China News Service Jinzhong, June 15 (Lu Qiguo, Zhou Yang) 14 donkeys teamed up to cross Taiyue Mountain in Lingshi County, Shanxi Province. One of the donkeys accidentally fell from the cliff and caused a fracture. From 23:00 on June 14 to 12:00 on 15th, the Blue Sky Rescue Team of Lingshi County and the Fire Rescue Brigade of Lingshi County worked together for 13 hours to rescue the injured and trapped donkey.
When traveling to the Mazhagou area of Taiyue Mountain, these donkeys had to cross a cliff about 4 meters high. Seeing that there was a rope left by other donkeys earlier, a middle-aged donkey crossed first, but accidentally suffered a fall, resulting in a fractured waist and unable to move. As the sky was completely dark and the mountain was steep, coupled with the lack of emergency equipment such as headlights and stretchers, the donkeys could only ask the Blue Sky Rescue Team of Lingshi County for help.
"We received more calls for help at 11 o'clock in the evening." Gao Linfu, deputy captain of the Blue Sky Rescue Team in Lingshi County, introduced him. Captain Wen Haiwen and he led 10 other rescue members in an emergency call. At the foot of the mountain, Wen Haiwen decided to leave 4 people in emergency, and the remaining 8 people arrived at the place where the injured donkey was trapped at 3 am on the 15th.
At this time, the Lingshi County Fire Rescue Brigade has also received an alarm from a donkey friend. Commander Li Zhengzhong led the first batch of 9 firefighters, 6 of them went up the mountain and 4 people responded at the foot of the mountain; another commander Zhang Junwei led 6 firefighters The officer then dispatched and responded at the foot of the mountain.
On the afternoon of the 14th, 14 donkeys from Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province departed from the vicinity of Zhang Song Village, Mahe Township, Lingshi County, Jinzhong City, across the Taiyue Mountains. Among the peers, there are adults and teenagers, as well as men and women.

Since these donkeys had been trapped in the forest for more than 10 hours, Wen Haiwen and Gao Linfu decided to transfer 11 donkeys first, and the remaining two donkeys cooperated with rescuers to take care of the injured donkeys.
At 5 o'clock, the first 11 donkey friends were transferred to a safe zone at the foot of the mountain. At this time, six firefighters of the Lingshi County Fire and Rescue Brigade had brought rescue equipment such as fixed airbags to the place where the injured donkey was trapped. At about 7 o'clock, the rescue personnel of the Blue Sky rescue team returned to the trapped place of the injured donkey for the second time.
"When we two rescue forces negotiated a rescue plan, the most worrying thing was that the wounded could not move at all, and when going down the mountain, they had to pass through three cliffs, some of which are still very high." Li Zhengzhong, commander of the Lingshi County Fire Rescue Brigade, introduced After discussion, they finalized the rescue plan: using the body of the fire department to fix the airbag to fix the injured, and then fix it on the stretcher of the blue sky rescue team to form double protection. When encountering a cliff, use a rope to slide down the stretcher.

The vertical height of the first cliff is about 10 meters, the vertical height of the second cliff is about 20 meters, and the vertical height of the third cliff is more than 40 meters. Every time before the stretcher descends, the Blue Sky Rescue Team of Lingshi County has to fix the expansion bolts on the stones, hang the hangers, and fasten the ropes, and then the rescuers will protect the stretcher and slide slowly.
The rescue was extremely difficult. In order to ensure that no secondary injuries are caused to the injured, every rescue action must be carried out carefully. If so, it would take almost 40 minutes to pass only the third cliff.
At 12:30, the injured donkey was finally carried to the foot of the mountain. At this time, 13 hours had passed since the donkey first asked for help.
On the afternoon of the 15th, the injured donkey had been transferred to a medical institution in Taiyuan for medical treatment.
Fire department reminded: In recent years, outdoor sports have continued to heat up. However, while getting close to nature and challenging the limits, donkeys must put personal safety first: For undeveloped and dangerous mountainous areas, it is best not to risk crossing; if you encounter dangerous areas such as cliffs during the crossing, you would rather not give up Overestimate your own strength and venture across.
