around 5 a.m."

"But the boat is burning in the river, and the fire truck's foam gun has a range of only fifty or sixty meters. Only a car ferry can get close to the fire boat. But where can they find a car ferry? Two fire trucks have become two landlubbers, and heroes are useless. The place of martial arts.”

"But they didn't want to watch the ship burn like this, let alone watch the burning oil tanker drift out of control and drift toward Hanwu, so twenty-one commanders and soldiers decided to abandon their vehicles and take a boat, move the fire-fighting equipment onto a cement paddle boat, and approach the fire For oil barges, lift the pump by hand and spray water first to lower the temperature of the barge body and delay possible explosions.

"At the same time, the leaders of the Nanhan Public Security Bureau led people to search for dry foam powder nearby and responded quickly, hoping to use foam to extinguish the fire after finding it."

"Barge No. 63023, which was stranded upstream, was burning the most. The oil fire erupted from the cabin and surrounded the hull. From time to time, flames tens of meters high shot up into the clouds, like a volcanic eruption. Fire and smoke were pouring out, and loud roaring noises were being made, and there was no way to save him.”

"They conducted reconnaissance on the drifting barge No. 63040 and found that the fire on the ship was only burning on the bow, and the fire was not high. They even risked their lives by driving the cement ship close to the oil barge and touching the body of the barge with their hands. I found that the hull was not very hot.”

"They decided to board the ship and fight. The cadres went on first and boarded the burning oil barge first. They led the fire fighters to spray water jets from water guns and stayed close to the deck, inch by inch, and moved forward cautiously step by step."

If cold water is poured directly onto an open flame, it will explode!

Qian, the station manager at the gas station, was frightened when he heard this. Veins popped up on Xu Sanye's forehead, and he clenched his fists tightly and remained silent.

A major fire broke out in the Hanwu waters, and fire safety inspections must be carried out along the entire Yangtze River.

Yu Xiucai is the director of the Water Public Security Bureau. Next, he will inspect the Binjiang Port Authority and other units together with the Port Supervision Bureau. Before the inspection, he must not know anything about the accident and be busy taking notes.

"Cadres know that if cold water is poured directly onto an open flame, a terrible explosion may occur. When approaching the flames, the cadres take the water cannon from the soldiers and spray it in a fan pattern, making the soldiers lean back... The water dragon is extending and the position is expanding. , the extinguishing work went very smoothly.”

Director Yu looked at the briefing materials from the Port Authority, took a few deep breaths, and said solemnly: "At 8:57, just as the fire commanders were advancing in victory, there was a 'squeak' sound from behind. The deck began to tremble.

They had a premonition that danger was imminent. When they looked back, they saw a flame bursting out of the right rear cabin of the oil barge. The cadres used their hands to shield their faces from the oil fire and gave the order to evacuate, but without even saying the word "leave", there was a loud "bang" and the two oil tanks at the back of the right side of the oil barge exploded.

Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky. The fire fighters who boarded the ship were lifted up by the hot air waves at the moment of the explosion. Some fell into the river, some fell on the oil barge, and some are missing..."

Because the equipment was backward and the training was not professional enough, eight fire officers and soldiers were sacrificed. Those were eight young lives!

Tears rolled in Xu Sanye's eyes, and Sister Zhu couldn't help crying.

"The fire burned from the night of January 2nd to January 8th, burning for more than 150 hours. During this period, in order to ensure that the burning oil barges would not drift to critical docks downstream or even the Yangtze River Bridge, the Hanwu side Two sets of tactical measures were formulated.”

"First, there are no barges in the two sections of the Yangtze River Main Tunnel waiting at the flood mouth. As soon as the oil barge shows signs of drifting, it will push forward to the shoal on the south bank for positioning. Second, if the push fails, the large oil barge downstream of the flood mouth will On the Zui River, use cannon to sink the oil barge!"

Director Yu couldn't continue the report, and he couldn't imagine what would happen if the fire broke out in the Bailonggang waters.

Xu Sanye calmed down and turned around and asked: "Director Zhu, you are the department in charge of water transportation and water firefighting. Please say a few words first."

Sister Zhu quickly took out her handkerchief to wipe away her tears and said with choked sobs: "After receiving the notice from our superiors, our bureau leaders held an emergency meeting and asked all port supervision stations and law enforcement brigades to carry out water fire safety inspections. The unit purchases fire-fighting equipment to make up for this shortcoming.”

"Specifically, it's our Bailong Port side."

"Our logistics department has learned that the fire water cannons on Big 001 can be modified."

"How to modify it?"

"It has been modified to be used for both water and foam. Director Yu, Station Director Qian, and Director Liu, it is unrealistic for you to board the fire boat. There is no need for Da 001 to board the fire boat for the time being, but to extinguish oil fires and chemical fires Can you three share the required foam and purchase more?"

"no problem."

"The lessons from the past are here, and we must learn from them. We at the lock management have no objection."

"Suo Xu, Director Zhu, I...I need to report to my superiors first."

"Okay, but as soon as possible."

Xu Sanye took over the conversation, turned around and asked, "Tell me about the rest of the game."

Yu Xiucai quickly put down his paper and pen, raised his head and said: "Comrades, regarding firefighting, equipment is indeed very important, but professional training is equally important. It is sad to think about the sacrifice of eight firefighting officers and soldiers.

We must learn this bloody lesson and be responsible for our police officers, employees and joint defense team members. I suggest that after the New Year, we invite fire experts to give a detailed talk and conduct a professional fire protection business training. "

Cadres should be commended for taking the lead, but they must not be ignorant of business.

Xu Sanye felt that Yu Xiucai's proposal was very reasonable and asked: "Where can I hire fire experts? I guess there aren't any in Binjiang. The professional level of the Binjiang fire detachment is not necessarily higher than ours."

"I'll figure this out. If the province can't invite me, go to Donghai. If Donghai can't invite me, go to the capital!"

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."

Xu Sanye nodded slightly and started the second agenda of the meeting, asking Sister Zhu to report on the eel fry catching battle in front of her.

Compared with fire protection, this is an urgent problem.

Sister Zhu calmed down, looked through her notebook and said with a wry smile: "In previous years, people were driven by profit to catch eel fry on the river, but this year there are more people and boats fishing for eel fry than in previous years.

According to statistics from the Brother Law Enforcement Brigade and the Harbor Supervision Station, as of yesterday afternoon, tens of thousands of eel-fishing boats, large and small, had gathered in the waters from Jiangyin to Binjiang and then to Xujiajing. "

Xu Sanye couldn't believe there were so many, and murmured: "A million troops have crossed the Yangtze River."

"Xu Suo, we are driving people here every day. Many people are tired of being driven and go upstream, so you can't see much from the barge. You will know if you go to Binjiang Port and take a look. The river is full of eels. Miao’s boat.”

"Has it affected navigation?"

"Well, it's serious."

"How serious."

"I called before the meeting and found out that the three passenger ships at the Binjiang Port Passenger Terminal have been delayed for six hours, and they probably haven't set sail yet."

Sister Zhu looked at her notebook and said, "On the afternoon of the 24th, the Hui'an Timber Company's 'Sengong No. 22' wooden tug collided with the Yangtze River 21004 pusher and disintegrated because it could not avoid eel fishing boats. A large amount of wood was lost. The economic loss was more than 70,000 yuan.”

"On the night of the 25th, more than a thousand navigation marks in the waters from Binjiang to Jiangyin were vandalized by eel fishing boats. They took away the zinc-empty batteries and flashlights of the navigation marks and used them for night lighting, causing economic losses of tens of thousands of yuan and seriously affecting navigation. Safety."

"On February 1st, when the 81012 fleet of the Hanwu Yangtze River Transportation Company sailed to our Binjiang anchorage No. 26, it was blocked by a captured eel boat. They sounded the whistle to remind them to avoid it. As a result, more than 30 people illegally fishing for eel fry swarmed up. , robbed oil drums, cables and all daily necessities of the fleet, and beat several sailors who blocked them."

…

The Tiansheng Port lock channel is full of eel-fishing boats, and the locks no longer dare to release ships.

The Tiansheng Port power plant only has enough coal for a few days, and the coal fleet is stuck at the anchorage and unable to move.

The passenger ships at Binjiang Port Passenger Terminal are delayed every day.

Collisions occur several times a day.

The end of the Yangtze River is in chaos, and the golden waterway is blocked...

Xu Sanye realized the seriousness of the problem, frowned and asked, "Have your bureau leaders taken any measures?"

"We have dispatched all the surveillance boats we can, but we can't do anything except shouting. The city asked us to contact the Yangtze River Port Supervision Bureau. The Yangtze River Harbor Supervision Bureau asked us to contact the city or the fishery administration. In the end, the fishery administration They came to us, but now we don’t know who is responsible for this matter.”

Director Yu from Bailonggang muttered: "Maybe everyone is busy celebrating the New Year and can't take care of things on the river."

Sister Zhu said helplessly: "Besides, the river is not the shore. All the leaders have seen it in the past few days. If you block people's money, they will fight for you. If we are tough, if those people really jump into the river, what will happen to their lives?" manage."

"But we can't just sit back and do nothing!"

As the person in charge of the Bailong Port Passenger Terminal, Director Yu was more anxious than anyone else. He knocked on the table and said, "The passengers are scolding us because the ferry is late. And Bailong Port is not a riverside port. We only have three small hotels here.

The ferry tickets have long been sold out. If the passenger ship is suspended due to channel congestion, where will tens of thousands of passengers be stranded in Bailong Port? How can we let people sleep on the streets in such a cold weather? "

Xu Sanye always thought that no one would dare not listen if he said his name and shouted.

But after three days of guerrilla warfare, I found that my name did not work for those who wanted money rather than their lives.

Moreover, many boats fishing for eel fry come from other places. People have never heard of him and don’t know who he is.

What’s even more maddening is that some of the boats illegally fishing for eel seedlings come from aquatic products companies from other places, some from other places’ township enterprises, and some from other places’ eel breeding units.

In other words, if the fishery government has a fishing charter, only their own aquatic products companies are allowed to fish. The Yangtze River does not belong to the fishery government, so why should others not be allowed to fish?

Or simply ban fishing and stop catching eel fry.

With huge economic interests coupled with departmental interests, Xu Sanye felt powerless for the first time.

Seeing Director Yu looking at him expectantly, he weighed it up and said resolutely: "There are too many illegal fishing boats. We have no authority to control them, and even these few people can't control them. However, we must ensure passenger transportation no matter what." Work properly.

Passenger ships cannot be delayed, let alone suspended, and passengers cannot be stranded. There is enough chaos on the river, and there must be no more chaos on the shore. "

"Xu Suo, how can we ensure it?"

"Anyway, the ticket check-in and sailing time have been messed up. After you go back, communicate with the person in charge of the shipping company to see if you can adjust the entry and exit times according to the ebb and flow of the tide, and organize Bai Shen, Bai Wu, Bai Zhu and Bai Liu to set sail at the same time. .”

Xu Sanye paused and then said: "Although the North Branch Channel is narrow, the wind and waves are not big. When the time comes, we can organize large 001, 002 and small 001 escorts.

When the passenger ship formation entered the main channel, the river became wider and it was relatively easier to avoid them, so 002 and small 001 were allowed to return, while large 001 continued to escort. "

"Xu Suo, there are also many eel fishing boats at Liuhe Port." Sister Zhu reminded.

"Director Zhu, you are responsible for communicating and coordinating with Liuhe on this matter. The Chinese New Year is just around the corner. If any of the tourists don't want to go home, they also don't want tens of thousands of tourists to be stranded at their place."

"Let them ask the public security over there for assistance and dispatch law enforcement boats to respond?"

"Well, we will escort the passenger ship formation to the Liuhe estuary waters. When the response ship from the Liuhe River arrives, we will continue to escort Qingshen, Qingzhu and Qingwu."

This determination is big enough!

Director Yu thought this was a solution, and turned to look at Zhang Junyan, who had remained silent: "Suo Zhang, can you please ask the Changhang Shipping Public Security Bureau to communicate and coordinate with the Donghai Shipping Public Security Bureau, and ask the Donghai Shipping Public Security Bureau to also cooperate with the port supervisor to dispatch law enforcement vessels? Answer."

Zhang Junyan said quickly: "Okay, I'll contact you when I get back."

Xu Sanye nodded with satisfaction and said decisively: "Director Zhu, Director Yu, and Lao Zhang, let's make preparations separately and strive to start armed escort tonight.

If someone dares to block the waterway again, I will not be polite to them. I will catch them one by one and control them first! "

If the passenger ship is delayed for five hours, there will be five to six thousand more passengers in Bailong Port.

If the passenger ships stop sailing, Bailong Port will be overcrowded and the waiting room will be overcrowded, which may cause serious trouble.

Li Weiguo felt that this was the only way at hand, and raised his head and said: "Xu Suo, we either don't escort. If we want to escort, we not only have to send the passenger ship away, but also bring it back. Captain Wang alone can't bear it.

"After lunch, let Ma Jintao bring the salted fish back."

Xu Sanye looked at his watch and said with a straight face: "Since Jiang Shang can't be controlled now, let's ignore it for now and inform Jin Da, Captain Wang, Master Zhou and Chen Zikun to come back and rest quickly so that they can join the escort in the evening."

"They all go to 001?"

"Lao Li, tonight you and Lao Zhang will go to 002 and 001. Lao Zhang, your Bailonggang Police Station will also go to 002 and 001. I will take Chen Zikun and the others to 001. They will enforce the law on the river in the future. This is also a I want to see if they get seasick during the training opportunity.”

"yes!"

"By the way, Lao Li, you are an old pre-trial officer. Study the laws and regulations carefully. I don't believe that our public security organs can't deal with those things that cost money rather than life!"
