Chapter 114
Chen Xiaofei divided the nine squadrons into four combat sections. The first combat section consisted of Phoenix Squadron, Mulexiangkou Squadron, and Sanning Squadron. He mainly attacked Building B to intercept the fire and rescue the masses.
At this time, Wang Meng, the captain of the Mule Lanekou Squadron, was leading the soldiers to rescue the trapped people in high-rise buildings by raising platform vehicles. The task of the Phoenix Squadron and Sanning Squadron was to intercept the fire in Building A spread to Building B through the corridor, and search and rescue whether there were trapped people on the 7th floor and below.
The second battle section is also composed of three squadrons, responsible for transferring combustible materials to Building C under construction, and when necessary, the isolation belt is opened to prevent the fire from spreading.
A squadron was formed in the third battle section, and two water cannons were installed to set up water defense lines between Wenhui Shopping Mall and Peony Shopping Mall to prevent the Peony Shopping Mall from being affected.
A squadron was set up in the fourth battle section to ensure water supply in the fire.
In addition, prepare a mobile squadron and prepare to dispatch reinforcements at any time according to emergencies.
Among them, the most dangerous and the most heavy task is naturally the first battle section. Among the two forces in the first battle section, the Phoenix Squadron and Sanning Squadron are the most important because they are about to face the fire head-on.
Building A has formed three-dimensional combustion, and there is no cure to save the disease. The most serious situation is Building B, which has a seven-story corridor with Building A. The fire in Building B is barely controllable, but it may explode at any time. It is a high ground that this fire fighting must be fought for. If the fire in Building B can be controlled, it will be equivalent to preventing the further expansion of the fire.
What's more, there are still a large number of trapped people in Building B.
Ren Yi discussed tactics with He Xun, the captain of Sanning Squadron.
He Xun said: "According to the security guard, the fire point was the pile of goods near the corridor on the first floor of Building A. Because there were a lot of small stalls around, the fire spread quickly and climbed up the stairs. The entire Building A fell within dozens of minutes. The fire spread along the corridor to Building B. At that time, some people ran down, and some people ran up and were trapped."
Ren Yi looked at Building A, which was burned into a fire building in the distance, and Building B, which had been seriously overfired, all the seventh-story corridors were burning. The flames rolled out from the windows of Building A were also constantly licking Building B. Now, at least half of the seventh-story floors below Building B were overfiring, and all the eighth-thirteenth floors above were overfiring. However, Chen Xiaofei had arranged a water cannon to pour it from the top down, and the fire in Building B would not spread up for the time being. The main targets of the current battle are the first to seventh-story floors of Building B, which has a corridor bridge with Building A.
Ren Yi looked at the design drawing: "I think another mobile water cannon should be launched to spray the corridor from the outside, blocking the fire in Building A through the corridor to continue to spread to Building B. Then we enter Building B from the window on the south side of the seventh floor, first observe the situation inside the building, and then search and rescue and extinguish the fire."
He Xun shook his head: "Before you came, the Chief of Staff had already wanted to add another water cannon between Buildings A and B, but the water was not enough, so he only built one."
“Is the water supply very bad?”
"It's not optimistic." He Xun gestured to the firefighting map. "There are 4 fire hydrants around the mall, and there are 4 municipal fire hydrants nearby. The four of the mall did not maintain in time, and they were all frozen. The four municipalities can be used, but the pipe diameter is 300mm, and the distance is damaged, so the water supply cannot keep up. Now it mainly relies on water trucks to supply water. Captain Chen transferred 12 sprinkler trucks from the municipal government, and now he can barely supply three water cannons and several water guns."
“How is the fire hydrant in the mall?”
He Xun smiled bitterly: "Wang Meng said that some can be used and some cannot be used, it depends on luck."
Ren Yi frowned and his face was covered in clouds. In the winter of the north, water supply in the fire site has always been a big problem. Beijing is not very cold, but after the winter begins, each squadron also needs to prevent freezing maintenance of every fire hydrant in its jurisdiction, and will also notify all fire protection key units to maintain their own fire hydrants. However, they cannot supervise every door and every household, so they often encounter this situation where the fire hydrant freezes into ice lumps when it is about to extinguish the fire.
Ren Yi pressed the intercom unwillingly: "Captain Chen, what is the current water supply? We need a water cannon to suppress the fire in the corridor."
Chen Xiaofei quickly replied: "The wind is now longing for the north, and the Peony Shopping Mall is very dangerous. Two water cannons cannot be removed. I am waiting for the municipal sprinkler truck. When they arrive, I will add a water cannon to you."
"How long will it take?"
"Arrival in ten to thirty minutes."
Ren Yi looked at the surging fire. This half hour was probably half an hour to decide whether Building B would have hope of saving. He sighed and discussed with He Xun: "If the fire in the corridor is not blocked, it will be useless if we are extinguished in Building B. We may not be able to wait for that long."
He Xun nodded: "But without water cannons, we cannot destroy the fire in the corridor layer by layer."
Ren Yi stared at the fire and pondered: "Current the anti-aircraft gun down, help us first to suppress the fire in the corridor, so that Wang Meng cannons can be used to temporarily suppress the fire in the high-rise guns, which will take ten minutes."
"You can try it."
Just as Ren Yi was about to discuss this plan with Chen Xiaofei, he watched the water column of the water cannon hang down from the sky like withered flowers - no more water.
"Fuck." He Xun grabbed his hair irritably, "There is no water."
They listened to Chen Xiaofei's roar from the temporary command center beside them.
Soon, Chen Xiaofei ordered the mobile squadron to quickly enter the Peony Mall, and exit four water guns from the window of the Peony Mall to block the fire, and then transfer one of the water cannons to spray the upper floors between buildings A and B.
Ren Yi couldn't ask for water cannons. Now it seems that supplying both cannons is very difficult, and the water supply situation is obviously more serious than he imagined. He gritted his teeth: "Before the sprinkler truck comes, we must control the fire." He looked at the fire protection map repeatedly and finally found some useful information, "He Xun, look, is this a fireproof roller shutter door?"
He Xun glanced at it: "Yes, it turns out that there are fire-proof partitions near the A and B corridors, why doesn't it work?"
"The fire-proof roller shutter door is either disrepaired or has not been linked to the fire alarm. If the fire-proof roller shutter door in Building B can be manually lowered, the fire can be blocked for a period of time."
"Then you have to determine what the fire-proof roller shutter door is malfunctioning."
"You go and contact the person in charge, we..."
"Ren Yi!"
A call suddenly came from behind.
When Ren Yi turned his head, it was Yan Jue.
"Why are you here?!" Ren Yi said in surprise.
"The corps transferred our platform car over."
"Your team has a 100-meter platform car?" Ren Yi was a little envious.
The ultra-high platform car is determined based on whether there are many high-rise buildings in the squadron's jurisdiction. Only a few buildings are not enough, because this kind of car is expensive. The area where the Phoenix Squadron belongs is the old city area and there are no high-rise buildings. The Xijiao Squadron led by Yan Jue has many large factories, so it is equipped with a lot of advanced equipment.
"Yes, we rarely get this car." Yan Jue looked at the building that was swallowed by the raging fire with a serious expression, "How is it now?"
Ren Yi quickly said: "The biggest problem is insufficient water supply. We want to attack the corridor, but there is no water cannon cover. Now we are trying to find a way to put down the fire-proof roller shutter door."
"I'll cover you." Yan Jue's eyes were bright, and it was very bright in the dark. "Our car has a capacity of 40 tons, and we can divide two high-pressure water guns for you."
"That's great." Ren Yi punched Yan Jue's chest, "Wait for me to deploy. He Xun, how many people are you on hand, let's get the group."
Due to traffic control near Wenhui Shopping Mall, Gong Yingxian parked his car far away and walked over, and then leaned on the police ID to pass through the isolation belt and enter the scene.
As soon as he arrived at the scene, he saw Ren Yi and Yan Jue talking seriously, and a kind of aura between the two formed between them.
As far as Gong Yingxian knows, Yan Jue's jurisdiction is far away from here, and he didn't expect to see this person here that he didn't want to see. But it was not the time to eat the taste, so he trotted over: "Ren Yi, what's going on?"
Ren Yi was stunned when he saw Gong Yingxian: "Yingxian, you stay away from the building, it's not safe here."
Yan Jue frowned: "This police officer, this is not the place you should come."
Gong Yingxian didn't even look at Yan Jue in front of her eyes: "I suspect there is arson here."
"Now it is a firefighting scene, not a crime scene. Please leave and don't disturb our work." Yan Jue walked over, "Xiao Wang, take this policeman out."
Gong Yingxian slowly turned his head, stood in front of Yan Jue, looked at him coldly, and said with a frozen face: "This scene is very likely to be a crime scene, and I will not leave at all. Do you dare to bear the consequences of letting the police miss the first scene?"
"Do you dare to bear the consequences of delaying our firefighting?"
"What's wrong with you two? Don't fucking trouble!" Ren Yi said anxiously, "Yan Jue, go and prepare the water gun quickly. Ying Xian. When you are here, you must ensure your safety and do not hinder the rescue personnel."
Yan Jue and Gong Yingxian were both a little dissatisfied, but looking at Ren Yi's expression was cold and firm, which was completely different from his usual laughter and laughing, and he swallowed his words back.
Gao Ge was in group, Ren Yi trotted over. He saw Li Sa at the end of the team and waved: "Come here."
Li Sa walked in front of Ren Yi in a few steps.
Ren Yi grabbed her thin shoulders and stared at her eyes and said, "I originally hoped that the first time you entered the fire was a relatively safer one, but you caught up with a fire that happened once in five years. In the next action, you must fully abide by the orders. Not only my orders, but everyone present is more experienced than you and qualified than you. Can you order you, do you understand?"
Li Sa shouted: "Yes!"
Li Sa returned to the end of the team, and Sun Ding whispered: "People Ren, don't worry, we will look at her and let her feel it on the outside."
Ren Yi nodded and saw He Xun bringing a few people back from afar, he hurriedly met him.
"Sihuo, this person is Wenhui's security captain. He knows the situation of the roller shutter door."
The security captain said: "Leader, the roller shutter door in Building B should not be broken. The reason why it was not put down is that I suspect that the sensor battery has not been replaced for several years, has been out of power, or has been burned out of sensitivity."
He Xun said angrily: "You are such a big shopping mall, and you are still using such backward fireproof partitions now? Isn't this a decoration?!"
If the fire-proof roller shutter door can be put down in time to block the fire, Building B will never be so severely overfired in such a short period of time.
The security captain smiled bitterly: "Anyway, my work must be done, so I will tell you the truth. A few years ago, the firefighter asked for rectification, to change the smart one, the kind that is linked to the fire detector, but the change costs a lot of money. The boss was reluctant to do so, so he changed one or two fire inspections to deal with it."
In his career as a firefighter, Ren Yi was very clear about one thing, that is, no unit in the world has fully qualified fire protection measures. If fire inspections are strictly followed in accordance with regulations, then all commercial and non-commercial places have to be closed and seen too much. Ren Yi faced various irresponsible behaviors on the scene, and from his initial anger to now, he was almost numb.
If something happens, you will naturally be held accountable, but it is not important to hold anyone accountable now. What is important is to save lives and reduce losses.
Ren Yi took a deep breath: "Phoenix Squadron, soldiers of Sanning Squadron, Captain He and I will lead you into the 1-7th floor of the B Building, which is currently the most dangerous at the scene, and manually lower the fire-proof roller shutter door to temporarily block the spread of the fire. Everyone has also seen that water supply is difficult this season and we do not have water cannon support. This will be a difficult and dangerous battle. I ask everyone to obey orders and complete the task while ensuring their own safety."
