The fire is gradually getting bigger,
Zhang Chongbang, who was holding the door open, watched the crowd being evacuated. It was time for him to leave. He put his suit jacket on his head, broke into the flames and ran downstairs...
"boom…"
Zhang Chongbang only ran out a few floors. The grenade he had been holding on to the door exploded due to heat.
Zhang Chongbang raised his head and glanced above. From the power alone, he could tell that it was probably a grenade. He was very glad that he left more than ten seconds early.
….
When Yao Ruocheng got out of the car, he waved with his hands and shouted loudly,
"A police officer was trapped in the flames on the seventh floor..."
"You need to rescue people as soon as possible, don't you hear me?"
Two teams of fire engines came. They got off the car and listened to Yao Ruocheng's shouts. They responded to Yao Ruocheng while connecting the water pipes.
"Hear sir!"
"Hear sir!"
The fire brigade people had just connected the water pipes and before they could flush the water to save water, they heard an explosion on the 7th floor and scattered glass shards across them.
"boom…"
Everyone in the fire brigade stopped. They looked at the 7th floor and silently counted the floors with their eyes...
The 7th floor Yao Ruocheng just mentioned...
And now the explosion occurred on the 7th floor. They all looked at Yao Ruocheng. There were 7 or 8 medical vehicles arriving at the scene. They were comforting the people who came down.
Some in the crowd were shocked, some were shouting, and some were crying.
"It's gone, it's gone, my home is gone..."
"My family's money..."
"It's a good thing we ran fast, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do if there was such a big fire."
"Zai Zai (son), let's stay in a hotel tonight..."
"Dad, do we have insurance?"
Everyone is thinking about their own losses and feels that they have saved a life. It doesn't matter whether they are home or not. There are very few people who can think this way and very few people who can let go.
Yao Ruocheng looked at the firefighter who was stunned on the spot. He walked over and patted the firefighter on the head. He shouted loudly,
"What are you doing!"
"There are still people inside that you need to save. You guys are standing here motionless. What do you mean?"
"Hurry up and do something for me!"
The firefighters woke up at this moment. Everyone nodded and began to put out the fire with all their strength. However, the firefighter captain A Heng came to Yao Ruocheng's side. He said to Yao Ruocheng,
"The fire is getting more and more intense now. It is very difficult for our team members to go up and rescue people."
"What we can do now is to use fire trucks to rescue the first floor first, so that we can have space to go up and rescue people."
Dai Zhuoxian, Aye and Ahu...
The people in Zhang Chongbang's group kept asking questions about the people who survived the fire. The more they asked, the more terrifying they felt. They learned some information about Zhang Chongbang from the citizens.
"There is indeed a sir above who told us to leave."
"I live on the 9th floor, and I happened to see him. He was holding the door on the 7th floor by himself, as if he was entangled in something..."
"The place where the explosion just occurred is on the seventh floor. That sir... may be in danger."
Yao Ruocheng did not see Zhang Chongbang, but Dai Zhuoxian reported the current situation to him. He was even more anxious. He beat the PTU assault vehicle with his hands...
"Ah! It must be Ao..."
"At least a dozen people were injured in this accident. I heard that someone saw someone falling to the ground at the stairs, and someone was trampled..."
"The casualties this time..."
"besides…"
Dai Zhuoxian knew that the matter was very critical. He wanted Dai Zhuoxian to calm down and stop talking about these things. These things could not be known to others.
"Sir Yao, please calm down and don't be so excited."
"If anything happens, calm down now. The Lord may..."
Yao Ruocheng pulled Dai Zhuoxian's collar with his hand. He gritted his teeth and said to Dai Zhuoxian,
"How can I not be excited?"
"How do you want me to explain to Keying (Zhang Chongbang's wife Lan Keying)?"
"this matter…"
"I told Abang about this matter. Now that something like this happens, how can I calm down? Ha! You tell me about it!"
Yao Ruocheng walked to the fire captain A Heng, and he shouted to A Heng irrationally,
"Prepare a fireproof suit for me!"
Fire captain A Heng knew that Yao Ruocheng had a man above him, who seemed to be a close friend of life and death. Now that Yao Ruocheng had lost his mind, he also wanted to save people.
However, he must also think about his teammates...
His team members also have lives. With the current intensity of the fire, it would be very dangerous if he went up...
Ah Heng raised his hands on his chest and signaled Yao Ruocheng to calm down. He would go in, but not now.
Yao Ruocheng has his own responsibilities, and he also has his own responsibilities. Ah Heng must think about his teammates,
"But, Sir Yao..."
"Sir Yao, please calm down, we are professionals. Don't worry, I will try my best to rescue your guy, etc..."
Yao Ruocheng has lost his mind. He feels that the fire chief has not tried his best. He has not considered that fire chief A Heng is also a human being, and his team members are also human beings, and they are all lives...
Saving people at a fire is a very dangerous thing in itself. They are firefighters and have their own responsibilities, but they are not going to die like this...
The first thing firefighters learn is to protect themselves and not be disturbed by emotions.
Yao Ruocheng grabbed the fire chief's collar with both hands. After questioning him for a few words, he turned around to find fire-proof clothing. Yao Ruocheng knew that fire-proof clothing was in reserve.
"What does it mean to do your best? What does it mean to wait?"
"What are you waiting for!"
"My brother is in the sea of fire now! If you don't dare to save him, let me go up! You don't need to be responsible for this matter. If I die, you will tell everyone this..."
"This matter has nothing to do with you!"
Ah Heng looked at Yao Ruocheng helplessly. Yao Ruocheng was the senior superintendent of the East Kowloon Police Station. If something happened to Yao Ruocheng, they and their group would not be able to even think about taking advantage of it.
The two teams of firefighters spraying water around them looked at their captain being held down, and the fire captain's helplessness...
Team member A Cong was looking after the water pipe downstairs. He looked firmly at the team leader A Heng and said to A Heng,
"Brother Heng, let's go in..."
"A firefighter's duty is not only to put out fires but also to save people..."
“…”
Ah Heng looked at A Cong, who had been in the fire brigade for less than a year. He had been in the fire brigade for more than 10 years. Whoever just joined the fire brigade was not like A Cong...
When Ah Heng was grabbed by the team member's family members, she asked why she asked her son and her husband to do dangerous things.
Ah Heng fell silent...
“…”
Even if he was labeled as "incompetent" by Yao Ruocheng, he didn't want A Cong to take risks.
After A Cong was the first to speak, many firefighters stood up. They knew the helplessness of fire chief A Heng, and they were willing to save a policeman...
"Brother Heng..."
"team leader…"
Ah Heng saw all the team members trying to rush into the sea of fire. They were silent for a while and said to everyone,
"I will lead the team this time!"
"Everyone who enters a fire scene must listen to my words! Don't act recklessly! Don't force yourself to save others."
