On February 28th, Ms. Liu, the rescued owner, thanked Chen Junbo and Sun Qi for offering flowers.
Risk! One car spontaneously ignites in rush hour traffic.
During the rush hour on the evening of February 24, Ms. Liu, a citizen, was driving home when the vehicle suddenly spontaneously ignited. Once the fire spread in the downtown area with dense traffic, it was in danger of explosion at any time. At this critical moment, several strangers stepped forward and relayed fire fighting and rescue until the fire truck arrived at the scene.
Seeing that the fire was under control, several people who participated in the courageous deeds left silently without leaving their names. Afterwards, Ms. Liu, the owner of the car, wanted to express her gratitude to the enthusiastic people who were desperate, so she turned to the traffic police, hoping to help her find several people who participated in the rescue at that time with the help of the police.
The reporter saw through the on-site monitoring collected by the command center of the traffic police brigade in Lixia District that at 5: 23 pm on the day of the incident, a white car was driving from west to east along Dongguan Street. Less than 100 meters away from the intersection, the vehicle suddenly began to smoke, and then an open flame popped out from the gap on both sides of the front hood. Due to the rush hour, the spontaneous combustion vehicles are densely packed with slow-moving vehicles in the front and back direction, and the burning car is caught in it and cannot leave.
In the video, the driver in the car gets off the bus and uses his mobile phone to call the police. However, in just a few seconds, the fire quickly intensified, and the smoke on the scene was rolling, and the smoke was as high as ten meters. The situation was very critical.
"At first, I found that the front of the car was smoking. When I rolled down the window, I immediately smelled the smell of burnt rubber nose." Ms. Liu told reporters that it was the first time she had experienced such an accident. At that time, she was at a loss. "The intuitive reaction was to turn off the car first, but I was so nervous that I twisted the car key several times before pulling it off." After the alarm, she stood on the side of the road waiting for rescue. "I was very scared when I saw the flames swallowing the front of the car instantly. I don’t know how to deal with this situation." Ms. Liu said that the traffic around her is gradually increasing, and her car is still parked on the main road, causing a short-term congestion. "I am particularly worried about the explosion of vehicles."
At the critical moment, a man wearing a fluorescent yellow vest and a black down jacket carried two cans of fire extinguishers, running all the way, and rushed into the thick smoke, constantly spraying at the fire position of the front of the car; Then, five or six people joined them with fire extinguishers, and everyone joined forces to spray from multiple directions to try to control the spread of the fire. Seeing that the flame has just been suppressed, the fire extinguishing spray in the hands of several people has been used up one after another, and the fire tends to rebound and explode, and the vehicle may explode at any time. At this critical juncture, at 5: 28, the fire truck, traffic police team and police station arrived at the scene almost at the same time. Under the rapid disposal of multi-party police forces, the burning vehicle was quickly extinguished.
Brave! Everyone joined forces to curb the spread of the fire.
Seeing that the situation was effectively controlled, the first few people who participated in the rescue left the scene one after another. When Ms. Liu remembered to express her gratitude to several people, she found that they left silently without leaving their names. "In a crisis, they stepped forward, thinking not of their own safety, but of ensuring everyone’s life safety. Such enthusiastic people should not be unknown. I must find them and thank them in person. " Ms. Liu told reporters.
However, the damaged vehicle has been scrapped, and the driving recorder in the thick smoke has not photographed the fire fighting. Thinking that the incident occurred in the jurisdiction of the traffic police in Lixia, Ms. Liu turned to the traffic police brigade in Lixia District, hoping to help her find someone with the help of the police.
"Through monitoring along the way, we first locked the first rescuer who rushed into the scene and found that the fluorescent yellow vest he was wearing was the dress of traffic civilization volunteers. Following this clue, the police quickly found this enthusiastic person-Chen Junbo. " Li Zhichao, deputy head of the traffic police brigade in Lixia District, told reporters that Chen Junbo is a veteran, and now quancheng road Squadron is a volunteer of traffic civilization.
"At that time, I happened to be on duty at the intersection, not far from the burning vehicle. When I noticed this car, the front hood position had already started to smoke, and I judged that the car was probably spontaneous combustion. " Chen Junbo recalled that after discovering the abnormal situation of the vehicle, his first reaction was to quickly find a fire extinguisher. "I glanced at the surrounding situation and judged that there must be a fire extinguisher in a sales office on the roadside. I ran in and rushed to the side of the car with one hand. At that time, I thought it was a race against time, because there were too many vehicles around the evening rush hour, which was prone to danger." Chen Junbo said that after the first bottle of fire extinguisher was used up, the car was not only surrounded by smoke, but also an open flame appeared, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger. At this time, four people also ran over with fire extinguishers.
"After about three minutes, we used up eight fire extinguishers one after another, but the open flame was not completely extinguished, and there was congestion around, and more and more vehicles gathered. Just when I was in a hurry, I heard the siren of the fire truck. I quickly ran to the intersection to help the traffic police guide the fire truck. " Chen Junbo said, "After seeing the firefighters, everyone was more at ease, and the people involved in the fire fighting left one after another. I then helped the traffic police to guide the surrounding vehicles."
Great! "Textbook" rescue operation
Subsequently, the police confirmed the identity of another enthusiastic citizen by visiting along the way-the post-90 s boy Sun Qi. "At that time, in addition to a traffic volunteer, three colleagues, a uniformed bus driver and several unknown enthusiasts joined the rescue." Sun Qi told reporters that he was working in the unit near the incident. At that time, he heard someone shouting "Fire" outside. His first reaction was to run out with the fire extinguisher of the unit to participate in the fire fighting. "In an instant, the idea of’ What if this car explodes’ appeared in my mind, but the situation was critical at that time, and I couldn’t think too much. I just wanted to put out the fire quickly and don’t cause more danger."
After the identities of several people involved in the rescue were confirmed one after another, on the morning of February 28th, the policemen of the traffic police brigade of Lixia District accompanied the rescued owner, Ms. Liu, to the intersection of Lishan Road, Huayuan Road, and thanked Chen Junbo who was on duty here and Sun Qi who worked nearby. Ms. Liu sent flowers to Chen Junbo and Sun Qi, thanking them for their heroic rescue, protecting their own safety and reducing property losses. Li Zhichao sent a thank-you letter on behalf of the Traffic Police Brigade, saying, "It was their heroic responsibility and heroism that effectively curbed the spread of the fire, protected people’s lives and property, and avoided traffic congestion on a large scale. In just a few minutes, a’ textbook’ rescue operation was staged! "
