After receiving the alarm, the local fire department rushed to the scene.

  At 7:20, when the fire rescue personnel arrived at the scene, they found that the burning building was the furniture and sundries in the corridor on the first floor of a residential house. The burning sundries produced a lot of dense smoke, causing 5 people upstairs to be trapped.

One group sent out 2 water cannons to extinguish the fire to control the spread of the fire, and the other group searched and rescued the fired floors, and arranged personnel to evacuate and alert residents around the burning building.

From 7:25 to 7:32, fire rescue personnel searched and rescued 5 people trapped in the dense smoke.
