fire rescue

At [-]:[-] p.m., Lingquan City sent armed police and firefighters to come for reinforcements. Afterwards, the Municipal Bureau reported the fire situation in Longzhao Mountain to the province. Vice Governor Chen Jiayi issued instructions, asking Lingquan City to do its best in the fire rescue work. They also arranged for Jinping City, Suijiang City, and Qianling City to organize personnel to go to Lingquan for reinforcements. The Provincial Forest Fire Prevention Headquarters also sent a working group and a team of dozens of people to Lingquan.As of [-]:[-] p.m., thousands of people had gone to the scene of the fire.

It was night, and the flames looked even more coquettish and terrifying against the backdrop of the night. Fortunately, the wind had weakened, and the spread of the fire was slowing down.

Bai Hewei stood on a platform and looked around with his binoculars. On the west side of Longzhao Mountain, which is where Zheng Yi was, the fire had stabilized. The news from Zheng Yi also said that they suppressed the fire. Those inside are guarding the embers. If necessary, they will continue to advance eastward. Because it is already dark, in order to ensure the safety of the personnel, Bai Hewei told Zhou Zhi to stay where they are after reporting.The parts responsible for the rest of the units also put out the fire and excavated the isolation zone within the reach according to the plan. There are currently no casualties.

There are already a lot of people going up the mountain, some of them went down to rest, while others continued to fight. The logistics department had already made countless trips to deliver water and food. At least no one complained that there was no food, and that was enough.

Bai Hewei has been on the mountain all the time, and he doesn't know what's going on down the mountain, but he is very worried. He is not worried about himself, but Zhou Zhi.Before dark, the provincial inspection team sent a team of five people over, apparently to understand the cause of the fire, but in fact to investigate the responsibility for the fire and whether there was leadership malfeasance.Zhou Zhi was temporarily called down to the reception. He handed over the plans and equipment to Bai Hewei, and cursed before leaving.Although Bai Hewei was given a reassurance by Zhou Zhi before, he still felt very uneasy, his right eyelid kept twitching, and he just hoped that it would not affect Zhou Zhi, because his violent temper was obvious to all, and it was also the case that he had disagreements with the leaders in the past. What needs to be argued is that he is about to retire now, so don't let the outbreak affect him at this time.

Time passed by, and there was still no news below. Bai Hewei felt uneasy. At this time, the phone rang, and it was Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi's side was very quiet, without any noise, "Senior."

"Well, what happened?"

"I'm going down the mountain. Our side is pretty good. There are no major hidden dangers. Our leader said to keep people watching the fire at night for fear of resurgence. We will continue tomorrow during the day."

"Okay." Bai Hewei said.

Zheng Yi said again: "I heard some bad news at the foot of the mountain, and I'm a little worried about you."

Zheng Yi got to the point, Bai Hewei's heart rose to his throat, did the thing he was worried about happen?He asked nervously, "What?"

"I heard that the inspection team sent someone over."

Bai Hewei breathed a sigh of relief, "I know, they followed the procedure." He deliberately understated it.

"Are you okay?" Zheng Yi asked cautiously. "Can this fire affect you?"

Bai Hewei smiled, "What can I do?"

"That's good, I'm relieved." Zheng Yi said.

"Are you afraid of affecting me, and then no one will help you transfer to the Forestry Bureau?" Bai Hewei stared at the fire in the distance and asked casually.

Zheng Yi was not angry, but said: "I didn't want to transfer, I just didn't want you to have something to do."

"Hmm..." Bai Hewei's heart moved, and a long-lost warm current rushed into his heart.The walkie-talkie rang suddenly, and Bai Hewei had no time to say anything, so he hung up the phone in a hurry.

There is nothing particularly important on the walkie-talkie, and others who want to know will not say it here. They just said that a few TV stations came to interview, and there are some arrangements that need to be paid attention to at night. The fire is still on and the fire is lit. Throughout the night sky, the air was very bad, and Bai Hewei coughed so much that his chest hurt. He didn't know how many variables would happen in this long night, but he just hoped that the next morning there would be a downpour like Jinping's fire like a godsend. It was good, but a sudden gust of wind made him feel that things were not good.

Zheng Yi went down the mountain, and after walking for several miles, he finally saw Li Dawei halfway up the mountain. He drove a pickup truck with a lot of supplies and dry food for tomorrow morning.Zheng Yi took the cigarette Li Dawei handed him, and as soon as he lit it, Li Dawei said: "I heard that the inspection team is here, and I don't know who will be punished."

"What's coming at this time?" Zheng Yi asked. "Isn't this adding to the confusion?"

"It's called striking while the iron is hot. Only in this way can we achieve success. If the inspection team doesn't find any problems, then there is something wrong with us. I also heard that the deputy head of Dayu Township directly entered the investigation process because of delaying the fighter plane, which was equivalent to dereliction of duty. At least it’s dismissal, and if you look deeper, you won’t know what’s going on, it’s a big deal. We, we do the most work and blame the most.”

Zheng Yi only knew that Lingquan had been caught on fire a few years ago, it was a draining area, and the scale was not as large, and the punishment came down after a long time when people almost forgot, not serious, and later transferred to another place to continue working as a The leader didn't see any impact, so he still did the same thing.

"Also, the welder was arrested, the boss ran away, and the police said that he set up an escape net." Li Dawei continued to peddle his gossip, which sounded very credible.

Zheng Yi's hands trembled, and he almost dropped the walkie-talkie in his hand. "I'm going to make a call." He pushed the door and got out of the car.

"Look how flustered you are." Li Dawei muttered.

Finally found a quiet place to call Bai Hewei. Hearing his voice, Zheng Yi was relieved a lot. He didn't mind the unpleasant words Bai Hewei said. As long as he knew that he was fine, he could rest assured. up.

The night at the fire scene was very noisy, the noise, the sound of the fire extinguisher, and the gradually louder wind, mixed together, making people uneasy.Zheng Yiwo squinted on the pickup truck for a while, looked at his watch after waking up, and found that he had only slept for half an hour, and the fire light in the distance had not diminished.

At this moment, there were explosions and noises. He sat up straight and pushed Li Dawei. Li Dawei fell to the side and woke up immediately. "What's wrong?" He looked around in a panic, feeling uneasy. asked.

"It's chaotic outside, what happened?" Zheng Yi asked.

"Get out of the car and have a look." Saying that, they opened the door and got out of the car.

There are four peaks in Longzhao Mountain, which are undulating from south to north. Among them, the undeveloped strange rock peaks are rugged and steep.Because it is far away from the main peak where the fire is most serious, the fire has not been affected for the time being.The mountain of Qishifeng is basically composed of rocks, the soil layer is thin, and the vegetation is not particularly rich, mainly low shrubs and herbaceous plants.However, the rocks distributed on the mountain are loose, which is a place prone to geological disasters in Dayu Township.It has been tested by the severe cold in winter. Although the temperature has risen, the shady side is still covered with a thin layer of snow.

The north wind that had been blowing suddenly turned to the south wind due to weather changes, and the wind speed was very high. The fire then changed its direction and burned back, and soon spread to the northernmost Qishi Peak.

An unfamiliar voice came from the headquarters below, and arranged for several groups of nearby teams to advance along the line of fire to Qishi Peak to avoid causing a wider disaster.However, the fire progressed too fast, and the mountain of Qishi Peak was scorched by the fire, coupled with the expansion of heat and contraction of cold, some rocks exploded, and gravel and powder were blown everywhere in a short time.

Seeing this scene, the team that was advancing towards Qishi Peak had to stop and did not dare to go hastily. The people at the foot of the mountain were also frightened by this scene and did not dare to move.

What is "a leak in the house happens to rain all night"?That's about it.

The rocks crackled and exploded for a long time, and sparks burst everywhere. Fortunately, there were not many vegetation over there. Even if it burned, it was slowly extinguished because there was no fuel to support it, but people dared not pass it.

The team over there reported the situation on the radio, and the strange voice sounded again: "Pay attention to the team at Qishi Peak, and move on."

Bai Hewei was still wondering why Zhou Zhi was not the one who issued the order just now. At least Zhou Zhi would not issue the order to let the team set off in the middle of the night to chase after the fire. The safety of personnel must be the first priority, but after a while, this person asked everyone Regardless of the gravel burst ahead, continue to move forward.He finally couldn't help it, turned on the walkie-talkie, and asked, "Why do you drive in the direction of Qishi Peak in such a dark day and in the middle of the night?" After working with Zhou Zhi for many years, his habits were also contaminated.

"Who is questioning my order?" the man asked.

Bai Hewei said: "I, the director of the Forest Police Station in Beicheng District, Bai Hewei."

"Do you know who I am?" the man asked again.

"I don't care who you are, the safety of personnel is always the first priority. The vegetation on the Qishi Peak is sparse, and now there is an explosion of rocks. It's dark and the road is steep. Who will be responsible if something happens?"

"Firefighting is lifesaving, don't you understand this truth?"

"Then you can't disregard the lives of the firefighters. No matter what the reason is that I can't command the week, I can't command blindly."

"As far as you know, why is there a fire here?"

"Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Afterwards, the leaders above can deal with me whatever they want, but fire cannot be saved blindly."

Bai Hewei really didn't know who the other party was, and he didn't know whether arguing with this person would affect his career, but no matter how obsessed he was with officialdom and longing for meritorious service, he would never regard the lives of firefighters as nothing.

After a while of silence over there, Zhou Xueqiang's voice came in from the walkie-talkie: "Bai Hewei, it's me, obey the order, and now Director Xing of the Provincial Forest Fire Prevention Headquarters is in command."

Bai Hewei said: "I don't care who is in charge, first of all he must understand the general situation of the fire and the situation of Qishifeng. The vegetation there is not rich, and most of the land types are barren hills and shrubs. It is worth discussing whether it is worth the risk of life to fight the fire. I am not at the bottom of the mountain, and I don’t know the situation, but I know that the explosion over there is very serious. If the safety of the personnel cannot be guaranteed, we can’t proceed rashly.”
