Heart fire

The fire in the cold storage is a special fire accident. The situation at the scene is complicated and it is very difficult to put out the rescue. Less than half an hour after receiving the alarm, thirteen fire squadrons, including the provincial special service, 47 fire trucks, and more than 500 firefighters and armed police officers and soldiers , more than [-] public security officers and medical personnel arrived at the scene one after another after receiving the dispatch. The factory area and surrounding roads have been fully guarded and traffic controlled. Seven or eight forklifts and excavators mobilized by the municipal government are entering the park under the command of the traffic police. , approach the burning building.

Everyone knows that what awaits them ahead will be a tough battle. For Yao Hongwei, how to unify command and coordinate operations under the circumstances of multi-department linkage is also a severe test as fire fighting and rescue.

Peiyuanyou Dairy Industry is one of the most important investment projects of the Beilin Municipal Government in recent years. The construction area of ​​the factory area exceeds 1.9 square meters. 3.5kV substation and auxiliary materials warehouse, etc., have a complete production and processing chain, as well as staff canteens and dormitories. It is a large-scale production enterprise with more than [-] management, R&D and production personnel.

On a working day, when the fire was discovered, more than 200 on-duty personnel were working in the office building and various workshops, and more than 30 of them were trapped in the cold storage on the north side where the fire broke out, and the distance between the cold storage and the refrigeration room was less than [-] meters distance.

The general command office was set up in the north of the factory area where it is convenient to observe the fire. The squadron under the jurisdiction that arrived at the fire scene the first time has already evacuated the employees stranded in the office area and workshop together with the person in charge of the fire unit, and deployed a water gun position outside the cold storage. Six water guns and two vehicle-mounted water cannons were deployed to shoot water into the cold storage to prevent the fire from spreading to the main workshop and to cool the refrigeration room at the same time.

According to the type, the refrigeration capacity and freezing capacity of Peiyuanyou cold storage have reached the standard of large cold storage.The storage body of the cold storage is composed of special boards. The inner and outer surfaces of the storage boards are steel and aluminum. The two boards are filled with polyurethane foam plastics that can be used for thermal insulation. This material is very easy to smolder, so the initial ignition point is not easy. It was discovered, and when burning, it will produce a large amount of thick and black smoke with strong shielding properties. In addition, for better heat preservation, the doors and windows of the cold storage have fewer openings and are closed for a long time, and most of them are equipped with air curtains. , Internal attack, evacuation and escape caused considerable difficulties.

If the steel frame structure is heated for a long time, its performance and bearing capacity will decrease, and it will be easily deformed and melted.Although the speed of reinforcements is fast, the top of the cold storage has partially collapsed at this time. In the dry and cold season, the fire is spreading to the buffer room and packaging room at a faster speed, which seriously threatens the safety of the main workshop and refrigeration room. .

The long table was covered with various building structure drawings and fire scene materials. After exchanging opinions with the leaders of the municipal party committee and experts present, Yao Hongwei glared at Zhou Tong who was following Xi Yang. A group of people including asked: "Hurry up and deploy the combat plan, what do you think?"

As a higher-ranking cadre leading the team, the detachment leader was the first to express his opinion: "Now there is no excessive smoke leakage from the windows and roof gaps, which means that the fire has not broken through the outer structure. I think we should continue to investigate and find the fire point first. , don’t blindly launch an internal attack, otherwise a little carelessness will fuel the fire and the situation will become uncontrollable.”

Yao Hongwei nodded slightly to express his approval, but he seemed not very satisfied with the comprehensiveness of the proposal, so he then looked at Xi Yang who was studying the color chart of refrigeration equipment pipes.

"There are not enough people, it's too late." Sensing the following eyes from everyone, Xi Yang put down the blueprint, and calmly gave a judgment after a little thought. "The smoldering combustion is likely to have burned the gaps between the steel plates into cavities. The temperature in the cold storage is too low, and there are few outlets. It is not accurate to judge the development of the fire solely by the amount of smoke."

"I agree with the detachment's opinion to continue the investigation, but the internal attack must also be carried out at the same time." Speaking of this, Xi Yang paused for a moment, seeing that the detachment leader had no intention of objecting, nor did he express any dissatisfaction with his opinion. He went on to say: "The environment of the fire scene and the amount of air exhaled cannot support a long-term investigation, and the layout of high-pressure equipment and liquid ammonia pipelines is too wide. There are more than 20 above the production line alone, between the machine room and the cold storage. There are twelve more, these air supply pipes and air return pipes are full of liquid ammonia and ammonia gas, once they rupture, the consequences of leakage and explosion will be unimaginable, so I advocate immediate demolition and smoke exhaust, and at the same time a deep attack, the first time Close the valve, cut off the source, and plug the leak."

"Occupy the upper floor first." Before Yao Hongwei could express his opinion, Zheng Jiang also said: "But the span and height of the cold storage are quite special, it is difficult for water gunners to break through the blockade of fireworks to reach the upper floor, even if they approach the warehouse door, it is difficult to directly attack the fire. It is necessary to identify the location of the demolition, and provide support and cover for the internal attackers from the flanks."

The two people who thought they would have disagreements and confront each other, actually stood together hand in hand at the critical moment.Yao Hongwei looked at Xi Yang and Zheng Jiang quite unexpectedly, and then issued strict combat instructions to all the commanders and fighters present, and finally he shouted loudly: "Act immediately! Be sure to block the fire within the controllable range, Prevent leaks and explosions, and keep the main workshop!"

...

The dispatch center is still constantly mobilizing troops to the fire scene. Under the command of the head of the corps, the on-site personnel quickly completed the division of tasks such as investigation, internal attack, external attack, demolition and smoke exhaust, and information security personnel.

After Xiang Yu arranged the water supply work of the water rescue squadron, he followed the deputy captain of the detachment to enter the fire scene to investigate the fire.Yao Hongwei stopped Xi Yang, who was assigning tasks, and whispered to him while avoiding the people around him: "The city party committee leader attaches great importance to the report of the intervention team, so let's add people to the fire fighting and rescue first. If something goes wrong, it will be even more difficult to deal with later.”

Before the newly purchased equipment could be used, the reflective strips of the fire extinguishing suit on Xi Yang's body were already worn out.At this time, the temperature outside was close to zero. He took off his helmet, stroked his sweaty hair with his hand without gloves, and looked at the national emblem on the helmet with lower eyelashes: "Captain Yao, we haven't made any mistakes. .”

Of course Yao Hongwei knew that they hadn't made any mistakes, and he was even more reluctant to put psychological pressure on his people at this time, but he still had to tell Xi Yang: "Just because I trust you doesn't mean everyone trusts you. If the intervention team is kept, just bear with it, after this sensitive period, there will be opportunities to prove the necessity of the intervention team..."

Since the establishment of the provincial special service, in the past two years, the role played by the intervention team in every major fire, and the number of firefighters successfully rescued have detailed records and data reports, but such a proud achievement He was no match for a few casual words of suspicion and slander. If the person standing in front of him who said these words was not Yao Hongwei, Xi Yang would never make any concessions.

This is undoubtedly the most serious denial and injury to every soldier who uses his life to rescue his companions.

Cancel the assembly and join another team. Xi Yang didn't know how to explain to his team members, but he had no other way.At this moment, the squadron leader of the jurisdiction that was the first to enter the battle suddenly rushed into the command office, and anxiously reported to the leader of the detachment in charge of directing the rescue: "Report, when I just adjusted the deployment and counted the personnel, I found three members of our team in the cold storage. The soldiers in charge of shooting water and putting out the fire from the western position are missing!"

The most worrisome thing in the fire scene did happen, but the action has just begun. This may be just the beginning. Xi Yang immediately stepped forward and asked habitually, "How long has it been? Have you understood the specific situation?"

The squadron leader said: "At around [-]:[-], the commander had a conversation with them. Afterwards, everyone focused on preventing the leakage of the liquid ammonia pipeline and liquid ammonia tank, and they didn't find out until just now when they were preparing to replace personnel.

"I asked the evacuated people. A director of the logistics department who escaped from the west gate of the cold storage said that three soldiers did rush in after hearing his call for help, and another employee also said that he was rescued by them. The situation later was as follows: I can’t even explain clearly, but the person must still be inside.”

……

On the walkie-talkie, Xiang Yu is constantly reporting the location of the detected fire source, the storage location and quantity of refrigerant, and the degree of threat to the liquid ammonia tank.After obtaining his prediction on the attack route and position setting, the first batch of firefighters who carried out the internal attack had already replaced the squadron under their jurisdiction and entered the fire scene under the cover of multi-functional water cannons and vehicle-mounted water cannons.

Xi Yang looked at his watch, half an hour had passed since the squadron leader described the last call with the three missing team members.

Half an hour is enough for any accident to happen, and the partial collapse occurred within this half hour.

Polystyrene sandwich panels and polyurethane foam will release a large amount of poisonous gas after burning. The three missing fighters are all external attackers who are responsible for cooling the load-bearing components on the periphery. Were they wearing air breathing apparatus when they entered the fire scene?Have you brought all the guide ropes and strong flashlights?Can the volume of air exhaled last for three 10 minutes or six 10 minutes?After entering, in which direction did the three of them go, how long and how far did they go?

Every crucial issue is unknown.

Long before Yao Hongwei called to stop the intervention, Zhang Siqi had already led people to gather at the three demolition sites, and only Zhou Tong and Du Wei were left in the command post waiting for Xi Yang's instructions.Seeing that he was hesitant, as if he was full of worries, the two took the initiative to ask for instructions: "Instructor, let's go."

Going is a must, whether the missing warrior is alive or dead.But the two of them did not meet the echelon standards, and there is no extra manpower to deploy right now. Just as Xi Yang was seriously thinking about the countermeasures, Yao Hongwei suddenly jumped up and denied Zhou Tong's request immediately: "No! Just stay here!"

This shocked many people around, and everyone immediately focused their attention on Xi Yang, waiting to see how his much-loved love would deal with his boss's thunderous wrath.

Sure enough, in the next second, Xi Yang said to Zhou Tong very calmly: "Obey the order."

The scene seemed familiar to both of them.Knowing that Xi Yang was in a dilemma, and knowing that he was also worried about his own safety, Zhou Tong did not take a tough attitude or show any extreme emotions as before, but was still trying to persuade Yao Hongwei: "Uncle Yao, you listen to me......"

One day, just one day before the child could leave the front line, Yao Hongwei didn't want to listen to a word, interrupted Zhou Tong involuntarily, pointed at his back and said angrily to him: "What occasion should I listen to you? You are a soldier now! Go over there and stand in a military posture, without my order, you dare to step out of this command post and try!"

The feeling of that slap on the face that day is still fresh in my memory. Zhou Tong has never been slapped since he was a child. In addition to the pain, what he experienced was more complex emotions mixed with deep love and deep responsibility.He has never been a child who doesn't know what to do, and he doesn't want to contradict Yao Hongwei in public, which would be a waste of his efforts, so he simply gave up trying and turned to Xi Yang: "Instructor, don't wait for later, just now."

Even though he had made up his mind before today to grow up with him and soar high together, but when he was faced with life and death, Xi Yang found that he still couldn't do nothing to watch Zhou Tong go to die, even though he had already died. Full-fledged, confident, with enough courage and ability to go through the storm alone, and still want to be his beacon, as his shield to prevent all harm.

"What..." Xi Yang asked blankly.

"I said, don't wait until later to prove the necessity of the intervention team, just now." Zhou Tong took a step closer to Xi Yang, his unfathomable eyes were gentle and strong, as if he wanted to divert his wandering thoughts from an unknown place. Pull back from the distance.

"I wasted too much time thinking about our future, imagining and expecting a lot of unrealistic things, and now I understand that it's cowardice, it's a sign that I don't trust you and don't have confidence."

"What does it matter if there is no tomorrow? Because there is no tomorrow, you must love, live, and do the right thing, right now." Zhou Tong raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly. Those eyes and the twinkling light in them are unique to that kind of child. His innocence and stubbornness, pride and stubbornness all made Xi Yang's heart tremble suddenly.

"Instructor, I am your soldier, give the order."

What does it matter if there is no tomorrow, what does it matter if you are slandered and misunderstood, everyone who wears this fire suit will have no tomorrow, but even if this encounter is as short as a firefly, it is as bright as a bright moon, they live longer than anyone else All happy, more enthusiastic than anyone else.

Xi Yang still remembers the phrase "I'm sorry, I don't want to write your last words" to Zhou Yi.At that time, he never dared to imagine that death would really come. He just wanted to fight desperately for a chance to spend the rest of his life with his lover, and kept painting a beautiful tomorrow for himself, an unreachable future.

With several complex gazes, Xi Yang raised his head and looked deeply at Zhou Tong: "We don't have a comprehensive grasp of the situation inside the fire scene. If we go in now, we may encounter various dangers at any time. In order to ensure safety, According to the requirements, the internal offensive echelon must be composed of at least three to four people, if Si Qi and Wu Wei are brought back..."

"Xi Yang!" Yao Hongwei was keenly aware of Xi Yang's intentions after only half listening. "Are you going to disobey the order? I will not allow you to transfer any manpower!"

The fearless, caring eyes when Xi Yang and Zhou Tong looked at each other made Yao Hongwei angry like a lion completely enraged.He was furious, and he wanted to cut off Xi Yang's retreat arbitrarily, but at this moment, a voice that sounded casual suddenly sounded behind him, disrupting his rhythm.

"What's the call, isn't there me here?"

Everyone turned around in surprise, only to see Tu Ke, who was wearing a full set of fire extinguishing equipment, was stepping into the entrance of the command office. Facing all the surprised, curious, and questioning eyes, he shrugged indifferently: "What are you looking at me for? I have something on my face. flower?"

"Hurry up and do what you want to do. The captain's position has been suspended, and the firefighter's job has not stopped. I am now an ordinary front-line firefighter. What are you looking at? Have you seen it?"

"Is that right, Deputy Yao?" Tu Ke raised his eyebrows and asked Yao Hongwei intentionally, and then asked Xi Yang: "Captain Xi, what should I do? Do I need to cooperate with Zhou Tong to carry out intervention actions? Give an order." .”
