Liushi, North District Fire Rescue Station.
Xu Bo put on his dark blue uniform and yellow helmet and quietly came to the garage.
He struggled to pick up a water gun, held it in his arms, and struggled to turn the switch with his left hand.
With a little exertion, his right hand trembled, and the water gun fell to the ground with a pop.
He bent down with difficulty, and it took him a long time to pick up the water gun again.
After a lot of effort, he finally held the water gun steady and turned the switch.
A white water column spurted out instantly.
Looking at this familiar scene, Xu Bo's eyes instantly became moist.
In order to hold the water gun firmly, he has been practicing secretly in the garage for a long time. As long as he continues to practice and slowly keeps up with the training rhythm of his teammates, he will be able to return to the front line of firefighting in no time.
Thinking of this, he smiled contentedly.
After contacting him for a while, he felt tired, so he took off his helmet and returned to the office.
The teammates had all gone on missions, and the room was empty.
He was a little idle for a while and started to stay in a daze.
Suddenly, orange flames filled the sky before his eyes, and thick smoke billowed in, engulfing him.
There was a "crackling" explosion in my ears, mixed with the sounds of crying and asking for help.
White water jets sprayed on the flames, making them even more intense.
This was a burning house. Fire erupted from the second floor and ignited the entire building.
There were countless debris piled up in the room, and the space was very small. Teammates kept spraying with water guns.
Amidst the noise, a middle-aged woman suddenly rushed over and knelt on the ground, pleading.
"My daughter is still inside, please save her!"
Xu Bo immediately stood up and applied to the captain: "Captain, I have rescued fires in this situation and have certain experience. Let me go. I will ensure that the task is completed and the girl is rescued."
The captain nodded and sent him and another teammate into the fire scene to rescue survivors.
The water cannon sprayed more fiercely, and Xu Bo, who was wearing an air respirator and holding a bright light, was the first to rush in.
He walked ahead with his waist crouched and reached the smoke area on the second floor.
The smoke was so thick that I could only see a few centimeters in front of me, and I had no idea where I was going.
He kept calling the girl's name, and heard a faint response.
The two followed the sound and soon found the girl crying uncontrollably at the corner of the stairs.
The teammate walked in front with the girl, and he followed closely behind.
Suddenly, there was an explosion next to it, and the air became extremely hot.
A wave of heat came over him like a huge wave, and his mind instantly went blank, and he was thrown to the ground.
With the instinct of survival, he immediately got up and ran out staggeringly following the shouts of his teammates in front. I ran to a safe place only to find that my clothes were on fire.
As soon as the clothes were taken off, the skin and flesh on the arms fell straight down along the clothes.
Intense pain hit every part of his body, especially his hands, which hurt to the bone.
"Ah", he couldn't help but exhale in pain, and then he woke up.
Then he showed a wry smile, he was in a nightmare again.
Since returning to work, every time he takes a moment to relax, the fire six months ago will come to mind.
Xu Bo was trembling all over, and the severe pain that had just occurred was still fresh in his memory.
"It seems that I will never forget that day." He thought helplessly and stretched out his hand towards the cup on the table, wanting to drink from it.
This is a pair of hands reborn after a disaster, full of irregular folds and scars, and several fingers cannot be bent.
If you didn't know his experience, you would definitely think that these were the hands of an old man.
However, this is the disability and trauma left by the fire half a year ago.
It is also a symbol of his glory in participating in the rescue of more than 2,000 fires and saving more than 100 people in distress.
During that fire, an explosion suddenly occurred at the scene. Unfortunately, Xu Bo was affected by the explosion and was burned completely. All ten of his fingers were severely deformed.
He suffered third-degree burns on his hands and forearms, second-degree injuries on his legs and neck, and 60% of his body was burned.
Third-degree burns, also known as escharic burns, cause the skin to lose its elasticity and become leathery.
After he was out of danger, he underwent multiple skin grafting surgeries, but the scars remained on his body forever.
His arms and neck were covered with dense scars, which looked very scary.
And he can no longer be like an ordinary person.
Before leaving the hospital, the doctor repeatedly told him not to participate in firefighting missions and to only move around in an air-conditioned constant temperature room. But he insisted on returning to the firefighting front line and returned to the team.
After being discharged from the hospital, he worked hard to overcome the pain, strengthened his exercise every day, and even sneaked into the garage to practice water guns.
All this is for one goal.
Fight on the front line of fire rescue again!
Suddenly, the mobile phone on the table rang.
Xu Bo stretched out his left hand and picked up the phone with great difficulty. As soon as he picked it up, the phone fell on the table again.
He had no choice but to click on the speakerphone and answer the call.
"Hey, Xu Bo, I have some great news for you." On the other end of the phone was his attending doctor, who helped him perform 6 skin transplant surgeries.
The doctor didn't wait for his response and continued talking.
"I just got good news. Sanqing Pharmaceutical has released a special scar removal cream that can treat scars on your body. I have contacted Sanqing Group. They are very supportive and have provided me with some medicines. You Come over as soon as you're free."
Xu Bo couldn't believe it: "Doctor, are you saying that such a serious scar on my body can be healed by just applying some ointment?
"Yes, it is indeed miraculous. If I hadn't read the clinical trial report, I wouldn't believe it. But this is a great thing for you. No matter how effective it is, you have to give it a try. Come here quickly."
Xu Bo was immediately pleasantly surprised and quickly agreed.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at the phone in a daze, as if falling into a dream.
Everything that happened just now was so sudden and surprising.
It was like a beautiful dream, which made him feel at a loss for a moment and couldn't believe it at all.
He has always ignored the scars on his body, ignored their impact, and devoted himself to recovery and work.
Only by maintaining an optimistic attitude can he survive strongly.
But he is not a fool. He naturally knows what this hideous and terrifying scar means and what impact it will have on him. Even now, he still felt the sharp pain of being burned by the flames again from time to time.
This huge trauma, like a huge iceberg lurking under the sea, will surface unconsciously, allowing him to experience the pain of the past again.
To completely solve this sequelae, one must either wait for time to heal the scars, or remove the scars on the body.
In this way, he could pretend that this incident had never happened and completely forget about this nightmare.
Now, finally, there is an opportunity.
He can be a normal person again.
Maybe the fingers will still be disabled, but if all the scars on the body can be removed, it will be a new life.
You know, he is not married yet. After this happened, he had given up the idea of getting married and having children.
But now, a small flame called hope is burning in my heart again.
