Chapter 173 One wave has not yet settled and one wave has risen again
As time passed by minute by minute, the fire became stronger and stronger, and thick smoke was rolling. Countless black smoke and red flame monsters could be seen from a distance. They stretched out their fiery tongues and licked around them wantonly.
Everything.
The first floor was burned so that it was completely impossible to see its original appearance. The ground was full of burnt buildings, tables, chairs, etc.
The fires surged into the sky, reflecting everyone's face, full of worry and anxiety.
The fire had spread to the 4th floor at this time. If this continues, you will miss the best rescue time. Principal Zhou was so anxious that a few blisters grew in his mouth.
The school leaders rushed over after hearing the news. If there were no casualties, Principal Zhou would be criticized at most. If there were casualties, maybe his position as Principal would be overwhelmed.
Moreover, this year is the critical period for him to be promoted. There was no problem with everything, but when such a thing happened, it was simply unfavorable for the passing of years.
Now Principal Zhou no longer wants to be promoted, as long as he is not dismissed, it is a blessing.
Why haven't the fire truck come yet!"
The vice principal comforted: "It should be coming soon, let's wait a little longer-"
Principal Zhou interrupted impatiently, "Wait! When will you wait until you wait any longer, everyone will be burned to death."
At this time, the director of the teaching director hurried over, and Principal Zhou's eyes lit up, "Is the fire truck here?"
However, there was no sign of a vehicle behind the director, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, "Where are you fire trucks, have you asked you to open the way for them?"
"The fire truck is now blocked in the front lane and is occupied by the surrounding parking, so it cannot be driven in for the time being."
The terrain around the school is quite complex, not only commercial areas but also residential areas, they are all mixed together. The surrounding streets are usually fine, but they are a little congested at night.
It was not a big deal at first, but it was raining all night long. There happened to be a large event in the southeast. All the vehicles in the city drove here and gathered here. At this time, the road near the school was blocked and it was blocked.
.
The key fire safety passage was also occupied, and the fire truck was blocked there directly. There were cars in front and behind, which could be said to be very embarrassing and could not drive in for a while.
"Because the situation is urgent, the firefighters have gotten out of the car. I'll send me here to talk to you first."
Principal Zhou gasped and quickly ordered:
"Hurry and send a few people to help evacuate the traffic and surrounding vehicles. In addition, we have to contact the Transportation Bureau, saying that we need support and find a way to contact the cars that occupy the safe passage. The rest of them will quickly go and pick me up.
.”
The situation is urgent now, and there is no way to do so.
The firefighters came from a distance with heavy equipment on their backs, holding a thick water pipe in their hands, and quickly connected the fire hydrant and began a comprehensive fire extinguishing work.
Some firefighters were wearing their equipment and entered the fire to prepare for rescue.
"Comrade Firefighter, please give me everything. We must bring those children out safely."
The firefighter nodded, "Don't worry, these are all our duties."
Faced with the fierce fire, these firefighters did not fear or retreat and rushed into the sea of fire without hesitation.
"Now the firefighters are here, I hope those students can be safe and sound."
"We must bring them out."
"I hope the action will go smoothly and no more problems."
Everyone was blessing, and the parents of the students rushed over after receiving the news. They learned that their children were trapped on the top floor, their eyes turned dark and almost fainted. They cried beside them.
"Why is our child so unlucky? He is trapped in a fire. If there is really a shortcoming, what should we do?"
Everyone present is a parent, and seeing such a scene, it feels not a good feeling. If their child is trapped in the fire, he may not be in much better mood.
The others hurriedly comforted the side: "Don't worry, the firefighter is here, your child will definitely be fine."
Qin Tian stared at the fire of the sky, looking a little worried and uneasy, afraid that things were not that simple, and the fire has begun to spread to the fifth floor.
There were constant crackling sounds and the sound of things falling from Shide Building.
Although you can't see the scenes on the above floors, judging from the situation on the first floor, I'm afraid it's not much better, and the stairs may collapse at any time.
Sure enough, the firefighters ran out of it, and one of them even fainted and was held out by them. They looked in extremely bad condition, so the medical staff next to them hurriedly carried out first aid work.
Principal Zhou's face turned pale and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"
The firefighter shook his head and said with a serious expression:
"The fire inside was too big, and some of the stairs collapsed, so we couldn't get up at all. Moreover, the things in one of the rooms reacted with the fire, forming a strong toxic gas that could not even be blocked by the gas mask."
Sure enough, Qin Tian’s conjecture was correct.
Now even professional firefighters have no choice but to do anything, Principal Zhou couldn't help but be stunned, "Then, what should I do now."
"It is impossible to rescue from the inside now. You can only rescue from the outside and use a ladder to transfer the group of students on the roof."
"But now the fire truck cannot drive in at all, so how can I use the ladder?"
Everyone was stunned, "If it really doesn't work, use the air cushion bed and let the students jump down and we can catch them below."
This is the worst strategy. Not to mention that the fire downstairs is so big, students are likely to be in danger of their lives during jumping off the building. The most important thing is that there are 6 floors, which is still relatively high. In short, the risk is too great
It is best not to use an air mattress until it is absolutely necessary.
Principal Zhou scratched his head in annoyed manner, "Then what should you do now? The fire truck cannot be driven in, the ladder cannot be used, and the air mattress is in danger."
It can be said that everyone is racing against the god of death now, every minute and every second are extremely precious.
Just when everyone was at a loss, good news suddenly came from the front that the road had been cleared, and the fire truck was driving to the school and could reach it in less than five minutes.
Principal Zhou's frowning finally stretched out, "That's great, these students are finally saved."
When the fire truck drove over, he quickly released the ladder.
However, new problems are emerging again.
When the Shide Building was built, there were problems with the drawings, so each floor was partly higher than before.
So although it is the 6th floor, it is almost the same as the 8th floor of an ordinary residential area.
The ladder that comes with the fire truck is actually short!
Everyone was stunned on the spot. Looking at the ladder that was still a long way from the 6th floor, they felt a little cold.
"What, why is this happening? Even the ladder can't do it."
At this time, the fire had already rushed to the fifth floor. At this speed, it was obvious that it was too late to adjust the higher ladder.
