In the 15 mountain fire rescue volunteers, the news was constantly popping up. Some people want to support it. Zhang Jun, a motorcycle driver who had just slept for two hours, answered the phone and repeated it again: "Now people are sufficient, don't come over, thank you for support."

On the evening of August 21, a fire occurred in Hutou Mountain, Xiema Street, Beiyi District. The fire prevention isolation zone was required on the mountain. Generally, the vehicles were inconvenient and could only transport materials through motorcycles.

"Brothers, Beibei Mountain Fire, a lot of motorcycle drivers come to support!" After verifying the fire brigade, Zhang Junli engraved on the social platform to post news. Soon, the private message was filled with the news of volunteering, and the WeChat group continued to pick up the dragon, and one after another motorcycle rushed to the front line.

At the social donation supplies receiving point at the entrance of Xiaohu Road in Xiema Street, Zhang Jun loaded the fire extinguisher, box lunch, water, rubber shoes, oil saws and other materials, stepped on the accelerator and rushed up the mountain.

Looking at it, all the motorcycles along the road, courier, takeoffs, local villagers, men and women, all come to make a force.

Tan Yutao, a local Sichuan restaurant chef, is also one of them. On the 21st, he saw the fire on the mountain in the distance in the store, so he rode a motorcycle and assisted the rescue as needed. "I have been here since I was a child. The place where I want to dig the isolation zone is my hometown. I can find a way with my eyes closed!" Tan Yutao said.

The temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius. Under the hot sun, the motorcycle drivers are equipped with nearly 50 pounds of materials in the basket. Repeated 30 minutes of steep mountain roads. The sweat was mixed with the dust ... You can see more than 100 motorcycles flying at the scene at any time, at most 2,000 volunteers at the same time.

What is unforgettable is the duty and efficient collaboration

"On the 21st, my teammates and I fluttered the fire in Huntou Mountain; on the 22nd, they extinguished the sporadic fire along the highway to prevent the mountain fire from spreading towards the nearby villages; on the 23rd, all personnel collectively transferred to the reservoir to control the fire; Water pumps and water belts up the mountain, setting up isolation bands ... "Liu Jingqiang, 42, has entered the fire team for 20 years. These days, he and his teammates worked at the high temperature of nearly 50 degrees Celsius. Recently, it was only 10 meters away from Minghuo. When the boots were broken, he found the rope and tied it. When he was tired, he would sleep.

The 22 -year -old firefighter Dong Changjiang, his youthful face was dark. "When the fire was the greatest, the fire belts behind me were burned out by the fire."

Get rush work, catch up. The preparation of the octagonal pond forest fire resistance zone with a length of about 1.36 kilometers and a average width of 60-80 meters has been in place: 9 pools are excavated along the line, with mobile water sources, sprinkler vehicles, paved water supply pipelines, and prepared more than 1,000 people. Fire extinguisher ...

Together with the firefighters, Wang Tian and his teammates, while holding a water gun to flutter the fire, instructing the rescue staff who came to cooperate with the falling Mars. The scene was noisy, and Wang Tian used a whistle and gesture: "To ensure the distance, the wall from the mountain to the mountain. It must be ensured that a Mars must not cross the isolation zone."

The front line of the Fire sent the forest fire rescue forces such as Yunnan and Gansu, and the emergency rescue forces at the two levels of Chongqing City were put into fire extinguishing rescue.

"Ignition!" At 8:37 pm on the 25th, the headquarters ordered that the forest firefighters ignited a dead branch on the mountainside. In the moment, a group of fireballs rose empty.

The main principle of "extinguishing fire with fire" is to ignite the fire head (fire line) and the forest fire burned from each other, so that the joint lack of oxygen and losing the combustion conditions is an effective measure to control a large area and high -energy forest fire.

Why choose the evening of the 25th? Wang Lei, deputy minister and director of combat training at the Forest Fire Corps of Yunnan Forest Fire Corps, went out of the original commission: "Thanks to the wind!" According to the weather forecast, the evening wind direction changed on the 25th, blowing from north to south. The headquarters made a break, and was determined to use the artificially excavated isolation band to burn.

At 22 o'clock, the two fires met, the flames flushed, and a huge light ball appeared on the top of the mountain, illuminating the face of everyone present. At 23 o'clock, Minghuo achieved effective sealing control. Within 3 hours, "extinguishing fire with fire" cut off the fire head nearly 1 kilometer.

At 8:30 on August 26, the fire field at the junction of Beibei District and Laoshan District was extinguished. The two -level emergency rescue team in Chongqing, forest fire rescue teams such as Yunnan and Gansu, thousands of volunteers and enthusiastic people ... countless lights have become infinite power, and together have built the Great Wall of Steel to protect their homes.
