The locals hope to return a clean North 当

At 8:30 on August 26th, after a night of struggle, the bright fire in the junction of Beibei District and Laoshan District was extinguished. At this point, Chongqing has many forest fire exclusion missions. Ma Xiaohui, the commander of the Chongqing Defense Team of the Gansu Forest Fire Corps, was finally relieved. They had been fighting for 14 consecutive days and moved to 7 firefields to fire.

Ma Xiaohui has 100 people in Chongqing for 7 months. Before the fire, they were also special training with the fire prevention business of the local fire organization in Chongqing, and conducted fire protection patrols on the forest areas around the urban area.

Affected by extreme high temperature weather and other factors, the Chongqing forest fire occurred in a short period of time, and the fire of fire was facing many difficulties. In the past half month, more than ten forest fires occurred in Fuling, Nanchuan, Jiangjin, Dazu, Tongliang, Banan, Beiyi and other districts. At present, the Chongqing Forest Fire Rescue Work has been fully transferred to the clean -up stage.

When the mountain fire was burning, many citizens participated in the fire rescue or supported the fire rescue person. Thousands of flashlights flashed, and the narrow fire prevention has also become an unforgettable memory of everyone.

"Never hit such a fire"

"The first few fire fields were relatively easy to handle. It can be done in four or five hours. The damage is smaller.

On August 11, a fire occurred in Laishan District, Chongqing, and more than 10 days later, fires also occurred in Panan, Jiangjin, Dazu and other places. According to media statistics, since August 17, Chongqing has made more than 10 consecutive mountains in many consecutive mountains.

High temperature and drought for many days are the reason for the frequent occurrence of mountain fires in the near future, and it is also the biggest test of fire.

According to the news released by the Chongqing Municipal Emergency Administration, the highest temperature in Chongqing this year reached its historical extreme value, of which the highest 45 degrees in Beiyi District; the high temperature over 40 degrees reached 15 days and the scope reached 31 districts and counties. At the same time, this year Chongqing's precipitation was 70 % less, less than in 2006.

Under the 40 -degree high -temperature heat wave, Ma Xiaohui often felt breathless in the densely vegetation mountain forest. In order to prevent burns from fire, they must put on forest fire prevention clothes, but the strict equipment also blocked quickly to cool down. "Many people hit the fire for a while, so hurry to find a place to unbutton the clothes, and then quickly drink a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water.

But heat stroke happened unknowingly on front -line firefighters. Ma Xiaohui remembered that when the fire was fluttering in the later period, after a high -intensity fire extinguishing battle of 8 hours, a team member could not bear the high temperature of the fire field, which was severely dehydrated. After being replaced by his teammates, he was full of spasm and was unable to insert the straw into the Huoxiang Zhengqi water bottle.

Chongqing Mountain is high in the forest, and the slope is steep enough. Ma Xiaohui described "Wangshan runs to death." Several times, the fire extinguishing point was in front of them, but they went down to the deep ditch, climbed to the steep slopes of 70 or 80 degrees, and it was difficult to reach the fire line around. Some of the roads on the mountain are temporarily opened, and some need to climb up with ropes, which means huge physical consumption. Many fires are high, and water pumps need to be pumped up. This is a greater difficulty for fire extinguishers.

"I have never hit such a fire," Ma Xiaohui said. Previously, he also fired for half a month in a row, but he did not have frequent transitions like Chongqing. A little bit of fire and reinstatement at any time. "The fire here has not been extinguished, the fire there is again, some places are just poured out with water, the fire is gone, the wind blows, and the small smoke is burned again. The body is on the body. Tired, psychologically followed anxiety. "

Since the fire, the National Forest Defense Office and the Emergency Management Department quickly launched a level IV emergency response, and the Gansu Forest Fire Corps was deployed in the Gansu Forest Fire Corps for the first time. Helicopters and more than 1,000 people in the forest fire teams of Yunnan and Sichuan Province reinforced them across provinces, allocating 2 batches, 16634 (sets) materials and equipment support.

"Fire fire"

On the evening of August 21, Huntou Mountain, Huntima Street, Beiyi District, Chongqing, suddenly made a sudden fire. In the next few days, the fire spread from Xiema Huntou Mountain to the Yunyun Mountain National Nature Reserve.

This is one of the worst areas of mountain fire and the most violent place for fire. Hutou Mountain belongs to the Miyun Mountain Pulse. Many local people compare the Yunyun Mountain to "Mother Mountain". They see the thick smoke on the top of the mountain floating into the air. At night, the mountains on the mountain can even smell the burnt smell in the air.

Soon, local residents and social forces joined forces to rescue them in collaborative fire protection. Because the fire on the fire is very steep, the road to the mountain is also very difficult to go. You can only use excavators in the local area to open up emergency channels on the hillside. At the same time, the trees can be opened to open up a quarantine belt to prevent the fire spread.

As of August 25, the second fireproof isolation zone of about 1.36 kilometers was opened. The average width of this isolation belt reached 60-80 meters. 9 pools were excavated along the line. It was equipped with mobile water sources and sprinkler vehicles. The water supply pipeline was laid, and more than 1,000 fire extinguishers were prepared.

But during this period, the mountain fire continued to spread. According to the official news of Laoshan District, on August 23, the fire of mountains and forests appeared in the county counties of Laoshan, and the fire gradually became strong, spreading towards Batang Town Bayi Pond, Bai Shu dumb mouth and other places. The team led by Ma Xiaohui moved from the fire field of Beibei District from the afternoon of the 22nd. He told China News Weekly that the difference between the Beibei fire field and other fire fields in the large area of ​​bamboo forests, which led to the burning of mountain fires very fast, and accompanied by bursting and blasting. At night, the wind suddenly started, and some fire burned up the mountain fire from the downhill, and rushed directly from the side wings.

As a last resort, Ma Xiaohui and his teammates can only retreat back and wait until they are safe. The fire was getting fiercer, Ma Xiaohui felt that half of the sky was red, and the burning mountains in the distance seemed to be a magma eruption, "make people very desperate."

As of 12 noon on the 24th, the mountain fire of the Beibei Yunshan has been burning for nearly 60 hours, and the mountain fire is getting closer and closer to the second isolation of the Yunyun Mountain.

At 1 am on August 25, 304 people sent by the Yunnan Forest Fire Corps began to invest in the Beibei District Firefield. At 10 o'clock, 432 people in the second echelon also reached the designated area for fire extinguishing.

At 20 pm that day, the Yunnan Forest Fire Brigade decided to take a fire to fire. Local media described that this is the final decisive battle.

Wang Lei, deputy minister and director of combat training at the Forest Fire Corps of Yunnan Forest Fire Corps, introduced to the media that the burn starts from 21 o'clock, divided into upper and lower sections, and use the igniter from top to bottom, from bottom to top. Three hours of burning, the longitudinal combustion of the wind fire extinguisher, suppressed the large fire of fire with the pump, led the fire to the scheduled area. Finally, at 0:00 on the 26th, the biggest fire of the northeast line of the entire fire was also blocked by threatening the biggest fire.

Wang Lei said that if it is not blocked, it will develop to the core of Yiyun Mountain. Because the entire fire was burned thoroughly, the fire head was suppressed, and there was no line of fire. "Fire attacking fire" has achieved excellent results.

According to the news of the Emergency Management Department, as of 8:30 on the 26th, after the efforts of all parties, the Minghuo flames throughout the forest fire had been extinguished, and they were completely transferred to the clean -up stage. No casualties and important facilities were lost.

Gorgeous motorcycle team

When the mountain fire was burning, many citizens participated in the fire rescue or supported the fire rescue person.

At the foot of the hill around the fire, you can see girls holding the horn coordinating materials, a takeaway delivery of rice, the father and son carrying the oil saw, the old man who is boiled in the boiled rice, the post -00s of the material ... the local volunteer association The proposal was issued, and the number of hundreds of people was full.

Even those who could not attend the scene were exactly to make a force. The store sent the ice cream to the box, hoping to cool down the front -line personnel; some volunteers took a taxi to return to the city. When the driver learned of it, he resolutely did not want to collect the car fee.

Many roads that go up the mountain cannot driving, and rescue materials and some fire rescuers cannot reach the line of fire, and using motorcycles have become important traffic. With the recruitment order, off -road motorcycle enthusiasts, car shop owners, drivers, takeaways, workers, etc., hundreds of motorcycle friends from all walks of life gathered near the Chaoyang Middle School of Beiwaima Street.

Starting from the 22nd, a 25 -year -old girl and mobs began to ride on the pedal and carried the material with a bamboo basket. She runs the second motorcycle shop in the local area, and she is also a motorcycle enthusiast. "Before, the family said that a girl did not do business when playing motorcycles. This time they didn't say anything, and finally had long faces."

The distance from the foot of the mountain to the mountain is about ten kilometers. It takes half an hour to go back and forth for the male riders, and the mobs take 40 or fifty minutes. Many steep roads are full of stones and dust. The riders need to raise their vigilance and clenched their hands to prevent falling. But even so, many experienced riders inevitably bump. At the same time, the dust of the wheels flies around, and the people's eyes are narrowed to 3 meters, and their faces and body are all dirt.

The motivation of the pedal car is obviously insufficient. After the day, the belt is loose, and the chassis is also broken. That night, she borrowed a off -road motorcycle through several motorcycle groups, which was significantly faster. The mobs counted, she transported at least 20 materials every day.

On the night of the fire of the fire, like the front -line firefighters, many volunteers did not close the eyes overnight. The situation is urgent, everyone is standing at any time, and the riders also gather at the assembly point and wait for the commander's arrangement at any time.

That night, the riders first transported fire extinguishers, iron crickets and other fire extinguishing tools, and then sent water and box lunch. In a higher place, volunteers spontaneously arranged their walls and transported materials. Their headlights were connected to a line, and they were curved towards the fire line.

After the mountain fire was controlled, everyone at the scene boiled and cheered. The mob said that many riders shouted and beer, eating barbecue, and could not help but show off their skills, "as if the game was victorious."

The enthusiasm of volunteers also touched front -line firefighters. Ma Xiaohui said that he has never experienced such a scene. "We hit the fire until five or six in the morning, and they also accompanied us at five or six, and kept sending us water and eating."

"I'm afraid of thirsty, send ice water, popsicles, ice cola, the roadside is afraid of being stubborn, sending yoga mats, darkness in the dark, bringing the road, sending a flashlight." It was said that he first took a motorcycle up the mountain and ate a popsicle on the fire.

According to statistics, Chongqing Forest Fire has invested more than 14,000 rescue forces at all levels, more than 3,100 (sets) (sets) of forest fire extinguishing equipment, 10 helicopters participated in the rescue, and transferred more than 1,800 people in time. Mountain fire prevention at extreme high temperature

On August 27, the fire in Qinglian Town, Fengjie County was extinguished, and forest firefighters were able to rest briefly. But Chongqing's high temperature is still ending, and they are tightly stretched, "everyone is looking forward to Chongqing's next rain."

After the mountain fire, fire, armed police, and citizens began to clean up the garbage, and the locals hoped to return a clean north. In the video shot by netizens, some people carry their baskets and carry their bags, and pick up the leftover lunch boxes, mineral water bottles, etc. on the mountain road. Among them, many of them are children of a few years old.

On the other hand, in the context of frequent high -temperature weather, how to prevent the southern forest fire also attracted attention.

As far as Chongqing is concerned, at present, all districts and counties in the city have released Fengshan Ling, and require all wild fires within 100 meters of forest and forest areas. In addition, the Chongqing Forestry Bureau sent staff to the district and county squatting points to check the implementation of measures and responsibilities.

On August 26, the Chongqing Municipal Government also mentioned at the reporter's meeting that in the future, the forest fire prevention will be strengthened in five aspects, including the concept of strengthening the "prevention of rescue and focusing on". Including the construction of the reservoir near the isolated belt, strengthening publicity and education, and strict law enforcement.

In response to the severe fire prevention situation, the State Forestry Bureau also requested that all localities should take practical and effective measures, strictly prevent death, and scientifically and effective response to high -risk fires.

Up to now, the State Forestry Bureau has emerged in six working groups to carry out forest grassland fire -resistant bags for six provinces and cities including Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Chongqing, and Sichuan. The adverse factors such as the weather and other factors of the local levels are effectively compacting the local fire responsibilities at all levels.

The State Forestry Bureau should also ask for the investigation and rectification of hidden dangers of fire risks under extreme high temperature weather in various places, focusing on high -risk points and enterprises such as transmission and distribution lines, in -forest production operations units, and increase supervision and inspection. Ensure that various fire prevention and control measures are in place. Forest grass operations at all levels should increase the frequency and density of mountains and forests, and timely discover and eliminate fire hazards.

According to the climatic conditions of the northern hemisphere this year, the official decided to make advance deployment of autumn forest and grassland fire prevention. While actively responding to the southern forest fire prevention, it strengthened its prevention of key forest areas in Northeast China.
