Living room sofa fire in the early morning, after the fire arrived in Time
A family of five but “can not be found”
For firefighters, the most worried is the fire in the second half of the night. Because this time fire, the majority of people are sleeping, lack of preparedness, easy to panic, it is easy to cause casualties.
So when the alarm was received at 2:30 a.m., the team members who went out to the police were a little nervous.
Fortunately, the caller, the hostess of the family, said they were hiding on the balcony, which was safe for the time being, which also gave the rescue firefighters a short rescue opportunity.
Baiyang fire station deputy station chief Li Xuyang on the early morning rescue is still fresh in my mind: just to the community, the situation is still very smooth. The residents of the building with one staircase and three households were very conscious of the fire and told the firefighters the password of their security door in advance, so we hardly wasted much time in opening the door.
Who knows that once the door is opened, you can see the open fire. It turns out that the family into the door is the living room, the living room sofa on fire, burning, resulting in the entire door to the living room area is not only dense smoke, the temperature is also very high.
At this point, the firefighters to the house out of two water guns. One to combat the open fire, and the other to give cover to the search and rescue firefighters.
Li Xuyang described the fire at that time two eyes, do not know where is where. “Only know that people hiding in the balcony, but where is the balcony?”
The firefighters at the forefront can only touch the wall, all the way slowly forward. Search and rescue for 10 minutes, everyone’s heart really anxious, now the family situation is not known, in case they can not stand to run out, the consequences really do not dare to think ……
Ventilation of the balcony plays a key role
From the fire to the scene has passed 15 minutes time. The firefighters rushed inside the most open searchlight, along the wall to feel ahead, finally saw a glimmer of light, is the balcony!
Balcony door is not locked, firefighters pull open a look, five people hiding in the open balcony of about four square meters, are safe and sound! Firefighters were relieved.
After the rear learned the news, immediately sent more firefighters into the room, carrying breathing equipment to send five people out one by one.
Inside the five people, four adults, all young (one was a nephew who had just reached adulthood), and a little girl. The little girl was obviously frightened, rather depressed and crying. Squad leader Liu Sijie gently put on the breathing equipment for the little girl and said to her, “It’s okay, don’t be afraid, we’ll take you out right away.
See the little girl nodded, he held a hand, playing lights back.
After another ten minutes, five people were finally sent to the fire escape, and escorted downstairs by the police. 3:40, after repeated checks to confirm that there is no risk of re-ignition, Poplar Fire and Rescue Station to collect the whole equipment to return.
The hostess heard a noise in the living room in her sleep
Go out and see the fire!
This morning, the firefighters returned to the fire again for fire tuning. When there is no more smoke, we found that the scope of the fire is actually an area of the living room by the door. The sofa has long been burned into a bracket and ashes, the ceiling was also affected by some.
Firefighters later learned that the earliest that will be, is the family’s mistress in her sleep suddenly heard a sound in the living room, up to take a look to find the living room on fire, and smoke is very large.
She rushed back to the room, woke up her son and nephew who were sleeping, and went to wake up her five-year-old daughter and husband, rushing the family to their bedroom.
A look at the fire can not be controlled, we thought of going to the balcony to escape, five people closed the balcony door, followed by the police.
Electrical wiring failure led to ignite the sofa
The family’s method of self-rescue, leading to fire praise
“You made the right choice.” Firefighters told the hostess. “You hid to the ventilated balcony, is for us to grab out rescue time, but also to leave time for yourselves.”
Firefighters told reporters that when there is a fire in the home, especially near the all-important front door, both the temperature and the smoke can be very deadly.
At this time, choose to escape from the door, or hide in a non-ventilated closed room, there are dangerous escape methods, a slight inadvertence may lead to coma or even casualties.
In a ventilated environment, closing the door to isolate the heat and smoke and actively contacting rescue is a standard method of self-rescue. Therefore, this family’s choice in the fire was the right one.
The reporter learned that the initial investigation of this fire found that it was caused by a faulty electrical wiring that ignited the couch. At present, the specific cause of the fire is under further investigation.
