The high temperature for several days has turned Xianning into a "big oven", but for firefighters, no matter how high the temperature is, once they encounter a fire danger, they have to put on a heavy "cotton jacket" and rush to the front line of the scene. On July 30, the reporter came to the fire rescue station of Guixiang Avenue in Xian'an District, and received the police and practiced with the firefighters to experience the "sourness" under this high temperature.
At half past six in the morning, the temperature had reached 31 degrees, and it was hot and windless. When the reporter came to the fire rescue station of Guixiang Avenue in Xian'an District, the firefighters were running in the morning.
According to Xiong Xiaotian, deputy squad leader of the fire and rescue station, sweating at half past six in the morning is just the beginning of the day. After breakfast, without going to the police, what followed was sorting out the affairs of the barracks, conducting training in formations, and conducting actual combat drills. "In addition to daily training, fire fighting and rescue police, we also have housekeeping, cleaning, team appearance and discipline inspection, etc., through these contents, exercise the style of the team members, improve the sense of discipline."
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining, and the team members gathered in the tactical seminar room to learn theories about aerial rope rescue techniques. According to reports, the squadron will conduct 2 hours of actual combat training every day, although it will train at the wrong time according to the temperature situation, and avoid high temperature periods such as noon, but it will never be canceled because of the temperature. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the scorching sun was obliquely shining, and the sweltering heat made people feel at a loss when standing outside, and the trainees of the theory course had gathered under the fire rescue training tower to conduct practical training on the content of the class in pairs, and the sweat of the trainees soaked the entire clothes.
Until half past 6 p.m., when the reporter who did not hear the bell in the team thought that there was no police situation all day, firefighter Xie Zhongzheng told reporters that he had received more than ten police reports today and was now ready to start dealing with them.
"In summer, there are more police reports such as catching snakes and (removing) hornet's nests, and we usually go out in the evening to remove hornet's nests when the weather is cooler. We have received about 13 cases of this kind of hornet's nest (removed) today. According to firefighter Xie Zhongzheng, because most of the police situations such as removing hornet's nests are scattered in various towns and villages in the district, the four fire and rescue stations in the urban area will each send a small team to different locations to eliminate hidden dangers.
This time, Xie Zhongzheng and his teammate Luo Zijian were responsible for disposing of two hornet's nests in Henggouqiao Township, Jizhen and Jingtou Village, Damu Township. A hornet's nest in Henggouqiao Town is located on the resident's balcony, and the residents have knocked out most of the honeycomb on their own, and the remaining beehive is still crawling with wasps and is extremely aggressive. After observing the situation at the scene, Luo Zijian, with the help of Xie Zhongzheng, quickly put on a bee-proof suit, and immediately treated the remaining beehives with a flamethrower and insecticide, and in less than five minutes, the burned beehives were packed into garbage bags. Although it was only five minutes, when Luo Zijian took off the bee-proof suit, the sweat of Dou Da kept dripping from his face.
When dealing with the beehive at the home of the residents of Jingtou Village, Damu Township, the reporter was fortunate to experience the feeling of wearing an anti-bee suit, and the reporter found that the "bee-proof suit" is a light protective suit made of rubber, which is impermeable to the body and the special material is close to the skin, which makes people very uncomfortable. Although it can effectively prevent wasp stings, at such a high temperature, it is like wearing a thickened "cotton jacket", which is also a big "baking" test.
At this time, Luo Zijian, who had been wearing a bee-proof suit for more than ten minutes, was as if he had been fished out of the water, his face was red, and his whole body was sweating like rain. On the way back, the reporter learned in small talk that the removal of the hornet's nest this season is nothing to them, and today fortunately there was no fire. In the fire, the protective clothing, galoshes, helmets and air breathing apparatus on their backs weighed more than 45 kilograms, and the scorching heat of the fire made their shoes sweat when they took off the protective clothing. As the chat deepened, before I knew it, it was already ten o'clock in the evening when the reporter returned to the fire and rescue station with Xie Zhongzheng and Luo Zijian.
Firefighters, affectionately known as our "Blue Friends", work silently under the scorching sun. They were not born with divine powers, but chose to stand up in times of crisis; They are not fearless, they just keep their fears deep in their hearts and use courage to illuminate the darkness. They are also flesh and blood, and they will also feel tired, but whenever the alarm bell rings, they immediately turn into omnipotent "supermen", interpreting the oath of "going to the soup and fighting the fire and serving the people wholeheartedly" with their actions.
