China News Service, Enshi, February 8 (Hu Siyu and Zhou Fan) "Thank you so much, mother and child are safe, and daughter-in-law is in good health." Mr. Luo made a good news call to Qingping Police Station of Xianfeng County Public Security Bureau, Enshi Prefecture, Hubei Province.

  At 2:00 a.m. on February 7, snow fell in Qingping Town, Xianfeng County.

At this time, Mr. Luo's wife's amniotic fluid was broken and she was about to give birth, but the road to the hospital was blocked by a tree that was crushed by heavy snow, making it difficult for the ambulance to move.

In a panic, Mr. Luo called the police for help.

After receiving the police, the Qingping Police Station of the Xianfeng County Public Security Bureau quickly dispatched the police, and at the same time contacted the village committees along the way, asking them to help clear the road.

  In the past few days, Qingping Town, Xianfeng County has experienced blizzards. The continuous low-temperature ice and snow weather has caused the roads to freeze, making it difficult for vehicles to pass.

However, the grassroots police station did not have large-scale snow removal equipment, and the policemen rushed to their destination with all the tools that could clear roadblocks—chain saws and sickles.

  Facing the dilemma of the difficulty of passing vehicles in the snowy weather, the police drove the police car to open the road ahead, followed by the ambulance carrying the pregnant woman.

When the police car drove to the Shenliba section of Qingping Town, the road was completely blocked by trees that were crushed by heavy snow.

The situation was urgent, and the police decided to get out of the car and cut down trees.

  Three policemen, a sickle and a chainsaw, saw one meter open, and the ambulance moved one meter.

The 10-kilometer road lasted 4 hours. At 6:00 am on the 7th, the transfer of pregnant women was completed safely.

  "At least 40 trees were cut down this section of the road." After the incident, Wang Wu, a policeman from the Qingping Police Station of the Xianfeng County Public Security Bureau, had his hands red from the cold.

But he said that being able to successfully rescue pregnant women and usher in a small life is all worth it.
