The firefighting operation continued from midnight to dawn. Not only did all the firefighters and 600 basic militias in Luzhuang City all sent to the fire to participate in the firefighting and rescue of food, but Xiao Shufei even called to transfer several fire brigades from Dongwu City, and thirty fire trucks rushed to the scene to participate in the firefighting.

Finally, with everyone's efforts, the open flame that spread almost all the grain storage fire was finally put out.

It was already nine o'clock in the morning. Although the fire had completely stabilized and all the officials involved in the extinguishing of the fire were exhausted and half dead, some meetings and arrangements still had to be done.

When the last open flame was confirmed to be extinguished, while Xiao Shufei asked all departments to continue to stick to her post, she also requisitioned the conference room of the granary warehouse office building, allowing all officials involved in extinguishing the fire to hold a temporary work meeting together.

The meeting was undoubtedly hosted by Concubine Xiao. Concubine Xiao did not say much nonsense and went straight to the topic: "Thank you all for your hard work. This fire in the granary storage warehouse is a tragedy that none of us want to see. The fire in the granary storage warehouse is one of the few serious fires in the road village. A total of fifty grain storage warehouses have been spread by fire. The area of ​​overburden is huge and the fire is extremely fierce, making it difficult for fire trucks to get close to, and the fire extinguishing work is also extremely difficult. However, since it happened, we must use it to face it. Now please ask the functional departments to report their respective results."

When Concubine Xiao said this, she pointed at the Public Security Bureau Director Qian Baoming and said, "Let me ask Director Qian to talk about the current situation of the fire."

Qian Baoming said OK, and then continued: "Secretary Xiao, so far, according to the information received by the fire brigade, all known open flames have been extinguished. Now the fire department is gradually checking for possible hidden fires to ensure that the fire is completely extinguished."

"Then how long does this work take?" Xiao Shufei asked him again.

"I'm sorry Secretary Xiao, I'm not sure about this," Qian Baoming said. "Given the high temperatures in Luzhuang City and the burning of food, it is very likely that internal combustion will not be discovered. I think it will take at least one day to completely determine whether there is still dark fire."

Concubine Xiao said huh and said, "Investigating the hidden fire is the key to the life safety of the rescue personnel and whether other follow-up work can be carried out as usual. Therefore, it is necessary to be serious and responsible, do you know?"

"Please rest assured by Secretary Xiao. I must strictly require all fire departments to conduct repeated verification of each overfire point in detail until it is ensured that there will be no hidden fire and will not delay the development of any follow-up work." Qian Baoming said.

"Also," said Xiao Shufei, "remember that the focus of the inspection is safety, so there must be no rush."

After saying to Qian Baoming, Concubine Xiao turned to look at the Minister of the Armed Forces Department Hong Zhenguo, who was smoky and had a little black face, and said to him: "Since he arrived at the scene, Minister Hong has led the militia to the front line of the fire scene, commanded the militia to cooperate with the work of the fire department, and made indelible contributions to extinguishing the fire. I think it is worthy of praise. I suggest that everyone give Minister Hong some warm applause."

After saying that, Concubine Xiao took the initiative to applaud, and with Concubine Xiao taking the lead, the others naturally applauded.

After applauding, Concubine Xiao Shu continued to say to Hong Zhenguo: "Minister Hong, although you and the militia did a great job in the previous firefighting work, the work you really gave you has just begun."

"The militia was originally a team that obeyed the party's arrangements, maintained social stability and the safety of the people's property. No matter what difficult work there was, we would do our 100% effort to complete it!"

"That's good," said Xiao Shufei. "The fire in the granary storage warehouse this time is too big and the disaster is particularly serious. I need the militia to cooperate with the fire brigade to clean up all overfire grain stocks. This is to check for hidden fires to prevent rekindling. At the same time, it is also to recycle the overfire, already burned and carbonized grains and reuse them as much as possible."

Hong Zhenguo promised Concubine Xiao Shu, "Please rest assured Secretary Xiao, I will definitely publicize Secretary Xiao's instructions to the militia, organize them to chase the remaining brave men, cooperate with the fire brigade to work together, clear out the fire points, and completely eliminate all fire hazards."

Concubine Xiao thought about it and instructed: "Minister Hong, please remember that although all the open flames have been put out now, there will inevitably be some hidden fires that will rekindle. The militia are not professionals after all. Therefore, in the follow-up work of the fire brigade, you must be cautious in your work and ensure your life safety. Don't ask for speed and stability. Do you understand?"

"I will definitely convey Secretary Xiao's instructions to them!" Hong Zhenguo said.

Concubine Xiao then turned her attention to Tang Qihai, the director of the Grain Bureau, and asked him: "Director Tang, as a cadre in charge of grain work, your task is to work with the Bureau of Statistics to count the disaster situation of this fire. How about it? Are the disaster results now coming out?"

"Yes, Secretary Xiao, the preliminary statistics have come out."

Tang Qihai said while taking out a document and handing it to Xiao Shufei, while saying: "According to the situation provided by the fire department, there were 50 grain stocks in the granary storage warehouse this time, and only a few remote grain stocks survived. These remote grain stocks also had few grain stocks, so 50,000 tons of grain were affected, and the direct economic losses, including damaged grain stocks, have exceeded 200 million yuan."

Tang Qihai's report made Concubine Xiao gasp. It was obvious that such a huge number was something she had never expected before.

However, Concubine Xiao did not lose any ruthlessness. She just pondered for a while, and then said to Tang Qihai: "Although the disaster situation in the granary storage warehouse this time is quite serious, we must not give up on food because of choking. Regarding how to store grain that has not been rescued, where to set up temporary storage points for grain, how to strengthen management, avoid the recurrence of fires, and how to carry out the restoration or reconstruction of grain storage, please write a report to me as soon as possible."

"Please rest assured Secretary Xiao, I will definitely organize the staff of the Grain Bureau to speed up the work!" Tang Qihai said.

Hu Xidong, the propaganda minister of Luzhuang City, was the last to attend. At this time, Concubine Xiao said to him: "Minister Hu, I hope the propaganda department can use snacks for the press release on this fire."

After saying that, Xiao Shufei continued: "Not only the propaganda department, but also the party and government departments with the power to speak in the press and speak, all need to cooperate with the propaganda department to contact various media for publicity work. This work is not easy to rescue food and inspect hidden fires to a certain extent. I need all departments to work together to take it seriously."

"Secretary Xiao, please rest assured. The publicity department will definitely do its own job," said Hu Xidong.

Finally, Concubine Xiao Shuxian asked Chen Ping, "Is there anything else to add to Mayor Chen?" After Chen Ping replied that there was no such thing, Concubine Xiao Shuxian announced that the meeting was over.
Chapter completed!
