Jimu Journalist Liu Yi

On August 21, a sudden fire in the streets of Beiwaima Street in Chongqing. From the 21st to 25th, there have been more than 1,700 rescue forces. A large number of citizens spontaneously became volunteers to participate in rescue.

Southwest University is also in Beiyi, and hundreds of teachers and students become volunteers. Some teachers joined the motorcycle army, some regarded themselves as "motorcycles" to send materials to the mountain, and some teachers raised materials in the community where they live ...

As of 5 pm on the 25th, the three fire points in Beiyi District had extinguished two places after hard work.

Run 200 kilometers in 7 hours

"I grew up in Beiyi since I was a child. On the evening of the 22nd, when he saw the fire on the Yunyun Mountain, he wanted to do something, so he asked Moyou to see what could be helpful.

The road on the mountain is very narrow, and the cars are easy to block. Motorcycles are the best tools. That night, he began to carry people and materials to enter the mountain.

"I feel that the rescue workers are very anxious." Teacher Yan said that everyone's expression was very serious, and they and their companions were busy until about 1 am on the 23rd. The next day, Mr. Yan and his colleagues changed his class and went into Yunyun Mountain to help.

High temperatures make many people unbearable. The motorcycle temperature instrument shows that during the day on the 23rd, the environmental temperature on the mountain was as high as 47 ° C. Teacher Yan said that there is a temporary fire isolation zone on the mountain, and only off -road motorcycles can pass. All the riders were divided into groups. The off -road motorcycle was responsible for transporting materials from the mountainside to the earthen road to rescue the front line. Other motorcycles were responsible for transporting personnel and materials from the foot of the mountain to the half mountainside. His car is a pedal car, which can load, so he mainly transports supplies. It is about five kilometers from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside. Because the weather is too hot, and the wide venue in the mountains is limited, the riders will change to work, and change a group of people every one or two hours. Return to a cool place, standing while resting.

Sometimes, in order to bring a little more supplies, the riders will install a large basket behind the motorcycle seat to stuff the inside; sometimes the car running on the mountain is unstable, there will be other volunteers walking, holding the basket all the way, Until the supplies are safely delivered to the place.

How many people have been carried? How many trips? How much supplies have you transported? Teacher Yan said that everyone just thought about giving gifts quickly, sending more things, and not thinking about these. He only knew that he ran 200 kilometers within 7 hours from the afternoon of the 23rd to the evening.

"My wife was worried about my motorcycle, but this time her wife took the initiative to let me ride a bicycle to transport supplies." What made Teacher Yan was pleased, even after the son learned that he was going to help the mountain fire, he even took out his own herself. The toy water gun was given to him, hoping to come in handy.

Teacher Yan also introduced that although the school was not organized, he saw many colleagues and classmates on the mountain. Hundreds of teachers and students in the school became volunteers.

Human chain on the top of the mountain

On the evening of the 25th, Teacher Huang of Southwest University went to Yunyun Mountain with other volunteers. The bus was full of people. From opening up the isolation zone to extinguishing the small film fire, to raising materials, he has been assisting the rescue from the 22nd.

The Yunyun Mountain is not far from Teacher Huang's house, and you can see the fire on the balcony. When he learned that he needed volunteers, he "didn't think too much" and signed up.

Teacher Huang introduced that on the morning of the 22nd, he first went to the mountains to open a mountain fire isolation belt. Although it was working in the woods, the temperature was high, and in order to protect, everyone wore long -dressed trousers. Second-rate. In some places, the mountains are steep, and it is difficult for people to reach. When the large -scale machinery enters the field, the work of opening up the isolation zone will gradually become smooth.

It is more dangerous to participate in the fire directly than opening the isolation zone. Teacher Huang introduced that outside the main fire, there will be sporadic fires in some places, and once they are found, they must be extinguished in time. The high temperature is really hard. The fire can be roasted red. When it can't stand it, everyone wet the body with cold water, and then extinguish the fire. Once, after two hours, everyone extinguished the sporadic fire. During this period, some people could not stand because of high temperature.

Teacher Huang used the "unknown hero" to describe the people who blocked the mountain fire. There are his colleagues in the middle, and more strangers. In the past few days, the actions of the "Unknown Heroes" shocked Teacher Huang.

Teacher Huang introduced that because of the lack of supplies in the mountains, after learning about the news, he found a way to raise it for the first time. After he forwarded the news to colleagues in school, he soon reported to colleagues. In just one hour, 300 backpacks were raised. These backpacks are large and small, all of which are used by everyone daily.

"Charging treasures, ice cubes, and various other supplies ..." Teacher Huang said that some of the supplies donated are at home. If you do n’t have at home, everyone will buy them and send them to the front line.

"There is also a chain on the top of the mountain." Teacher Huang said that with the opening of the isolation band, the newly opened road is getting steeper and the transportation is becoming more and more difficult. Relying on everyone to use back baskets and backpacks, send the supplies a little bit, watching a distance of hundreds of meters, but it takes nearly an hour to go back and forth. The temperature is high, the road is steep and slippery, and people can't stand it for two or three trips. Later, in order to transport the supplies faster, everyone formed a human chain to pass the materials to the front line.

"Chongqing Xiongqi!"

Francis Stonier is a foreign teacher at Southwest University. From the United States, he gave himself a festive name "Fulan Class", and everyone else called him "Lao Fu". In 2018, "Lao Fu" arrived in Chongqing. Today, the mountain fire on the Yunyun Mountain has become the theme of every local WeChat group. In the early morning of the 23rd, "Lao Fu" saw a message in the WeChat group: the person who would repair the oil saw in Xiema Street ...

When "Lao Fu" was in his hometown in the United States, he had used oil saws and cutting trees and sawing wood to help economic difficulty single mothers and their children built a house. In addition, he was better at construction machinery and the like. Someone repaired the oil saw, and he quickly signed up to become a volunteer. When he went out, he prepared clothes and first -aid bags for three days.

"Lao Fu" said that the oil saw is a very professional cutting tool, which is very powerful. It is difficult to master if the physical strength is not good.

After the task of installing and debugging the oil saw, the "Lao Fu" actively applied for the team to join the mountain saw tree. At 3:30 pm on the 23rd, he and other saw trees volunteers went to the mountain.

"Foreigners are here to support us!" When "Lao Fu" took a motorcycle up the mountain, the citizens along the way were surprised, but gave him a thumbs up.

Regarding the recognition of others, "Lao Fu" said that this was the first time in his life with a chainsaw, a motorcycle through a small town, and climbing up a mountain. Seeing that others had a thumbs up to him, he claimed that he was very happy and said it was an unforgettable memory.

Because of security, "Lao Fu" failed to enter the front line of rescue to open up the isolation zone, which made him feel regrettable.

Ms. Liang, the wife of "Lao Fu", said that because the temperature was too high that day, "Lao Fu" had been worried that rescuers would be difficult to use oil saws after returning home, and it was difficult to sleep that night.

For a variety of reasons, the "old blessings" did not have the opportunity to participate in mountain fire rescue in the past two days, but he couldn't help it. Through the video, he said that Chongqing was his family. He hoped that the mountain fire would be extinguished early, and Chongqing started.
