  From the early morning of the 11th to the 14th, the 12 members of the Jiangxi Pingxiang Red Cross Emergency Rescue Team have carried out search and rescue operations in Poyang, Yugan, and Yongxiu counties, and all have returned to rest.

Work on the assault boat whenever possible

  "As far as the eye can see, a vast ocean."

  This was the first impression of Pingxiang Red Cross emergency rescue team member Huang Donghui after arriving at the scene.

  The Red Cross Emergency Rescue Team of Pingxiang City dispatched 12 members this time. Deputy captain Li Xun introduced that the rescue team was mainly responsible for the search and rescue work of the people in the area of ​​Qiaotou Street in Youdun Street from 9 am to 4 pm on the 11th.

  In the selection of team members, mainly based on water experience and physical fitness as the screening criteria. Nonetheless, before this, many team members had only experienced the test of flooding in Pingxiang, and had little experience in the flood disaster.

  Huang Donghui described that after reaching the disaster site, the launching area is full of unknown, because the flood has already submerged all surface objects. When launching, it is not known what is in the water, especially where the poles and wires are, and it is impossible to know.

  The two assault boats carried by the 12-person rescue team in Pingxiang City were 15 hp and 30 hp respectively. Among them, the 15 hp assault boat was difficult to resist the strong current generated when the levee broke. Therefore, the on-site commander asked the team members not to go into the water easily. May work on the assault boat.

  The charge boat is not absolutely safe.

  Due to the rapid flow of water, there are more water plants, wooden boards, plastic bottles and garbage on the surface of the water. Players on the charge boat need to pay attention at all times and use the paddle board to sweep away the floating objects on the water surface to prevent the floating objects from getting caught on the propeller of the charge boat. The charge boat motor was damaged and shelved.

  Since participating in the large-scale flood rescue mission for the first time, and the complicated water conditions at the disaster site, each rescue team will search and rescue each other in a group, "to a certain extent, the safety of the team members who came out of such a large-scale scene for the first time is guaranteed."

Rescue team members act as "footstools"

  For rescuers, "persuasion" is also a challenge.

  Li Xun, deputy team leader of the rescue team, said that at 11 pm on the 12th, the rescue team was on standby and was sent to Yongxiu County for rescue. It arrived at 10 am on the 13th. The search and rescue mission area was located in Sanjiao Township, Yongxiu County.

  Rescue team members found that some houses had been tilted to varying degrees because they were soaked in water for a long time.

  Even so, some residents still choose to stay behind. For the residents who insist on staying at home, the rescue team has been trying to persuade that if the other party is still unwilling to leave, they will leave some materials in the private house to protect the basic living conditions of the left-behind residents.

  Huang Donghui described that the rescue team had received help from a man in his forties, and an old man was trapped in a house in the middle of the flood. The rescue team dispatched three people, the security officer, the observer and the boatman to the rescue. Huang Donghui and the Long'er Army were among them.

  The three reached the area where the trapped person was located and saw that the first floor of the building had been submerged. Huang Donghui observed that he could enter the room where the trapped person was located by the neighboring building for rescue.

  However, the window of the room where the trapped person is located is extremely small, less than one meter high, and the width is nearly fifty centimeters, and there is no furniture such as a table in the second floor house. The bottom of the window is nearly one and a half meters above the ground.

  After failing to find a tool, Huang Donghui chose to act as a "footstool", allowing the old man to step on himself and send his upper body out of the window. The other teammates carried on the relay transfer and finally got out of trouble.

  The Beijing News previously reported that at 19:40 on July 12, the flood control responsibility section of Datangping Township in Sanxian Lianwei New District, Yongxiu County, Jiujiang City broke down.
