Starting on August 12, heavy rains hit Chengxian County, Longnan City, Gansu Province. The water level of Nanhe River and Weiba in the jurisdiction exceeded the guaranteed water level, resulting in serious waterlogging in the villages in the jurisdiction. Most of the villagers’ houses were flooded, and the flood water reached the thighs of adults. Local firefighters wore life jackets to search and transfer trapped persons. Rescuers, guided by locals familiar with the situation, carried out carpet search and rescue operations in flooded villages. They used rubber boats to transport the rescued persons to safety. After 2 hours of continuous fighting, a total of 16 people were rescued and transferred, and more than 20 valuable materials were transferred, without casualties. (Editor Lu Jie, Ding Yangma UBM)
