On July 11, five households in Qiaotingzi Village, Lixi Town, Peng'an County, Sichuan Province were trapped in their homes due to continuous rainfall and rising rivers. The situation was extremely urgent.
After receiving the alarm, the local dispatched 7 firefighters to the scene for rescue and disposal.
The continuous torrential rains in Peng'an County caused the river to rise in Lixi Town, flooding many residential houses and roads.
When the firefighters arrived at the scene, they immediately rescued a trapped person with inconvenient mobility with a rubber dinghy, and then quickly and safely rescued the remaining trapped persons one by one to a safe area using safety ropes.
It is reported that the firefighters rescued and transferred 16 trapped people, of which 2 were injured.
Days of heavy rainfall caused the river in the Qujiang River Basin to surge in the east of Sichuan. The ancient town of Baiyi, Pingchang County, Bazhong City, located on the bank of the Ba River, was hit by floods.
Around 8 o'clock in the morning, 80% of the entire town was flooded, and the flood flooded up to two floors of buildings.
Before the flood, about 8,000 people were evacuated from the town.
In the Barrage Community of Dazhou High-tech Zone, seven trapped people escaped by rubber dinghy with the help of rescuers.
A trapped old man in Heshi Town, Dachuan District, Dazhou City felt that he was too heavy and insisted not to let the firefighters carry it back. It's broken! I'll go by myself!"
