"Duguqiao" set up a lifeline to hit the front line of Sichuan Luding 6.8 earthquake rescue

In Qinggangping Village, which was severely affected, after the earthquake, the turbulent river water was destroyed by the original bridge, and the only channel to the outside world had only a few ropes left. In order to quickly transfer the people who were injured in the earthquake, rescuers opened the road every time, encountering water to bridge, and raised a "lifeline" with a single wooden bridge.

Zhang Guosheng, the captain of the Yajiang Brigade of the Ganzi Forest Fire Detachment: We arrived at the Yanzigou River in front of Qinggangping Village and found that all the roads of entering the village have been intercepted by collapsed earth and rocks because of the turbulent Yanzigou River across the water. We can't pass at all. The only thing that can pass is the two oil ropes across the river. This is the only pass, and it is about 150 meters. It is understood that there are a lot of people who are injured in the village. Some equipment and anti -inflammatory medicines that are urgently needed to be bandaged, and the time did not wait for people. So under the arrangement of the captain of the branch, I took 17 firefighters to finger. The rope entered the village step by step.

Zhang Guosheng, the captain of the Yajiang Brigade of the Ganzi Forest Fire Detachment: The first batch of we went in was a health staff, and the person I brought was the second batch. After entering the village, we transferred the serious wounded to an air yard near the river, and then the health staff bandaged those light woundeds, but these wounded people had to be transferred as soon as possible to get better treatment.

Although rescuers successfully arrived in the village with their strong skills, how to transfer the wounded out has become a problem that must be solved. The only few ropes hanging on the river obviously cannot allow the firefighters with the stretcher to pass smoothly.

Zhang Guosheng, the captain of the Yajiang Brigade of the Ganzi Forest Fire Detachment: The only route to transfer the wounded is the river crossing the river. The first is our logging. We need to harvest and choose a tree shape, and we must reach the standard of load. The second is that when we connect the trunk bridge, the trunk is actually heavier. The area of ​​the boulder in the second middle is relatively small. If you are less, you ca n’t get it up. If you have more people, you ca n’t stand. The water flow is turbulent. If you do n’t connect to the trunk, you ca n’t connect to the bridge. It must reach this length, and it also achieves this hardness, and people can pass safely. In the process of setting up wood, it does take a lot of effort.

After a few hours of hard work, the simple bridge composed of several stumps was finally successfully lifted. At this time, it was already dark, and at the foot was the turbulent Yanzigou River. The rescuers needed to lift the wounded with a stretcher and walk through this nearly 200 meter bridge.

Zhang Guosheng, the captain of the Yajiang Brigade of the Ganzi Forest Fire Brigade: When we handled the wounded, we could only carry the stretcher when crossing the bridge, because many people carried the stretcher forward in the early stage, and only two people could be lifted. The firefighters tied the handle on both sides of the stretcher with the rope, put the rope on the neck, two hands were empty, and the ropes and branches on both sides were supported to keep their body balance. Every step, the feet should move forward closely, for fear that the feet will be lifted forward, and when you step on, you can prevent unstable and slippery feet. This phenomenon is really unimaginable. We just rely on shaking The shaking shoulders and the simple wooden bridge shifted 29 serious wounded overnight.

The farthest household is three or four kilometers away from the bridge. The rescue personnel transferred the wounded to the wooden bridge with a stretcher. After the rescue personnel guarded by the bridge received the wounded, they transferred the wounded to the ambulance of about four kilometers away. Essence There are basically no normal roads to go these four kilometers. The rescue staff walked the river and climbed the mountain, and stepped on the road full of stones. The whole process must be fast and stable. About four kilometers, the rescue workers walked for nearly an hour and sent the wounded to the ambulance. They had no time to rest and continued to transfer the wounded.

Zhang Guosheng, the captain of the Yajiang Brigade of the Ganzi Forest Fire Brigade: Last night we fought to around 9:30. We transferred 29 serious wounded and transferred about 300 people. Firefighters said that the rescue of the lives of the people was always the primary task.Today, because the wooden bridge is the only channel between the road and the village, we have reinforced the bridge to ensure the normal traffic safety of the personnel.Source: CCTV News
