In this alley where the New Century Internet Cafe is located, there are all kinds of small businesses.
The structure of the entire alley is like the character "Feng". Vertically is the main road of the alley, with merchants on both sides. The New Century Internet Cafe is also next to this main road.
In addition, there are many small alleys that are only one or two meters wide extending to the left and right on both sides. Most of the small alleys are so deep and narrow that even a car cannot enter.
There are all small self-built buildings here, and both the building density and the population density are very high.
In these small alleys, there are many small family hotels.
After all, Zhonghai is a tourist city. There are many people who come here to travel, and most of them cannot afford regular hotels. Therefore, these tourists will choose family hotels like this, which are cheap and affordable.
After all, for them, they go out to play during the day and come back to sleep at night. The environment is not important, saving money is the most important.
Just like Xidan in Yanjing, there were many small hotels in the major alleys, and there were even many basements developed into hotels. These places were basically full all year round, almost all of which were tourists from outside the city.
Zhao Xin had some impressions of the four-story building that was on fire. He told Xu Yiyang that he had seen light box advertisements on the outer wall of this hotel at night.
Xu Yiyang suddenly became nervous.
If it is a self-built house, I guess there will not be too many people, but if it is a small hotel, it is really hard to say how many people live there.
He had stayed in a similar small hotel back then, and it was normal for a room to have three or four beds.
If these four floors are full, at least twenty or thirty people can't be accommodated
After Xu Yiyang finished playing 119, the fire that shot up into the sky became a little more intense. The whole alley was filled with screams. Many people who were sleeping were awakened by the fire and the screams coming from everywhere.
At this time, the Internet cafe customers around Xu Yiyang were also looking at the burning house with frightened faces and pointing. Some people muttered: "Why hasn't the fire truck arrived yet? If it is later, it will be too late..."
Xu Yiyang also feels that if 119 is later, the trouble will be big.
Moreover, this alley is really chaotic. There are all kinds of strange things lying on the roadside, including stoves, tables and chairs for breakfast stalls, and old three-wheelers used for transporting goods. Fire trucks may not be able to drive into the main road of the alley, let alone The small alley in the alley.
When he thought of Lan Jisu in later generations, he felt a chill running down his back, and even the hairs on his hair seemed to stand on end.
At this time, he suddenly remembered that he was afraid that something like Lan Jisu would happen, so when the Internet cafe opened, he stocked up a large number of fire extinguishers, large and small, of all kinds, more than forty sets!
Thinking of this, he immediately shouted to his bedmates: "Go in and get the fire extinguisher, hurry up!"
After saying that, he rushed in first and took out a 20-kilogram trolley-type fire extinguisher from the corner.
Zhao Xin, Chen Meng, and Zhang Junnan quickly followed up and moved out the other three cart-type fire extinguishers.
This alley is almost entirely made up of old buildings from the 1960s, 1970s, 1970s and 1980s, and the building density is very high. Various buildings are intertwined and disorganized. Once a fire breaks out, it can easily cause a disaster.
At this time, it was half past one in the night. Xu Yiyang didn't think about it. His only thought was to put out the fire as much as possible. Even if it couldn't be put out, he had to find a way to control the fire. He couldn't stand here and wait for 119 to come over.
So, Xu Yiyang immediately shouted to other customers who were stretching their necks to watch the fire: "Students, please don't just watch the excitement. Human life is at stake. Saving others is important. We have plenty of fire extinguishers. Boys, please take the fire extinguisher. We all Let’s put out the fire together!”
Those who come to the Internet cafe to stay overnight on Friday are almost all college students from nearby, and most of them are boys.
Xu Yiyang deliberately used inflammatory words in order to stimulate the hormones of these young people.
As soon as these words came out, the sense of justice in the hearts of the people around him was immediately mobilized, and they rushed in one by one, preparing to get the fire extinguisher.
New Century Internet Cafe is not only an Internet cafe, but also a civilian fire station.
In the Internet cafe, he has more than 30 bottles of dry powder fire extinguishers. In addition, there are also some expensive carbon dioxide fire extinguishers. The fire extinguishers in his Internet cafe may be more than those in a building today.
Xu Yiyang equipped with so many fire extinguishers was to take preventive measures before they happened. He thought that the area of his Internet cafe was not large, with only about 300 square meters upstairs and downstairs. Equipped with more than forty sets of fire extinguishers, it felt like using forty sets of fire extinguishers. The Qiusha rocket launcher can achieve absolute firepower coverage just like covering a small hill, which is enough for Internet cafes to deal with various fire situations.
But what I didn't expect was that it would be put to such use today.
With his shout, more than 40 young men carrying and holding various fire extinguishers quickly rushed towards the fire.
At this time, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the flames even jumped from the second floor window to the third floor window.
Under the irradiation of the flames, you can see the windows on the third and fourth floors. Many people are desperately calling for help through the iron security windows. The iron windows that were originally used to prevent theft have now become cages that hinder their escape.
Xu Yiyang asked a strange young man to help him carry the trolley-type fire extinguisher, and led a large group of people to rush to the hotel.
At this time, the hotel's large iron door was closed tightly, and many people's desperate shouts and cries for help could be heard inside.
Xu Yiyang hurriedly smashed the door and shouted to open the door. After a few dozen seconds, a middle-aged woman with a pale face opened the door.
When the door opened, she saw a group of young men. In despair, she seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and cried: "Save people, hurry up and save people..."
At this time, Xu Yiyang saw in the yard that there were several people who looked like they had just ran away from the fire, sitting on the ground crying and shouting in embarrassment.
Among them, the clothes on some people's bodies had been burned to the point of being tightly adhered to their skin. What he didn't expect was that among them there was a little girl who was only four or five years old. Most of the little dress she wore had been burned off. The skin is dark and has fire-stained flesh and blood, which makes people worried.
Xu Yiyang didn't dare to look further, because he knew that the most important thing now was not the people who ran out, but the ones inside who didn't run out.
He quickly made a judgment based on the scene he saw in front of him.
First of all, there was no fire or thick smoke on the first floor. The flames were all spurting out from the windows on the second floor. From this, it can be seen that the fire should have started from the second floor.
And now, although the third and fourth floors have not been ignited, the thick smoke from the second floor has begun to billow out under the action of the heat wave. If the fire is not controlled, the people upstairs may not be burned to death, even if they are not burned to death. Will be killed by the heavy smoke.
So, he hurriedly turned around and shouted to the people behind him: "Open all the fire extinguishers and spray them into the burning windows on the second floor first! Suppress the fire first!"
The other young people were also stunned by the tragic scene in front of them. After hearing this, they came back to their senses and hurriedly tried to figure out how to open the fire extinguisher in their hands.
Xu Yiyang pulled the safety catch of the trolley-type fire extinguisher and wanted to spray it from the downstairs to the window where the fire was coming out on the second floor. But the problem was that although the pressure of the dry powder fire extinguisher was very high, if the distance was too far, the dry powder sprayed out would be only four meters away. It spread out, most of it sprayed outside the windows, and very few could get in.
The best way, of course, is to point the nozzle of the fire extinguisher toward the window and spray it inward so that the dry powder can cover the entire room. But after all, there is a drop of at least three meters, so there is no way to point the fire extinguisher to the window.
At this time, Chen Meng was a little red-eyed and blurted out: "Brother Xu, it's important to save people, let's rush in!"
Xu Yiyang scolded: "Your brain has been squeezed by the door? Do you know the layout inside? Do you know where the stairs are and which room is where? And you don't even have a respirator. I'm afraid you'll faint before you enter the fire scene." He died inside, did you put out the fire or add human flesh to the fire?"
If you are not a professional firefighter, do not have professional equipment, and know nothing about the situation at the fire scene, entering the fire scene rashly under such circumstances is almost a fool's errand.
Forget about saving people, just don't get involved yourself.
Chen Meng was stunned by Xu Yiyang's scolding, not because he was scolded, but because Xu Yiyang really asked him. He rushed in without even knowing where the stairs were going. Who was he saving
Xu Yiyang couldn't help but blurt out and asked the middle-aged woman who opened the door just now: "Are you the boss here?"
"I am… "
"Do you have a ladder here?"
"No… "
Xu Yiyang gritted his teeth and said to Li Yiming: "Yiming, go out with Gu Peng and see if you can borrow a ladder!"
After saying that, he asked Zhao Xin: "Brother Xin, can you support me?"
Zhao Xin understood what Xu Yiyang meant, nodded and said, "No problem!"
After saying that, he immediately squatted down.
Xu Yiyang didn't say anything and quickly rode on his neck. Chen Meng saw their intentions and hurried over to help Zhao Xin share Xu Yiyang's weight.
After Zhao Xin stood up, Xu Yiyang stretched out his hand again, and the height from the window on the second floor was already within one meter.
So he hurriedly said: "Pass me a fire extinguisher!"
Someone handed a four-kilogram fire extinguisher to him. He lifted the fire extinguisher with his right hand, placed the bottom of the fire extinguisher on top of Zhao Xin's head, then held the nozzle high with his left hand and pressed the fire extinguisher switch.
With a pop, a large amount of white powder spurted out. Since it was relatively close to the window, almost all the dry powder was sprayed into the window.
The air pressure pushed the dry powder into the window, which immediately suppressed a lot of the flames that had spurted out before. However, the fire in the other window next to it was still very strong.
At this time, Zhang Junnan was already riding on the neck of a tall stranger, holding a fire extinguisher and spraying it towards the window next door.
Xu Yiyang shouted while spraying: "Don't worry about the fire extinguisher, finish spraying it as quickly as possible, and then quickly replace it with the next one!"
"Okay!" Zhang Junnan nodded, then choked on the dry powder and coughed a few times.
Xu Yiyang's bottle of fire extinguisher quickly ran out.
The fire inside was so strong that it seemed that all the combustible items had been ignited. When the dry powder fire extinguisher was sprayed in, it could only temporarily suppress the flames, but as long as it stopped, the flames would come back immediately, with almost no weakening.
So, he immediately threw the empty bottle on the empty ground and shouted: "Come on, give me another bottle!"
Below, all the fire extinguishers had their safety latches opened, and several people struggled to hold up the fire extinguishers in their hands to hand them to him.
Xu Yiyang took the bottle closest to him, picked it up, and continued to spray out the window.
Now, whether the fire can be suppressed depends on the fire extinguishers of the New Century Internet Cafe!
