Jimmy set out on patrol as usual. Today was the last day of the night shift, and he would be able to switch to the day shift soon. Such a reversal of day and night had completely messed up his biological clock, and he didn't sleep very long during the day. If he hadn't returned to the police station at night, He just rested, and he probably had a nervous breakdown.
Not long after Jimmy set out, he heard a mission from the dispatch center. There was a fire in a house in Carmack Town. An ambulance had been arranged and the police were required to maintain order on site. Jimmy looked at his location, which was a bit far away, and responded directly asking the dispatch center to contact the Carmack Police Department and they would handle it themselves.
The county police often play a minor role, because most cases occur in cities or villages and have their own police stations to handle them. The county police are more of a support force and deal with some cases where there are no police stations. responsible case.
The local police can completely handle this kind of order maintenance, and it is even more convenient because they are all locals and are more familiar with it. They can also temporarily arrange other people to hold the cordon.
It's not Jimmy's first day as a police officer, and he doesn't need to join in the fun to gain experience. In fact, if Noah hadn't been more serious and responsible, there would have been no need for them to wander around the western suburbs of Little Rock when they first started training. This was entirely because there were more cases there, which allowed Jimmy to quickly accumulate experience. They are also suspected of robbing the Little Rock Police Department. After all, that area is within the city limits.
Jimmy strolled casually on the road aimlessly. Although the weather was still relatively cold, he still opened the car window. This was also a professional tip, because the population of the United States was relatively small, and there were no villages or residents in large areas. If these places were If something happens, the patrol officer may not notice it. Of course, the average police officer is not interested in taking care of it, because in this environment, there are considerable safety risks for the police. It is better to do less than to do more.
Jimmy is the kind of person who is idle and bored. If he hears a call for help, he can handle it in time. He has been in the life-saving industry for 11 years, and he has not just become a salty fish in the past few months.
Suddenly Jimmy smelled a familiar smell, the smell of wood smoke. This smell was something he had smelled all year round for the past 11 years. There was a fire nearby.
Jimmy looked around and found no obvious ignition point. He stopped the car and felt the direction of the wind and the direction the smoke was coming from. After confirming it, he drove directly in the direction of the smoke. There were several houses ahead, which should be there. There was no obvious fire on the other side, so it was probably simmering inside the house.
Jimmy drove around the road, circled the houses, determined the target, and reported the location directly on the radio.
Jimmy turned on the police lights, sirens, and bass alarms. The violent bass woke up several houses around him, and lights came on in several rooms one after another.
Jimmy went over first and patted the doors of the neighbors next to the burning house, telling them to come out quickly.
A man came out of the house and Jimmy asked, "Hi, is anyone living in the house next door?"
"Yes, Mr. Anderson lives alone."
"Do you have a fire blanket at home? Or give me a quilt."
Jimmy ran back to the police car, took off his equipment, took a blanket from the neighbor, took it to the garden hose, wet the blanket and his coat until the water ran, and then put a wet cloth around his mouth and nose , running toward Anderson's house.
Jimmy kicked open the door and immediately hid aside. The smoke rolled up by the door was rolled out from the door. Only black smoke was seen but no flames were rolled out.
Jimmy ran in while calling "Mr. Anderson". A small part of the carpet in the living room had been burned. Fortunately, it was some distance from the door and the fire hadn't hit yet, but the sofa and cabinets were already on fire.
Jimmy first confirmed that there was no one on the sofa or on the floor, and then ran directly to the back room. If there was anyone, he should be sleeping in the bedroom at this time.
Jimmy kicked open the two doors inside and found a middle-aged man lying on the bed. He didn't wake up due to the huge smoke and dust in the room. Something must have happened.
Jimmy grabbed Mr. Anderson's arms with both hands, covered him with the damp and dripping quilt, dragged him out of the bed, and dragged him directly along the corridor out of the house and out of the house.
After leaving the house, Jimmy immediately ran to the faucet next door to cool down his clothes and pants. When he came out, he was not wrapped in a quilt and was already very hot. Although using cold water to cool down directly would cause him to catch a severe cold. It is much better than directly scalding yourself with high-temperature water vapor.
After dealing with it for a while, Jimmy ran to the police car, reported the situation over the radio, called the fire truck and ambulance, and then returned to Mr. Anderson to do a preliminary check on him.
Anderson must have been drunk, as the smell of alcohol spread after his whole body was heated up. Anderson was still breathing, and his body was very hot, but there was no way to take off his clothes now. The environment outside was still very cold. The neighbor next door donated another dry quilt, took off Anderson's pajamas, and wrapped him in the quilt. Jimmy finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It doesn't happen often that you go in to rescue people without any equipment. When the fire fighters go out, they are equipped with a full set of fire-proof and heat-insulating equipment. Today this is a temporary measure, and the time is relatively short, otherwise the wet quilt will cause harm to people. It is also very large, because the water vapor will be evaporated by the flames, and the evaporated water vapor is very hot and can directly burn people.
Jimmy has been trained. He has just seen the size of the house. He goes in through the door to find someone and then comes out. The time is short enough. This emergency measure can basically ensure that it is within a safe range.
The house continued to burn, and the fire truck hadn't arrived yet, but the ambulance arrived ahead of schedule. The first responders checked Jimmy, and he rushed directly into the fire scene. He had to check once to make sure there were no burns or scalds on his body. The first responders took Mr. Anderson away, leaving Jimmy to continue waiting for the fire truck.
The fire trucks arrived slowly because it was too far from the city. By the time they arrived, the house was almost completely burned. The fire truck doused all the flammable areas around the house with water, and then extinguished the smoking areas in the house. After making sure there were no hidden fires, they packed up and went back. The bill will be mailed directly to Mr. Anderson. No in-person settlement was required, and Anderson was already in the ambulance to the hospital.
Jimmy was sure there was nothing wrong and drove the police car back to the police station. The clothes on his body were still wet. Fortunately, the air conditioner in the car was strong. Jimmy returned to the police station, took a hot shower, changed into his own clothes, and lay down to rest. .
