159 Accidental fire in a rolling mill (2 in 1 4800 words)
On the way home, Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh, Deputy Factory Director Li was really lucky, this political enemy actually fell by himself.
night.
Suddenly there was a loud noise, which woke up some people in their sleep.
Everyone only heard a few vague and chaotic shouts——
"It's on fire! The rolling mill is on fire! Go and help!"
Hear the words.
Lin Fan jumped up from the bed.
Rolling mill on fire?
This is a big deal.
Hurry, don't delay at all!
He Yuzhu quickly woke up the people in the yard and called on them to get up together to help put out the fire in the steel rolling mill.
"What? There's a fire in the factory?"
Everyone who is woken up from their dreams is very nervous.
This is a steel rolling mill. It provides many jobs for the people nearby. If it is burned down by a fire, it will be over.
Not only that, there are a lot of flammable materials inside. If it is burned by fire, the explosion will definitely level the nearby place.
Everyone quickly put on their clothes and ran towards the direction of the steel rolling mill.
After calling people.
Lin Fan immediately rushed to the factory with He Yuzhu and the uncle.
How could this catch fire?
The only good thing is that the fire has not gotten bigger yet and is still within control for the time being.
Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
If you wait until the fire starts, there will be no way to control it.
After all, the fire protection measures in the 1960s were not yet perfect. If we only relied on the fire protection facilities in the steel rolling mill, we would definitely not be able to extinguish the fire.
Although the fire brigade is on its way, it will take some time.
Within this gap, the people at the steel rolling mill need to control the fire themselves.
Outside the rolling mill.
Factory Director Yang had arrived at the scene early and was standing outside instructing the workers to pile up firebreaks with bags filled with sand.
In this way, the problem of fire expansion is temporarily solved.
As for inside the factory, we need to rely on the firefighters who are on their way.
Workers at the steel rolling mill are not equipped and even if they want to go in and put out the fire, they are unable to do so.
Lin Fan came to Factory Director Yang and asked about the situation.
"Director Yang, what's going on now?"
Factory Director Yang saw Lin Fan and sighed: "It's okay. The fire started mainly in the southwest area of the factory. It's not a warehouse, so there are no combustibles. There is no danger of explosion for the time being. As long as we control the fire within the range
, then it won’t cause too much loss.”
Hearing this, He Yuzhu, who was standing aside, also breathed a sigh of relief.
But when Lin Fan heard this, he frowned.
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, his expression suddenly changed.
Seeing him like this, Director Yang felt his heart skip a beat and asked quickly: "Xiao Lin, what's wrong?"
Lin Fan's eyes were fixed on the southwest of the factory.
"Uncle Yang... is the remaining nitrate used to make blasting gunpowder stored in the southwest area?"
After hearing this, Director Yang's face turned pale in an instant.
Two-thirds of the nitrate shipped from Blue Sky Chemical Plant last time was used, and the remaining one-third has not been used.
Although this third is not a lot, if it is ignited by fire and explodes, it is very likely to affect the southeastern district connected to the southwest district.
What's stored there...is the coal used in the factory to burn steel.
If the fire spreads over there, it will be over.
If the coal in the entire warehouse was ignited by fire, causing a coal dust explosion, then there would be a question as to whether the steel rolling mill could be saved.
This is quite a big accident.
Even the workers standing outside to control the fire may be in danger.
But it was estimated that it would still be about ten minutes before the fire brigade arrived.
Judging from the intensity of the fire, although it is now a little under control, the truck of nitrate is in the southwest area...it is always a huge hidden danger.
what to do?
Lin Fan quickly assessed the situation in front of him.
The current fire is not particularly large, but it is still relatively dangerous.
Judging from the situation, the current fire is mainly at the steel storage facility in the Southwest District. The location of the nitrate truck is still a bit far away...it’s time to come!
Lin Fan decided to drive out the car that contained nitrate!
Lin Fan expressed his thoughts to Director Yang.
Director Yang frowned.
Although he was also worried that the explosion of nitrate in the car would expand the fire tonight countless times, it was very dangerous for Lin Fan to enter the factory and he could not take the risk.
"Xiao Lin, this won't work. You are an important talent in our factory. No matter who goes, we can't let you go... I'll find a worker and ask him to go in and drive the car out."
As Factory Director Yang said, he was about to find workers who were willing to take the risk.
Lin Fan grabbed Director Yang.
"Director, you don't know who has the key to that car... In normal times, Director Zheng, who is in charge of personnel, would know it just by asking, but the problem is that the situation is urgent now and there is not so much time.
.....I took a look and saw that the fire still has some time before it reaches the car, so there is not much danger if I go in."
Director Yang saw Lin Fan's affirmation and was a little confused: "Is there really no danger?"
He Yuzhu was also worried: "Xiaofan, this is no joke... If you don't get it right, something will happen."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on. If it's really dangerous, someone as afraid of death as me would definitely not go in there."
Lin Fan teased himself a little and gave the two of them a confident look.
"I'm going, otherwise it might be really dangerous if I wait any longer."
With that said, Lin Fan stopped explaining to Director Yang and He Yuzhu, directly took a wet towel from a worker nearby, covered his mouth and nose, and rushed in through the entrance where there was no fire yet.
Outside.
Seeing Lin Fan rushing into the factory, Director Yang and He Yuzhu felt their hearts twitching.
Be sure to be okay.
Both of them were praying for Lin Fan in their hearts.
But soon, the two men also started to move and began to direct the workers to control the fire.
before the fire brigade comes.
Lin Fan entered the steel rolling mill alone, so they definitely couldn't just watch.
Apart from them, no one in the courtyard was idle either.
The first and second uncles were working with others to control the fire.
Some people were setting up fire breaks, while others were collecting water and trying to control the fire.
In short, everyone is doing their best.
at this time.
In the steel rolling mill.
Lin Fan bent over, covered his mouth and nose with a wet rag, and quickly rushed to where the car containing nitrate was parked.
Although he didn't find the car keys, it didn't matter.
Most cars produced in the later era are equipped with anti-theft systems, so the method in movies and TV shows of pulling out the two live wires under the steering wheel and connecting them together to start is ineffective.
But this is the 1960s.
Cars produced at this time did not have anti-theft systems.
Therefore, Lin Fan can start the car even without the car key!
But there is currently a problem.
That is, although the fire did not spread to Lin Fan's side, the smoke poured in mercilessly, blocking his vision.
Now, what Lin Fan could see was almost only the two or three meters in front of him.
If it were someone else, he might not be able to find the location of the car.
But the person who came was Lin Fan.
His memory has always been excellent.
...
five minutes later.
Lin Fan followed the route in his mind and successfully arrived at the warehouse where the finished steel was stored.
The car containing nitrates was parked not far from the warehouse.
Lin Fan didn't take a few steps when he saw the car in the thick smoke.
Run quickly.
Come to the car.
The car door is locked.
This is not a thing.
Lin Fan casually picked up a stone from the ground.
Hit the car door handle hard.
After a while, the car door opened.
Of course, the car door must be broken.
But compared with the loss caused by the nitrate explosion, this loss is just a drop in the bucket. It is an exaggeration.
Lin Fan quickly got into the car.
Then he used the stone in his hand to smash open the car body under the steering wheel and pulled out two live wires from inside.
Hold the two wires and touch them.
Sparks flew.
But the car didn't start.
Lin Fan tried again.
"Buzz buzz-"
The car's engine made a revving sound.
Lin Fan wrapped his hands around his clothes and connected the two live wires.
The car just started.
Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator and drove out directly following the route he came from.
The car door couldn't be closed because it was smashed.
Lin Fan didn't have time to deal with the car door now.
In a narrower place.
The car door has arrived.
Lin Fan directly increased the accelerator, and the car suddenly sped out, but the door was missing.
So damn exciting.
Lin Fan took a deep breath.
Although he came in after assessing the risks.
But he had never done anything so exciting in his previous life.
Driving is faster than walking.
It only took about a minute for Lin Fan to drive the car out.
Outside.
Standing are several workers putting out the fire.
Lin Fan honked the horn twice to scare the people away.
After driving the car out of the gate of the steel rolling mill and parking it far away to ensure that it would not come into contact with the fire, Lin Fan got out of the car with confidence.
I got to the back of the car and checked it out.
There are several places on the nitrate bags that are blackened due to the high temperature.
If it had been any later, it might have been set on fire and exploded.
Lin Fan was checking.
Director Yang and He Yuzhu, who were watching Lin Fan drive the car out, jogged over.
I saw Lin Fan was safe and sound.
The old man punched him on the shoulder with red eyes.
"Damn it, you rush in as fast as you want. You're going to scare me to death."
Factory Director Yang also paid tribute to Lin Fan with eyes full of respect.
Although he was the director of the factory, he still lacked the courage to rush into a fire. He would never be like Lin Fan, who just rushed in without a word of agreement.
"Xiao Lin, thanks to you this time... When the fire is under control, I will immediately hold a factory-wide meeting tomorrow to praise you!"
Lin Fan smiled and did not answer.
He doesn't really care about praise from the whole factory or anything like that.
The main reason is that this steel rolling mill also has a new converter that he just built.
I don't want my hard work to be ruined.
"The fire brigade is here!"
Suddenly a worker shouted.
Only then did everyone realize that the sound of the whistle was getting closer and closer.
The fire brigade finally arrived before the fire spread.
The three of them looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, we'll help too."
"Okay."
...
It took several hours of extinguishing.
The fire in the steel rolling mill was finally completely extinguished.
As the representative of the steel rolling mill, Director Yang naturally wanted to express his gratitude to the captain of the fire brigade.
Lin Fan followed behind.
"Thank you, comrade firefighters. If it weren't for you, the property of the people of the country would have suffered heavy losses."
Factory Director Yang shook hands with the fire brigade captain and thanked him sincerely.
The fire chief is a rough, middle-aged man.
"It's nothing, this is what we should do. But this comrade in your factory is worthy of praise for being able to move dangerous goods in an orderly manner in the critical moment."
The fire chief looked at Lin Fan behind Director Yang and said.
They all heard about what Lin Fan did just now.
They all admired an ordinary person for having such on-the-spot reaction and courage.
After all, their fire brigade is protected by firefighting uniforms, but my researcher comrade has no protective measures at all.
There is a big difference between the two.
After listening to the fire captain's words, Factory Manager Yang obviously agreed very much and nodded: "Yes, yes, we have decided to hold a factory-wide meeting to commend Comrade Lin Fan for his important contribution in this fire...
..."
...
dld home.
News of the fire in the rolling mill was quickly sent here.
dld quickly got up in the middle of the night and rushed to the steel rolling mill to check on the situation.
It would be fine if it was just property damage, but if there were any casualties, it would be a serious accident.
dld must also be taken seriously.
When Dld arrived at the steel rolling mill in the driver's car, the fire was already under control.
The fire brigade is much better at putting out fires than the workers.
In addition, the weather today was very good and there was no strong wind, so the fire was put out quickly.
When dld found Director Yang, the fire had passed.
"Xiao Yang, why did the steel rolling mill suddenly catch fire?"
dld asked seriously.
For a steelmaking plant, safety issues are a top priority and are given top priority.
As a result, a fire broke out in the middle of the night today, which was really too dangerous.
Fortunately, the steel rolling mill does not have dormitories for workers. Everyone lives in the yard outside the steel rolling mill. Otherwise, there would definitely be many casualties.
When asked by dld, Director Yang didn't know what to say. He could only lower his head and admit his mistake: "dld, this is my work error... The specific cause of the fire is still being investigated by the fire brigade.
, you should know after a while.”
dld saw that Director Yang had a good attitude towards admitting his mistake, and his expression softened a little.
Director Yang reported Lin Fan's story of coming forward just now.
dld listened and nodded: "Xiao Lin did a good job this time. He is not afraid of danger, brave and resourceful. He is a real talent. When he reaches the steel rolling mill, it is our treasure."
Director Yang strongly agrees.
Lin Fan, who was standing next to the two of them, felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.
This feeling of being complimented by someone in front of your face is amazing.
"Xiao Lin? Xiao Lin?"
Factory Director Yang called Lin Fan from the side, and then he came out of his daze.
When Lin Fan came back to his senses, he saw that it was Dld who was talking to him, but he was thinking about other things and ignored him. Director Yang called him twice.
Come on, this is so embarrassing.
However, this cannot be seen by dld.
"Xiao Lin, what are you thinking about that makes you so obsessed?" Dld asked with a smile.
Lin Fan coughed and said he was wondering why the factory was on fire.
dld also wants to know about this, but until the fire brigade people get the results, no one can speculate much.
finally.
Wait until the professional firefighters make their judgment.
Only then did dld ask the people from the fire brigade.
When the captain of the fire brigade saw Dld coming, he quickly saluted.
"Good leadership."
"Thank you for your hard work, comrade."
dld also replied.
These firefighters are definitely the guarantee of the safety of people's lives and property and deserve DLD's salute.
"Comrade firefighter, I would like to ask what is the cause of the fire?"
"Back to the leader, it seems to be caused by circuit overload."
"Circuits overloaded?"
dld is not a professional and only knows a little about it.
However, Lin Fan stood up and took over the conversation.
"Excuse me, where is the circuit overloaded?"
The fire chief waved and called the inspection personnel over.
"Xiao Zhang, please report your test results just now."
The inspector named Xiao Zhang reported his inspection results: "The cause of the fire in the steel rolling mill this time was due to overloading of the circuit. The specific circuit location was in the motor room in the southwest district, but now it has been burned because of the fire in the motor room.
It’s broken, so we can’t investigate further.”
dld nodded, indicating that he understood.
After the fire brigade people left.
dld looked at Lin Fan and asked: "Xiao Lin, can you solve this circuit overload problem?"
Lin Fan nodded.
"Yes. According to what the inspection comrade just said, it is estimated that the circuit load of the steel rolling mill is too large. In addition, the steel rolling mill has not replaced new motors for so many years, so the problems all came together at once, leading to this fire."
Factory Director Yang couldn't say anything about such professional issues and could only ask some general questions: "Xiao Lin, how long will it take to repair the circuit again?"
"This will require a comprehensive assessment tomorrow to determine which parts are damaged. I definitely can't estimate it now."
dld nodded.
It's so late now. If I continue, I won't have enough energy tomorrow.
Now that the fire has been put out, it's time for the comrades who came to help to go back and rest.
It's not easy for everyone so late at night.
Immediately, Dld and Director Yang sent everyone home.
