Dream Chasing Flame Blue Protecting the Lights of Ten Thousand Homes | Guo Youyuan: Because I know the fragility of life, I do my best to protect life

  China Youth Network, Guiyang, August 10th (Reporter An Li and Yang Yifan) In a fire situation, the alarm bell is an order, and time is life.

In the thick smoke, he once faced the fear of darkness and the unknown alone, and also felt the tacit understanding and trust between his teammates in the test of life and death.

Guo Youyuan, an advanced worker in the national emergency management system and a political instructor of the Fire Rescue Brigade in Baiyun District, Guiyang City, has been engaged in fire protection for 17 years. Interpretation of "fighting against death, fighting against disasters, saving people from water and fire, helping people in distress".

Let's walk into his story together!

Going through fire and water, just for the dream in my heart

  The dark skin and the calluses on his hands are the "medal" left by each "hardening exercise" in the past 17 years.

Youth can have many colors, he chose "flame blue".

  When he was a child, Guo Youyuan often passed by the fire station in the county town on his way to and from school.

Inside the fence gate, the firefighters practiced rescue by "flying over the eaves and walls". Guo Youyuan was envious of their tall and straight posture, handsome uniforms, and cool equipment.

The "hero" in the peacetime is probably like this. The fire alarm sounded, and it became his dream to drive a fire truck to charge all the way.

  In July 2009, Guo Youyuan graduated from the Armed Police Academy and was assigned to work in the Guikailu Squadron of Yunyan Brigade, which has the heaviest task in the province and receives an average of 1,000 police calls per year.

Year after year, day after day, more than 4,500 police calls were recorded, ranging from sudden natural disasters and accidents such as floods and explosions, to small life events such as picking hornet's nests. Responsibility and mission, strengthen muscles and physique, improve rescue skills.

"Having a strong ability can save people from water and fire." With this belief, he quickly grew into a single and trusted squadron leader in the fire brigade, and was also regarded as the most beautiful retrograde by the people in his jurisdiction.

Saving lives in danger

  At about 21:00 on July 23, 2019, a landslide occurred in the Chagou Formation of Pingdi Village, Jichang Town, Shuicheng County, Liupanshui City, Guizhou Province, with a landslide volume of about 2 million square meters.

After receiving the order, as a "province secret service force", Guo Youyuan immediately led 4 fire trucks and 15 commanders and fighters to the scene with rescue equipment.

  The situation at the site of the landslide took everyone by surprise.

According to monitoring data from the meteorological department, the cumulative rainfall in Pingdi Village, Jichang Town, where the accident occurred, has reached 288.9 mm since July 2019, and the heavy rainfall was concentrated in the past 6 days.

The rain washed violently, the soil loosened and poured down, and a large number of houses were buried.

Water and electricity were cut off in the jurisdiction, and roads were buried by mudslides and impassable.

  At the rescue scene, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, dripping from the top of the head, and the eyes could not be opened.

In the difficult rescue environment, Guo Youyuan and his teammates carried demolition tools and went deep into the core area to rescue the trapped people buried under the house.

  "In that rescue mission, I deeply felt that search and rescue dogs are the most trusted partners and partners of firefighters in searching for trapped people and saving lives." Guo Youyuan recalled.

At the risk of secondary landslides and deep mud sinking, Guo Youyuan and his teammates went deep into the ruins to search for the trapped people.

The search and rescue dogs bury their heads in the search, stick their noses to the ruins, use their paws to dig the soil from time to time, and refuse to leave beside a ruin.

Guo Youyuan immediately understood the intention of the search and rescue dog, and he firmly believed that there were still trapped people below!

He immediately dispatched three formations to continue the search and rescue, and finally found five trapped people at 2 am.

  The firefighters who always keep charging forward in times of crisis guard their fragile lives in their arms, but they often face the fragility of life, leaving us with a strong back.

At four o'clock in the morning, the rescue team dug out the last pair of trapped mother and daughter from the mud-covered rubble. Unfortunately, the mother and daughter have no signs of life.

The mother remained in the position of hugging her child when she was killed.

In the last moments of life, I want to do my best to protect my children.

The firefighters did not separate the mother and daughter, but placed the remains of the mother and daughter on a stretcher, standing on both sides, and stood in silence.

  It was this life rescue that made Guo Youyuan firmly believe that the only way to strike iron is to be hard-working, to keep on skills, to maintain high-intensity physical training, and to be empowered by technology to race against time on the front line of emergency rescue and ensure the safety of the people.

I have witnessed the fragility of life, so I fear life even more

  Now that the alarm bell rings, in addition to the mission on his shoulders, he has no turning back, and Guo Youyuan has added a responsibility to his heart.

Facing danger time and time again, let him know the importance of scientific rescue.

"The fire rescue scene is not a desperate contest, and there should be no needless sacrifice. Only by mastering the characteristics of disasters and accidents, making adequate predictions before rescue, and improving the ability to avoid risks during rescue can we protect ourselves better. The people are safe," he said.

  During his tenure as secretary of the party branch and political instructor in the special service fire station of the special service brigade of the Guiyang detachment, Guo Youyuan adhered to the special warfare thinking in practice, kept close to the special service tasks, and took the lead in cooperating with the establishment of a corps-level mountain, earthquake, water rescue, and hazardous chemical disaster accident disposal professionals. Rescue Team.

Among them, the heavy-duty earthquake rescue team pulled the equipment module to shorten the carrying time to 10 minutes; the mountain rescue team achieved rapid rescue of 100-meter complex caves, and as one of the few successful cases in the country, it has completed super high-rise, super-span, super wind load. 150 meters across the evacuation rescue.

Through Guo Youyuan's leadership in tackling key problems, the fire station where he belongs was collectively awarded the third-class merit by the Fire Rescue Bureau, and has been commended by the corps and detachments for many times.

  The real brave is not the one who dares to face the unknown challenge, but the one who knows the danger but still does not turn back.

In the eyes of He Rong, director of the press and publicity department of the Guiyang Detachment, Guo Youyuan has a strong sense of responsibility and pursues the ultimate.

"He often said that if the work is not completed, you will not have a good rest and will suffer from insomnia. It is better to do the work well before you are steadfast. I have worked with him for many years, and I can feel that in the disaster relief, the firefighting battle again and again. It is the praise of the masses and the trust among comrades-in-arms that make Guo Youyuan continue to strengthen his original intention and determination for the fire protection cause." He Rong said.

  Today, Guo Youyuan is not only a "retrograde hero" in the hearts of the common people, a model in the hearts of his peers, but also a "superhero" in his daughter's heart.

"How many people did Dad go out to help today?" The childish words were her daughter's admiration for "Firefighter Dad".

"In the future, I will continue to perform my duties firmly, strictly manage the team, ensure the safety of the people, live up to the trust of the masses, and set an example for my daughter!"
