At 10:30 on the evening of August 21st, a mountain fire suddenly occurred in Hutou Village, Xiema Street, Beiyi District, Chongqing City, Chongqing Mountains.

"When the mountain fire just happened, many people didn't pay much attention, and I felt that the fire should be destroyed soon. But I don't recognize this idea." Lao Fu said that it turned out that there was frequent mountain fires abroad. Once it happened Fengshan can sometimes burn for several months. "Beibei has been drought for a long time, and the day when the mountain fire happened, the wind was particularly strong. To be honest, I was very worried at the time."

Lao Blessing has inferred that mountain fires will keep advancing with the wind and continue for a long time. The situation will be much worse than many people think, and should not be ignored. "That night I drafted an first aid measure based on my experience and the first aid knowledge I have mastered and sent it to my colleagues and friends through WeChat. Many people were forwarding what I wrote."

After translating the first aid measures written by Lao Fu into Chinese, the content is as follows:

"To cope with the lack of water cutting, fire caused by the fire, and the thick smoke caused by mountain fires, I suggest that friends who live in Fuxing and Xiema hurry up to do the following things: 1. Full the phone to charge. 2. Take out the emergency photo lights or flashlights at home and fill it with a battery. 3. If there is no reserve of mineral water at home, boil water and fill the kettle at home. 4. Pick up the bucket or basin at home. . Get the clothes drying outside into the house. 6. Close the doors and windows. 7. Friends who are close to the disaster area must listen to the orderly evacuation as soon as possible. We must pay attention to safety, and I hope that there are no casualties. "

Response recruitment application to join the first -line volunteer team

Soon the emergency release of Chongqing City on strengthening the city's forest prevention and fire fighting work, allowing Lao Fu to see the efficient and pragmatic of the Chongqing Municipal Government. After the fire, the volunteer service organizations and citizens of Beibei District of Chongqing actively participated in volunteer services. The Southwest University taught by Laofu was also in Beiyi. The teachers also actively participated in disaster relief and rescue, donated donations, and transported materials.

On the morning of August 22, Lao Fu saw the volunteer convening order in the circle of friends. The volunteers who needed 40 to assemble, repair and use oil saws in Xiema Street, Beibei District. Oil sawing is a very professional cutting tool. Mainly used for sawing trees. Due to the strong oil saw power, after the launch, it will cause the rear bomb due to inertia. If the power is not enough, it is difficult to control it. When doing public welfare abroad, Lao Fu once helped low -income families to repair houses, and was more familiar with the assembly and use of oil saws.

After the mountain fire, Lao Fu saw that many firefighters in the Internet were paralyzed to the ground and were deeply moved. "I feel that I know how many people know how to use the oil saw, and I can't see it. I hope someone can send me up the mountain as soon as possible to help."

Because Chinese is not very good, Lao Fu needs English translation. After the raising is issued, several teachers from Western University immediately expressed their willingness to help. "After the language problem is resolved, I hurry to change the laundry and first -aid box. Volunteer team.

The assembly oil saw actively applied to go up the mountain to open the isolation zone

After the gathering point, the staff members of the old blessing and the applicable volunteers distributed the disaster relief weapon oil saw that needed to complete the assembly task as soon as possible. "The assembly oil saw is a technical work that requires professionals to complete it. After assembly, you need to add gasoline inside, and then test it. After the test is qualified, you can send it to the front line."

Lao Fu and other volunteers quickly acted together, giving play to professional knowledge and technical expertise, and quickly assembled 50 oil saws with quality and quantity. "Although the weather is hot, everyone is doing things very focused. Many people actively say hello to me, and they also sent towels and water to me, which moved me." After the installation and debugging task was completed, "Lao Blessing" took the initiative to apply for the application again. Joining the team to open up the isolation belt, they stayed at the foot of the mountains of Yiyun Mountain, waiting for the motorcycle to send themselves up the mountain.

Lao Fu remembers that the temperature in Beibei on August 23 is very high, at least 43 ° C. "I waited an hour in the sun before I waited for the volunteers who drove to pick up my mountain. These motorcycles played a very important role in the process of supporting mountain fires. High, the motorcycle volunteer who sent me is very thin, I think he is too remarkable, this makes me very moved. "

"Foreigners are here to support us!" When riding a motorcycle up the mountain, many disaster relief staff and volunteers along the way were particularly surprised, and they gave up their thumbs up. Lao Fu said that this is the first time in his life holding a oil saw, sitting through a motorcycle through the town, and climbing up a mountain. Seeing the praise of others, he said that he was really happy, and it was an unforgettable memory for himself. I love China to do my best for Chongqing

Because of security, Lao Fu failed to enter the front line of rescue to participate in the opening of the isolation belt, which made him feel very regrettable. Lao Fu's wife, Ms. Liang, previously said that when she returned home, Lao Fu was worried that the rescue staff encountered difficulties in the use of oil saws. He did not sleep well at night.

New Yellow River reporter learned that Lao Blessing, who has passed the years, is an expert in Steam education at Southwest University. Many students like to listen to his lectures. When he was a PhD in 2008, Lao Fu came to China to carry out academic exchanges with his mentor. "I met my wife in Chengdu and made me fall in love with China. Now we settle in Beiyi, Chongqing, and have a 5 -year -old daughter."

Lao Fu feels that Chongqing is a very open and inclusive international metropolis. The infrastructure such as transportation is very developed and very livable. He will work in Chongqing to retire, and is willing to do his best for the city. "I like Chongqing very much, and I also like Chongqing's food, hot pot and noodles are delicious."
