Changting: Three hours of thrilling "island" rescue

"In the past, it was okay. I didn't expect to come back. It was too scary! Fortunately, the rescuers came in time." On June 13, due to the continuous heavy rainfall, the river in Datong Town, Changting County was soaring, and many places occurred in many places. In the waterlogging, three people were trapped in the "island". At the critical moment, the Governor of Fujian Governor Tingxian Public Security Bureau Datong police station moved "flood" and successfully rescued three trapped people.

It turned out that at 20 o'clock on June 13, the call of Datong police station on duty suddenly sounded, "Someone was trapped! What should I do!" The masses said panicked. According to the information provided by the alarm, three people were besieged by water in the middle of the river in Hejiangkou, Xinfeng Village, Datong Town.

After receiving the police, the Datong police station immediately organized police forces to rush to the scene. It is understood that all the people in the area have been evacuated that day, but the rainwater became smaller in the evening. The three people went to the residence to retrieve the omissions of the leaks. Due to the soaring flood, the three people were trapped on the "island". If it is not evacuated in time, it is likely to be rolled away by floods, and the situation is very critical.

Speaking of time, the police immediately launched tension rescue. Due to the turbulent water flow and heavy rain, the river was still rising, and the rescue encountered a bottleneck.

"What should we do! The river water seems to be getting faster and faster! Save us!" The three trapped people were very unstable on the "island", watching the police eagerly ask for help.

"We will find a way to save you now. You must keep calm and pay attention to safety!" Due to the complex situation at the scene, it was not dangerous to rely on the power of the civilian auxiliary police to be unable to start rescue. The police can only stabilize the mood of the trapped people by shouting and ask the county fire rescue brigade to support. Subsequently, the police and fire rescue workers jointly formulated the rescue of the use of sliding ropes.

Immediately, the fire rescue workers reached the "island" with the help of a kayak to fix the slide rope and put on the life jacket for the three trapped people to check all safety measures. The police worked hard to pull the rope on the other side, ready to pull the masses back to the shore. During the period, the slippery rope shaking left and right in the rainstorm. Several times, they almost lost control and dragged the people's auxiliary police into the river. After nearly three hours of struggle, they finally successfully rescued the trapped people one by one and transferred the trapped people to a safe area.

"At that time, we were too late to be afraid. We just thought that we must bring back the masses safely." Recalling the situation at the time, the auxiliary police officers of the Datong police station said so.
