  After Fang Kunlin and Fang Gengsheng rushed to the fire scene from their homes, they found that the fire was large and spreading rapidly. At this time, part of the roof had been destroyed by the fire. They immediately organized the villagers to carry out early self-rescue, and the two cooperated to control the fire. Spread to the surrounding houses, organize the evacuation of villagers around the fire site, and ask the villagers to contact the power supply department urgently to cut off the power supply around the fire site.

In order to prevent it from spreading to the next house, the two firefighters immediately used bamboo poles to help stab the tiles on the roof of the fire site to splash water on the neighbors, and timely controlled the spread of the fire to prevent the neighboring houses from being swallowed by the fire.

  More than 10 minutes later, after receiving the alarm, the Yunling Fire Station of the Yunxiao County Fire Rescue Brigade dispatched rescue forces to the scene. According to the situation that the fire on the scene had been controlled in time, the commander immediately organized the commanders and fighters to control the water gun position to deal with the remaining fire on the scene. Completely extinguished, after a few minutes of joint fire fighting, this sudden fire accident was completely extinguished.

In this fire accident, the two firefighters Fang Kunlin and Fang Gengsheng organized the villagers to carry out the early firefighting, which in time controlled the rapid spread of the fire and successfully protected the safety of surrounding houses.

  At present, the specific cause of the fire is under further inspection.
