Chapter 595: Things that cannot be avoided

When Xiao Mingxue heard that there was a fire in Xicheng District, he immediately became serious.

Mayor Huang Zhuofeng is not a big mouth. If the fire in Xicheng District is not strong, he is unlikely to call him to inform him at this time. After all, such things are usually handled by the people below.

So Xiao Mingxue took the phone call and said a few simple words to Huang Zhuofeng, and then he understood the situation at the scene.

"It seems I have to go over-" Xiao Mingxue said to everyone while putting on his coat.

"The situation is serious?" Xie Lu asked.

"The fire is quite powerful and difficult to control--" Xiao Mingxue replied.

As for the casualties and losses, there is no definite news yet. Huang Zhuofeng was also anxious at the scene, so he called Xiao Mingxue. If the problem was not serious, he would not be in a hurry to call Xiao Mingxue, after all, this is a relatively cheap matter.

Xiao Mingxue rushed over, but the secretary and driver here all drank. Chen Mingluo said, "I'll be a driver, I haven't drunk it just now."

Although Chen Mingluo usually drinks, he is not addicted to alcohol. He usually drinks to add to the mood. Tonight it happened to be a hard time on the journey, so he followed Xiao Xiao and the others to drink some juice. He doesn't have to worry about being caught when driving out, so he is charged with drunk driving.

"Okay--" Xiao Mingxue nodded and agreed to Chen Mingluo's suggestion.

Chen Mingluo drove Xiao Mingxue to the fire scene in Xicheng District. He saw that there was martial law here, and thick smoke was rolling across the street, and the flames were rushing high. More than 20 fire trucks had been mobilized around him. The firefighters of the armed police were nervously extinguishing the fire.

Several other municipal government leaders came, gathered around to check the topographic map and discussed the fire extinguishing plan with the leaders of the fire brigade. Everyone was very nervous.

When Xiao Mingxue came over, the car was blocked. The police in charge of martial law looked carefully and found that it was Xiao Mingxue, the secretary of the municipal party committee, who came over, and quickly gave him in.

Chen Mingluo followed Xiao Mingxue and found that there were many people gathering here watching the fire scene.

"Secretary Xiao--" Everyone waved their hands when they saw Xiao Mingxue.

Xiao Mingxue was in a bad mood and didn't say much. He just clasped his fists around and said hello, then went straight to Huang Zhuofeng to see how they were doing research?

"The secretary is here too?" Huang Zhuofeng looked up and saw Xiao Mingxue coming over tightly, and hurriedly greeting him. The two shook hands.

"The fire is quite serious-" Xiao Mingxue looked at the opposite side and said in a heavy mood.

The situation at the scene was indeed quite bad. The reason for the incident was that someone had stored a large number of fireworks and firecrackers here privately. For some reason, the fireworks and firecrackers were ignited by open fires and exploded. Several nearby houses served as warehouses, which stored a large amount of wood and other things, so the fire was very fierce.

"Fortunately, most of them are ruined houses here, with only a few tenants, otherwise the trouble would be great." Huang Zhuofeng said with lingering fear.

"How are the casualties?" This is what Xiao Mingxue is most concerned about.

Loss of property are trivial matters, but casualties are more sensitive. Once the number of casualties is large, it is more troublesome, and Xiao Mingxue also has to bear relatively large responsibilities.

"Fortunately, except for the two burns, there were no other casualties-" Huang Zhuofeng replied.

"How is such a big fire possible?" Xiao Mingxue asked with some doubts.

The fire brigade leader next to him explained, "We just learned that several tenants here have gone back to their hometown for the New Year. The two left behind have drunk too much and did not notice the occurrence of the fire. When the problem was discovered, the fire was no longer controlled. When they called for help, the warehouse next to them had already ignited. Now the wind assisted the fire, which was not conducive to extinguishing the fire."

Xiao Mingxue nodded and then felt relieved.

Fortunately, there is no dense residential area next to it, otherwise it would have caused great trouble.

"But the situation is also very serious. There is a plastic factory opposite, which stores a lot of chemical raw materials. Once the fire cannot be controlled, there will be big trouble." The fire brigade leader reported another serious problem. "But our current fire-fighting vehicles are limited, and it is difficult to do anything in the face of such a large fire. We can only try our best to maintain it and prevent the fire from spreading."

"The biggest problem is that the wind direction is very unfavorable to us-" Mayor Huang Zhuofeng also pointed to the direction of the fire and said worriedly, "The hard push can't be held back. We are now studying whether to transfer the dangerous goods in the plastic factory first. Once the fire really breaks through the defense line, it will be too late."

Xiao Mingxue looked at the situation and frowned.

It is the Spring Festival now. On the night of the first day of the Chinese New Year, where can I find so many people to transfer dangerous goods in the factory? What's more, it's not that people who are unfamiliar to do these things, which is also dangerous.

"It would be great if the wind could stop--" Huang Zhuofeng sighed.

However, he also knew that it was unrealistic to expect the wind to stop. Every time in this season of Yangshuo, there were always a lot of winds.

Chen Mingluo stood aside and looked at the fire scene. He found that after the high-pressure water dragons of the firefighters were sprayed, they were suddenly filled with fog. It was obvious that in the face of such a large fire, more than 20 fire trucks were really not enough to see. If you don’t want to have any other solutions, you may be unable to control the fire.

There has been a long time since Yangshuo. Although this time it is not in a densely populated area or near the city center, it can be imagined that the fire here soars into the sky. Even in the city center, as long as it is on a relatively tall building, the fire should be visible.

The fire had a great impact. Chen Mingluo was thinking about this, but Xiao Mingxue's call came from the provincial party committee secretary Xu Xingbing, who was also asking about the situation of the fire.

"Please rest assured Secretary Xu. Mayor Huang and I are both on the scene and are studying fire extinguishing plans with our comrades from the fire brigade to ensure that the fire will not continue to spread!" Xiao Mingxue replied firmly.

However, although that is the case, Xiao Mingxue was not sure. After all, the wind assisted the fire and there was a tendency to be intensified. Although the fire brigade had mobilized fire vehicles from various districts to assist in the war, it was not in place for a while, which was very troublesome.

"You can think of some other way-" Chen Mingluo said.

"Huh?" After hearing what he said, several leaders at the scene noticed that there was a young man next to him who looked pretty and looked just eighteen or nineteen years old. They couldn't help but feel a little strange. They always thought that they were the young man who had just sent Xiao Ming to learn.

"You are Chen Mingluo, secretary of the Youth League Committee of Xiling University-" Huang Zhuofeng has a good memory. After looking at it, he remembered, "I saw you last time."

"Secretary Xiao's driver has drunk, so I'll drive him over." Chen Mingluo explained.

"What are you doing? Now is the time to work together—" Xiao Mingxue waved his hand, meaning that now is not the time to reminisce about the past. Is there any way to say quickly, don't hesitate.

Chen Mingluo nodded and said, "I remember there is a liquid nitrogen factory here in Xicheng District, right?"

"Well, there is a family, what's wrong?" Huang Zhuofeng asked.

"From the current situation, it is difficult to simply use water to extinguish the fire, and the temperature will never drop-" Chen Mingluo suggested, "It is better to mobilize a batch of liquid nitrogen and directly put it into the fire field. The temperature of the fire field is reduced by gasification of liquid nitrogen, and the fire water dragon can be used to extinguish the fire. It is estimated that the effect will be better."

After hearing what he said, Xiao Mingxue and Huang Zhuofeng both looked at the fire brigade leader, meaning to ask if this matter is reliable?

The fire brigade leader was not sure, but thought that this matter would not make things worse anyway, so he replied, "You can try it, at least it's not bad."

"That liquid nitrogen factory is a private enterprise--" Huang Zhuofeng's secretary reminded the leaders.

"At this time, I don't care about private enterprises and state-owned enterprises. If there is a problem, the losses will be even greater. Even if I make up for the losses for them in a while, I have to control the fire." Huang Zhuofeng was very decisive. He waved his hand and asked Xiao Mingxue again, "What instructions do Secretary Xiao have?"

"I think you can try it." Xiao Mingxue nodded and agreed.

"This is not very good--" Chen Mingluo said, "For the New Year, if you don't pay for other people's things, it will cause a rebound. It seems that the company has Hong Kong-funded shares. It's better to do this. Just say how much stuff you used, the Xiling University Youth League Committee will just settle the bill with them, and will not take their things in vain."

Huang Zhuofeng looked at Chen Mingluo and thought to himself that this young man is really amazing. He is worthy of being the secretary of the Youth League Committee of Xiling University. It is said that Yangshuo Heavy Machinery is also the one who is in charge of the reform work. No matter how much it costs, he will have the courage to take it away.

Of course, the municipal government can also spend this money, but it will definitely not be able to fulfill it for a while. It will take a process, which is far less efficient than others spending money.

After discussing this, they sent someone to contact the other side.

As a result, the other party was quite easy to talk to. When he heard that it was to put out the fire, and the municipal party secretary and mayor were there, he said that the factory would supply liquid nitrogen at the cost price, and give another twenty cans.

After more than half an hour, I finally brought a truck of steel cylinders loaded with liquid nitrogen. The crane that was temporarily mobilized lifted the cylinders high, then turned on the switch, and threw them into the fire.

I saw dozens of steel cylinders showing white mist gas, and the situation in the center of the fire field immediately improved.

"It's really effective!" After reading it, everyone felt very excited.
