Heart fire

Between Beilin and neighboring cities, there is an "ancient city" 130 kilometers away from the urban area.

It is said to be an ancient city, but it is actually a tourist resort that emerged around a local ancient pagoda a few years ago.Modern people are under great pressure in life and work, and have limited holidays. The operator seizes everyone's psychological needs and creates a so-called ancient city-style scenic spot with mountains and rivers. The interior is dominated by Tibetan-style wooden buildings, which are all wooden structures. .Since its opening, more and more people have gone there, and there are more than 200 registered homestays and inns.

It can be seen from the photos that a large number of buildings in this area are adjacent to each other and every household is connected. Spread around.

Most Tibetan buildings have tall roofs supported by wooden pillars, which are almost equivalent to dry firewood suspended above the flames, and have good burning conditions.In recent years, there have been more and more shops in the urban area, integrating food, housing, transportation and shopping. The flow of people and goods intersects, the fire load is heavy, and evacuation is also difficult.

The fire broke out at around 20:100 noon. After receiving the alarm, the local fire brigade immediately dispatched a nearby squadron and a special service squadron to the scene.At [-]:[-], that is, when Tu Ke was teaching Wen Yue to skip rope in the training room, the provincial corps received a request for reinforcements from the scene and immediately issued a dispatch order. In addition to the provincial special service, three detachments in neighboring cities , more than [-] fire trucks and more than [-] fire fighters are also on their way to the scene.

Ten fire engines of the provincial special service encountered congestion when passing the high-speed toll booth.Tu Ke was about to use the intercom to call the car in front, planning to arrange for the team members to go down to coordinate, but news came from the front, saying that several private cars had voluntarily got off the car, shuttling between the traffic flow to remind them to avoid.

With their help, all the cars merged into one column as quickly as possible, leaving a passage.So it didn't take too much time for the fire truck to pass through the high-speed entrance smoothly.

Before I could express my thanks, ten cars honked their horns at the same time, and there was an immediate response from the car windows.The encouragement of the masses and the silent expectation made everyone suddenly more confident, high-spirited, and rushed to the battlefield with the determination to win.

The superior instructed the secret service to carry eight hand pumps and 2000 meters of hose to support.After listening to the on-site analysis, Tu Ke asked Xi Yang who was driving: "What's the situation with that tower? What's the big commotion?"

The service vehicle was following the rescue vehicle and the troop carrier at a speed of 140 kilometers per hour. Vehicles driving on the same road were actively changing lanes to avoid the sound of the siren.Xi Yang glanced at the number of revolutions on the dashboard, and explained: "It's not a famous pagoda. There are no cultural relics inside, but it also belongs to the city and county-level protection units. The main reason is that the pagoda is on the mountain, and it will be troublesome if it is burned."

Tu Ke realized that the situation seemed to be more serious than expected, so he took out his mobile phone and called Yao Hongwei. Sure enough, he was also rushing to the ancient city with a dozen people from the full attendance headquarters of the corps. The two exchanged information on the scene on the phone. latest situation.

"Their water supply was cut off for more than an hour." Yao Hongwei's voice came from the loudspeaker. "Not only restaurants, but many homestays are also equipped with kitchens for tourists to cook by themselves, so liquefied gas tanks have been exploding. The fire was suppressed half an hour ago, and now it has expanded to the west, south, and north."

"It was interrupted for an hour?" Tu Ke and Xi Yang looked at each other. "what's the situation?"

"There are more than 100 outdoor fire hydrants on the ground, all of which have no water. There are still [-] underground, but there is not enough."

For extinguishing wood burning materials, the amount of water used for fire extinguishing should be at least twice the volume of the material.Tu Ke shook his head helplessly: "This is because the work of 'six familiarization' has not been carried out solidly."

The signal was up and down. Yao Hongwei finally ordered: "Water has been supplied from a long distance from the Liuchuan River two kilometers away. When you arrive, you will cooperate with the commander of the neighboring city. The fire control in the first battle has failed. Next, we must divide and encircle. The fire should be contained in the urban area and not burn to the mountains.”

After hanging up the phone, the two of them thought about each other and were silent for a while before they heard Zhou Tong's intermittent chanting from the back row.

"...The live load of the five types of floor panels is 31 pascals. It takes nine minutes and 40 seconds to burn to failure and penetration at the longest, and the shortest four minutes and 30 seconds..."

"The average collapse time of a light structure truss is about 3 minutes. The steel truss will only heat up and twist, and it will expand by about [-] centimeters when it reaches more than [-] degrees, and it will collapse at [-] degrees..."

After hearing this, Tu Ke rushed to Xi Yang and said, "You are a good little follower."

Xi Yang ignored Tu Ke's joke, but said to Zhou Tong: "The truss is an unpredictable trouble. Even with a lot of experimental data to support it, unexpected things will still happen. Be vigilant."

"Well, I remember." Zhou Tong hugged the helmet tightly in his arms, staring worriedly at the troop carrier ahead. "I'm a little worried about Wen Yue..."

This is the first time that Zhou Tong and Wen Yue have been officially dispatched to the police.Wen Yuebian is in the fire-fighting squadron. If he conducts an external attack, the possibility of encountering danger will be relatively small.If the internal attack is carried out, it needs to face various emergencies just like the rescue team.This is also the first time that they have personally experienced what kind of arduous task the Secret Service Brigade undertakes. They must always face up to difficulties in the most critical and difficult-to-control situations, overcome difficulties that others cannot solve, and turn the tide.

"Trust him." Xi Yang didn't give any useless comfort to Zhou Tong, but just glanced at him in the rearview mirror, and then said: "Trust is very important. Don't waste energy worrying about what will happen, be yourself All you have to do is protect him."

"If we're always worrying about each other, we can't collaborate."

Zhou Tong understood.Whether it is command or execution, any job on the fire field requires complete trust between the commanders and fighters.He must believe that Wen Yue can protect himself when performing tasks, and will actively save himself when he encounters danger. He must also concentrate on calmly predicting all possible scenarios, and be prepared to accurately find him and assist him in escaping.

The provincial special service arrived in the ancient city in just half an hour.After entering the park from the passenger vehicle passage, the fire truck stopped in front of the row of buildings along the street.From the general plan obtained, the buildings in the entire urban area are paved around a small open-air square. In addition to the two main streets that pass through the square and form a cross, there are also a number of narrow lanes that can only be passed by people. It is densely covered.The eaves of the roof are nearly two meters beyond the wall, and the layout is so dense that the roof is almost completely glued together.Living in such a B&B, it is not a problem to open the window to give a high-five to friends next door, borrow a fire, or even call someone from another building to fight the landlord.

The urban area as a whole imitates the style of ancient Yunnan-Tibet towns, and all wooden buildings are hung with fabrics such as sky tents, wind-horse flags and streamers on the overhanging eaves.Except for some catering and small shops selling antiques, most of the rest are homestays and inns, and there are a lot of flammable and combustible materials and daily necessities.A small inn on the east side was the first to catch fire, and it has been burnt beyond recognition. The fire spread to the back row through methods such as spread, heat radiation, and flying fire.

The evacuation work has been completed by the squadron in the early stage. After confirming for the first time that there are no trapped persons, more than a dozen rescue teams are also withdrawing one after another.The management committee of the park and the full-time fire brigade who are most familiar with the situation on the scene are waiting for reinforcements. As soon as they see Tu Ke, they report to him in a hurry: "Leader, there are two water cannons and high-speed spray vehicles operating in the east, west, north, south, and police. And large machinery and equipment have just arrived, but there are grain warehouses and edible oil warehouses in the northwest, and the fire is about to burn through."

Tu Ke didn't have time to ask why the management committee couldn't supply water for the fire hydrant pipe network.At present, the fire in the east has been basically brought under control. After a quick discussion with the head of the neighboring city, he deployed combat orders to all personnel.

"Deploy the forces from the east to the west, and your special service will send out six water cannons and high-speed spray vehicles to help intercept; the detachment is responsible for coordinating the excavator's demolition, and opening up a fire protection zone in front of the forest area; all other personnel are responsible for the external attack. The second search and rescue team. The provincial special service is responsible for the internal attack, focusing on the south and north areas. Send a squadron to ensure water supply, and all the viewing pools on the Liuchuan River and the square will be used!"

It had been nearly three hours since the fire broke out.After the order was issued, all personnel entered the emergency combat state again.The 25-ton heavy-duty water tank truck equipped by the secret service guaranteed the fire-fighting water of the four squadrons, but the fire was still accelerating rapidly, and there were constant explosions in the dense building complex.

After the hose was laid, Xi Yang told everyone before going deep into the roadway: "The voltage stability in this area is very poor, and there are frequent power outages. In order to ensure normal operation, the small inn must provide its own generator. Pay attention to fuel fires and explosions, be careful Cables and wires are entangled. In addition, the squadron leaders and instructors must conduct a quick assessment of the risk of collapse before entering the building. Remember not to rely on the hose to guide you back and forth, and you must use a lifeline!"

Finally, he shouted in a deep voice: "Buildings are replaceable, and your lives are irreplaceable!"

"Roger that!"

"set off!"

...

Until all the attackers left, Zhou Tong didn't see where Wen Yue was.He gripped the walkie-talkie and followed Xi Yang, watching him look up at the large flames and several puffs of smoke on the top of the building complex, and after only a few seconds, he concentrated again and began to deploy the intervention team.

There is less Xiang Yu in the attack force, and the intervention team also lacks two core members. The rest of the number is far from enough to deal with the current large-scale and large-scale fire.Tu Ke reserved a squadron for Xi Yang to deploy, but ordinary rescuers were not familiar with the concept of rapid intervention, so in desperation, he could only divide the remaining six people into three groups and lead the other squadrons in the south, north and west respectively. Gather and stand by.

After Ye Zheng and Wu Wei also left, Zhou Tong was the only soldier left in the temporary command office.He asked Xi Yang anxiously: "What about the east side? Is the east side ignored?"

Xi Yang lowered his eyes and remained silent, before saying after a while: "There are not enough people, so we should focus on the emergency area first."

"Instructor, let me go." Zhou Tong stepped forward, forcing him to face himself. "The situation in the east is a little better, let me go and guard it. I will report at any time, and I will never act without authorization."

"No, you can't go anywhere without me." Xi Yang's attitude was very firm.

"The front needs to be dispatched and commanded, and the rear needs to ensure supply and communication. I understand this. Teacher Xiang is not here, so you must stay at the command office." Zhou Tong suppressed his impatience and tried to keep his tone steady. "Instructor, I know that I am not qualified to be a group leader right now, but please, give me a chance and let me do something for everyone."

"Only the regular network is available here, and the communication is not smooth. After the past, I will report the situation every 8 minutes. Once I lose contact, I will withdraw immediately. Can it be done?"

It was Tu Ke who spoke.

Xi Yang was stunned, and before he had time to react, Zhou Tong assured him loudly, "Yes!"

"Take professional firefighters, they are most familiar with this area." Tu Ke didn't look at Xi Yang, turned around and called a firefighter wearing an orange fire suit with the words "Full-time Gucheng" printed on the back, and turned to him. Inquiry commanded: "How many people are left of you? Five? Okay, go to the east with our special service fighters to stand by and listen to his command on the spot..."

"I don't agree!" Seeing that Tu Ke arranged it on his own, Xi Yang was so angry that he almost wanted to throw something.

This was the first time Zhou Tong saw the trainer lose his temper. Although the voice was not loud, it was very powerful and immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him.

"What do you agree with?" Tu Ke frowned, took off his helmet and threw it on the table covered with blueprints: "You have the final say and I have the final say?"

After finishing speaking, he pulled Xi Yang to the side of the fire truck, avoided the crowd and lowered his posture: "Boss, I'm on a mission! I'm not trying to tear down your walls! Can you save me some face?"

Speaking of this, the instructor comrade still refused to compromise, and he was rarely stubborn.Tu Ke sighed: "You don't trust him, I do. I am willing to trust him, just like I trust you and Lao Xiang. I understand that you want to protect him, but the problem is that you can protect him for the rest of your life, forever. Take it with you? He will grow up!"

"Yes!" Xi Yang gritted his teeth and glared at Tu Ke angrily. "Don't reason with me! He will always be an exception to me! All his life!"

"I...you..." Tu Ke was choked speechless, he held his forehead and rubbed it back and forth: "Damn... why does it feel worse than doing family work?" Disaster......"

The two were at a stalemate. Zhou Tong hid on the other side of the fire truck, and couldn't help sticking out half of his head: "Instructor...Team Tu..."

I don't know how long he hid and how much he listened to, Xi Yang and Tu Ke turned their heads suddenly, and heard him say again: "Don't fight for me... Instructor, can I have a few words with you alone? ..."

When he said this, Tu Ke suddenly felt that he and Xi Yang were a pair of parents who were arguing over which school their child should go to. He was instantly annoyed, so he said, "Hurry up! Don't waste time, this is not At home!" Then he turned and left.

Zhou Tong watched Tu Ke leave, and walked up to Xi Yang, but Xi Yang turned his back in anger and refused to listen to him.Zhou Tong had no choice but to turn around. Unexpectedly, Xi Yang still ignored him, and turned back again. This time, even his mouth was pursed unhappily, and he was a different person from when he faced Tu Ke before.

Looking at his appearance, he knew that he was worried about himself, his chest was filled with pain and soreness, and he immediately forgot what he was about to say.Zhou Tong leaned close to Xi Yang with a beating heart, leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Don't be angry, okay..."

"Not good!" Xi Yang got angry out of nowhere, he didn't care about maintaining his image, he pushed Zhou Tong away and complained in a low voice: "It was agreed that you must follow me closely, how did you agree?"

When did the trainer, who has always been calm and calm, show such grievances? Even if he is the same sex, Zhou Tong couldn't control the urge to hug him and coax him, and suddenly jumped in anxiety.If it wasn't really out of date, he wouldn't care about whether the superior is superior or not, whether the instructor is instructor or not, he wants to...

"I promised..." He couldn't help it, so he had no choice but to lean forward again, grabbed the corner of Xi Yang's fire-proof suit, and gently tugged: "I will follow you closely for the rest of my life, okay? It's not far from here, so I'm not leaving you... As soon as you call me, I'll be right back, and I'm sure I can run faster than Xiao Bian."

For a lifetime...he heard...

Xi Yang bit his lower lip hard, feeling angry and annoyed, his face was burning hot.

"Instructor..." Seeing that Xi Yang was not wearing gloves, Zhou Tong took his cold hand and said, "Brother... can you... trust me once ? I also want them to be proud of me, although they can't see it anymore..."

Maybe it's because of the title "Big Brother", maybe it's because the "they" in Zhou Tong's mouth made Xi Yang think of someone, in short, a seemingly solid iron wall was shattered in an instant, and a fire spread faster than the clamoring outside. , let your heart be like still water, it will surround you and make you boil.

Xi Yang sighed heavily, turned around and looked at Zhou Tong with some disappointment.

Just when Zhou Tong thought he was going to get rid of himself, he heard him say: "I can see it, and there are still people who are still alive. Team Tu, Team Yao, Vice Team Xiang, Wen Yue and everyone." Xi Yang said As he spoke, he raised his hands and stretched out to the top of Zhou Tong's head. Zhou Tong didn't know what he was going to do, but lowered his head obediently and cooperatively.

"This is not an example." The trainer put the helmet on for him, hesitated a little and moved closer, holding his head, and gently touching his helmet with his own.

"Go...go and come back, I'll wait for you here."

"Understood." Zhou Tong held his arm tightly, and could feel his worry and reluctance even through the heavy equipment, so he was reluctant to part with him for a long time, but time was running out.

Firm, calm, no regrets.At the moment when he turned to leave, Zhou Tong thought, what he could and should do, in the face of danger, was too insignificant compared with countless people who went ahead and walked with him, maybe he really didn’t need to be seen by so many people .

Perhaps, as long as this gaze behind him is enough.
