China News Service, Changsha, May 5th (Reporter Liu Shuangshuang Yang Huafeng) This is a rescue in a race against time, and it is also a life dialogue that empowers each other.
In the early morning of the 5th, Cai Junqiu, the head of the Ansha Center Fire Station of the Changsha Fire Rescue Detachment, who participated in the rescue of the four trapped people, choked up when he recalled the rescue scene at the press conference site of the collapse of the self-built houses of Changsha residents.
"The rescue of the 6th trapped Xiao Jiang and the 8th trapped Xiao Liu was the most difficult and time-consuming. Their optimism and strength deeply moved me."
Trapped girl cheers for rescuers and herself
"The difficulty of on-site rescue is beyond the imagination of many people." Cai Junqiu said that the biggest difficulty and danger lies in the unstable structure of the site, and large components may fall at any time. The safety of personnel poses a threat; and the rescue operation space is small, the operation is difficult, and large equipment and equipment cannot be used.
"The collapsed house is a brick-concrete structure, and the pie-stacked collapse makes the ruins compact. It is very difficult to demolition and rescue on site. Therefore, during the rescue process, it is necessary to choose firefighters with small stature and rich rescue experience to enter and divide them into two parts. Rotate the group to work, demolition, excavation, and reinforcement."
Both Xiao Jiang and Xiao Liu were trapped on the first floor of the collapsed building.
In the process of rescuing Xiao Jiang, the rescuers carried out more than 20 hours of demolition overnight.
At about 3 am on May 1st, Cai Junqiu asked Xiao Jiang if he could see the light. "She said that she could see a ray of light through the iron sheet. I thought she could be rescued soon." But at about 7 o'clock, when When rescuers removed parts of the stainless steel components, they found that there was still a layer of board inside.
"At this time, I can see her hand, and I feel like she's next to her when I hear the voice, and I can reach it right away, but it's actually not like that."
After the rescuers discussed the rescue plan with the experts, they widened the working surface from the rescue entrance, continued to dig down, and crossed the stainless steel structure, striving to carry out the rescue in the most efficient and fastest way.
"For her safety, we tried hydraulic demolition, but there were building debris falling off the roof, so we could only evacuate temporarily. Because once the structure is unstable, it will bring life danger to rescuers and trapped people. When the rotation assignments gave me a break, I was worried about her safety, so I didn’t go, thinking that I would rescue her, she saw us as difficult, and cheered us up for singing.” Cai Junqiu told reporters that at that time, Xiao Jiang started singing "Tomorrow will be better", cheering for rescuers and myself.
After nearly 28 hours of rescue, Xiao Jiang was successfully rescued.
"After rescuing her, I felt exhausted, but when I heard the applause outside, my tears came out."
"It's okay, I call mine, you save you"
"She is the strongest girl I have ever seen." Cai Junqiu said that the rescue process of the eighth trapped Xiao Liu was the longest and the most difficult.
When talking to Xiao Liu, the girl said, "I want to drink water, drink orange juice, Coke, and eat apples." Cai Junqiu told her, "When the rescue is over, I will see you; when you recover, welcome to our fire department. visit the station.”
"During the rescue process, the safety officer observed that the structure of the collapsed house had changed, and the risk of secondary collapse was high, and notified us to temporarily evacuate. The reinforcement process will take several hours, and this process is very tormenting for me, and I am very worried about her safety. "After the experts assessed and strengthened the structure, the rescuers started the rescue again and approached her little by little.
The situation around Xiao Liu is very complicated and rescue is difficult, but Cai Junqiu was deeply moved by her strength, "She asked me: 'Will I be amputated? Will I be in a wheelchair in the future?' I told her: 'Don't worry, you want to Trust me, I will do my best to keep you safe.'"
During the whole process, Xiao Liu screamed in pain several times, grabbed Cai Junqiu's clothes and trembled, but comforted him in turn: "It's okay, I called me, you saved you" "It's nothing, I'm just in pain"... It took about 30 hours from finding her to being rescued.
"During the rescue process, what we think about most is to rescue the trapped people as soon as possible. If we are quicker for a second, they will be able to get out sooner." (End)
