The man was rescued after working in a well with a depth of more than 20 meters and collapsed and buried for 4 hours
China News Service, Taiyuan, April 29 (Lu Qi, King Peng) On the morning of April 28, a well wall collapsed in Lishi District, Luliang City, Shanxi Province, resulting in an underground accident involving underground workers. After a four-hour rescue by the Luliang City Fire and Rescue Detachment, the man was successfully rescued without danger to life.
The incident occurred near the railway station in Lishi District, Luliang City. At about 10 am on the 28th, during a downhole operation of more than 20 meters deep, a man suddenly encountered the collapse of the well wall, causing the gravel to be buried under the chest.
After the fighters arrived at the scene of the Beichuanhexi Road Special Service Station of the Luliang City Fire and Rescue Detachment, they found that the diameter of the deep well was more than one meter. The personnel can enter and exit using a simple elevator for construction. The buried man can also talk to the wellhead.
After understanding the situation, on-site commander Liu Jianguo sent an experienced firefighter to the bottom of the well to further understand the bottom of the well and the physical condition of the buried man. Difficulty breathing.
According to the situation on site, the Luliang City Fire and Rescue Detachment Headquarters ordered the rapid removal of underground gravel and rescue. However, the firefighters finally cleared away some of the gravel, and the new gravel slipped from time to time above the well wall, making rescue work impossible to continue.
After urgent consultation again, the whole-service headquarters decided to find some wooden boards to contain the collapsed shaft wall. At the same time, firefighters were assigned to buy glucosamine at a nearby pharmacy to replenish the strength of the buried man, encouraging him to "hold on and never sleep."
After the second rescue started, the firefighting commanders used the well pump to draw water, took turns to dig sand and gravel, and then lifted the sand and gravel out of the well through the bucket.
After accumulating more than 50 barrels of sand and gravel, the firefighters put on safety slings for the buried man and slowly lifted the man with the help of the pulling force of the construction simple elevator.
"Come out, come out." At 14 o'clock, the man who had been buried for 4 hours successfully lifted the well. The on-site medical staff confirmed that he was not in danger of life and was sent to the hospital for treatment.
The fire department reminded that protective measures must be taken for underground operations to prevent collapse of the shaft wall. At the same time, we must pay attention to prevent hypoxia or harmful gas poisoning to avoid accidents. (Finish)
