Chapter 324 His name is Cao Weidong, I believe him!
What Cao Weidong said is not alarmist.
The sudden strong wind instantly reminded him of the fire that occurred in 1987.
Also in the dense forest.
It’s also May.
Because of a littered cigarette butt, a large area of mountain forest was set on fire.
The fire quickly expanded due to the wind.
It eventually led to a huge forest fire.
Fire spreads extremely quickly.
Only one night.
Hundreds of thousands of hectares of forest areas were all turned into a sea of flames.
In the face of such forest fires, the fire brigade is completely powerless!
And people didn’t know much about forest fires at that time.
I think it's just like an ordinary house fire, it can be put out as long as there is enough water.
This caused everyone to miss the best opportunity to put out the fire.
In fact, forest fire is also a natural disaster.
It can be completely compared to earthquakes and floods.
Human power is simply irresistible.
The most effective solution at this time is to escape!
I still remember the fire at that time. The country mobilized 58,000 soldiers and countless forestry workers to dig out 891 kilometers of fire prevention zones.
At the same time, more than 100 aircraft from the joint Air Force carried out 18 artificial rainfalls.
In the end it took 28 days and nights.
The forest fire was finally brought under control.
However, the fire still took away the lives of 211 people.
Three once prosperous cities were burned to rubble.
Nearly 60,000 people are homeless.
There was a song in my previous life called Mohe Dance Hall.
The protagonist of the story is the victim of this sudden fire.
Cao Weidong felt the increasingly violent wind.
Extremely anxious!
The early stage of a fire is crucial and must not be wasted!
Suddenly his childishness shrank.
.......
Diao Heze found Mr. Ma.
Although he is the head of a county, he cannot overstep his authority and control the army.
After all, the establishment of the fire brigade is still in the army.
And the person responsible for commanding this firefighting operation is Commander Ma.
He is much higher than him at the administrative level.
So he could only honestly seek feedback from Mr. Ma.
After hearing Diao Heze's suggestion, Mr. Ma had a solemn expression.
Dig isolation belt.
Build a fire line.
Control the fire.
Thoroughly clean up burned forest land!
He is not a professional.
But after listening to these suggestions, I feel that the people who put forward these opinions are still very professional.
"County Magistrate Diao, is this friend of yours an expert in fire rescue?"
He asked cautiously.
"No."
Diao Heze recalled Cao Weidong's information.
"He is the director of Linxian Biogas Plant. He used to work in the logistics department of Sijiu City..."
Mr. Ma frowned.
"That means he doesn't have any firefighting experience?"
"But I believe him."
Diao Heze said with certainty.
These words carry great weight.
It's like taking all the responsibility on yourself.
Mr. Ma was moved for a moment.
He looked at the fire scene again.
After dozens of minutes of their efforts, the fire was basically under control.
If we remove manpower and replace fire-fighting measures at this time, will it affect fire-fighting?
Mr. Ma took a deep look at Diao Heze, then turned his head and raised his voice.
"Old Wei, please come here!"
Wei Hongyang is an expert in fire protection.
I have participated in fire rescue operations of various sizes nearly a hundred times, so I am a veteran.
is the field operations consultant for this firefighting operation.
"What's wrong?"
Wei Hongyang ran over wearing a firefighting suit.
Fire helmets are covered with ash from fire fighting.
"County Magistrate Diao has a friend who has some experience in fire extinguishing. He believes that watering alone cannot extinguish fires and needs to be combined with other methods."
Mr. Ma gave an overview of the situation to Wei Hongyang.
"Old Wei, what do you think about this?"
Wei Hongyang shook his head, looking disapproving.
"Forest fires are indeed a little different from previous fire rescues, but it also depends on the situation. With the current level of wildfires, we can quickly put them out."
"And the following county residents have already arrived, bringing enough water sources to eliminate the source of the fire immediately."
He has rich experience and has his own set of judgment methods.
It's just that years of experience have shaped his experience, and at the same time, his absolute self-confidence.
"Comrade Wei, that friend of mine is very reliable. He used to be a buyer in Sijiucheng and later opened a factory..."
Diao Heze tried to persuade Wei Hongyang.
Wei Hongyang almost laughed out loud.
Fortunately, I was wearing a fire helmet.
I’m not afraid that Magistrate Diao will see it.
"County Magistrate Diao, as the saying goes, one has to specialize in one's profession. I started working at the age of sixteen and have been in the fire brigade ever since. I am very familiar with fire conditions, which cannot be compared to that of a purchaser."
What else does Diao Heze want to say.
Wei Hongyang was no longer interested in talking to him and turned to Mr. Ma.
"Chief, my team members are still putting out the fire, so I'm going over."
Master Ma glanced at Diao Heze apologetically, and then said to Wei Hongyang.
"Old Wei, go ahead and take charge of the work."
Wei Hongyang accepted the order, turned around and walked back.
Diao Heze sighed.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He has tried his best, but unfortunately he still cannot convince the other party.
Teacher Ma smiled and encouraged: "Everyone's starting point is actually the same. Anyway, as long as we can put out the fire, we are all good."
Diao Zehe could only respond.
"You're right."
Before he finished speaking, there was a thunder in his ears.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amidst the thunder, a wave of heat hit his face, causing his hair to curl slightly and his cheeks to tingle.
He looked up.
A blazing orange flame formed a curtain wall and slowly pressed towards them.
Wait, what is that?
A curtain wall made of flames!
Diao Heze's expression was dull.
.......
Wei Hongyang looked up at the sea of fire like a curtain wall, his hands and feet were cold.
No.
That is no longer a sea of fire.
But "volcano"!
A mountain made of orange flames!
Firefighters worked hard to spray water hoses in an attempt to extinguish the flames that were rising in the wind.
However, the water dragon was gently rolled up by the flames, and easily disappeared into white clouds and smoke all over the sky, and then disappeared invisible.
At this moment, he deeply realized the meaning of the idiom "a drop in the bucket can make a difference."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
It turns out that water is completely ineffective in the face of forest fires.
No.
The little water they have is completely ineffective.
"No, the chief is still behind."
Wei Hongyang suddenly reacted and turned to look behind him.
Then he saw a scene that shocked him even more.
A figure has a posture as vigorous as a swimming dragon, and moves fiercely like a tiger down the mountain. It rushes all the way, passing through several mountain fires, and rushes directly to Diao Heze and Commander Ma.
Then this figure held Diao Heze and Master Ma under his arms one by one, and rushed out of the sea of fire again.
In the blink of an eye, the place was empty.
There was only the roar of each step and the muffled sound of trees wrapped in flames hitting the ground.
It was rippling in his ears.
Damn!
What happened just now?
Is it a person?
But who can carry two big living people and still run so fast?
Is this really the physical quality that humans should have?
Is this still the physical quality that humans should have?
Wei Hongyang was greatly shocked.
I feel like my three views are about to be shattered.
At this moment, a wisp of fire spread along the weeds and branches to Wei Hongyang's feet.
He woke up from his trance.
He raised his feet to stamp out the flames and shouted loudly through his fire helmet.
"Retreat! Everyone, retreat quickly!"
When the words came to his lips, he suddenly thought of the suggestion he just heard from Diao Heze, so he shouted instead.
"Let the county residents who are following you also evacuate, go to a safe place, go to the downwind, clear the branches and weeds, and build a fire break!"
.......
Someone once said that there is no big deal except life and death.
Rao is a battle-hardened veteran like Master Ma.
In front of the raging fire, my hands and feet were cold and frightened.
He had not experienced this feeling of facing death head-on for many years.
Especially the moment when the giant tree was wrapped in flames and smashed towards him.
It's just that what Commander Ma is worried about is not his own safety, but the team members fighting the fire and the out-of-control fire.
At this moment.
He suddenly felt his body flying around.
There was also a whistling sound in my ears.
Strange, was I blown away by the heat wave of the flames?
But why don't I feel any pain?
He was filled with astonishment.
......
Card!
Cao Weidong took Master Ma and Diao Heze away from the fire and put them on the ground.
"Okay, it's safe here."
Mr. Ma staggered subconsciously.
But he recovered quickly.
"You...saved me?"
Seeing Cao Weidong so young, Mr. Ma was startled.
"Yeah."
Cao Weidong said lightly and casually tore off the burning sleeve.
The situation was urgent just now, so he didn't think much and rushed directly into the sea of fire to save people.
The clothes on his body were also burned by the flames.
Fortunately, no one was injured.
Mr. Ma took a deep look at Cao Weidong and remembered this life-saving kindness in his heart.
Diao Heze held Cao Weidong's hand gratefully.
"Comrade Cao Weidong, thank you, if not..."
Cao Weidong patted the back of his hand and said.
"Let's not talk about this now. It's important to put out the fire. Commander Ma, you have already seen the situation. We need to build a fire isolation belt before the fire gets bigger again."
"This area can only be abandoned."
Commander Ma looked at the firefighters escaping from the fire in embarrassment and sighed.
"You are right. You will be the one to direct this firefighting operation. We will all listen to you."
"This... is good."
Cao Weidong took a deep breath and accepted the errand.
The situation is urgent.
He didn't bother to exchange pleasantries, and he had no time to introduce himself to everyone present.
"I want to see the situation first before making a judgment."
Cao Weidong found a bluestone and jumped on it, raising his eyebrows to watch, observing the wind direction and the intensity of the fire.
Then he turned back and asked Diao Heze for a map of the forest farm.
"This is the map we measured more than ten years ago. The forest land has changed now, but it should not be too different."
Diao Heze handed over a yellowed scroll and added at the same time.
Cao Weidong nodded in response.
After studying the map, he had already paid attention to it.
I asked the person next to me for a speaker, and started shouting orders.
Divide everyone present into three waves.
Start the fire from behind to make sure the fire will not rekindle.
Rush to the front in one wave, cut down trees, and dig isolation zones.
Another wave followed the "head" of the fire, trying to control the fire.
The firefighters looked at each other.
I don’t know whether I should obey the arrangement.
Wei Hongyang shouted at the top of his lungs.
"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you take action? This comrade's order is my order!"
The firefighters no longer hesitated and immediately sprang into action.
Just at this moment, Fatty's firefighting team arrived at the scene.
He saw Cao Weidong commanding the fire officers and soldiers.
Although he didn't understand what was going on, he still waved his arms to Cao Weidong excitedly.
At the same time, he showed off to the people around him.
"The comrade in charge is my friend, he is my friend!"
