At this time, Xu Yiyang was still riding on Zhao Xin's neck, raising his arms high and spraying dry fire-extinguishing powder into the window, not daring to stop at all.
The only way he could contain the fire was the fire extinguisher in his hand, so he could only keep spraying it in.
From the windows on the third and fourth floors, many people were shouting for help, and there were even desperate cries of children. These sounds continued to stimulate Xu Yiyang's nerves.
He sprayed several cans of fire extinguishers in succession, but when he changed the fire extinguishers, the flames would come back again.
At this time, the cameraman Lao Zhang parked his car and ran in. He was shocked when he saw this scene, and then he immediately came to his senses, took the camera from Lu Di's shoulder, and said to her: "Xiao Lu, hurry up and get ready to appear on camera! "
For major news, just taking pictures is not enough. Front-line reporters must have sufficient professionalism and be able to prepare a set of oral scripts as quickly as possible, and then immediately appear on camera to report on the scene.
Lu Di obviously had no experience in dealing with such a major incident. When he was reminded like this, he was so nervous that he didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Li Yiming ran in quickly carrying a bamboo ladder about three meters high and said to Xu Yiyang: "Brother Xu, borrow a ladder!"
Xu Yiyang said hurriedly: "Quick, put it against the wall between the two windows!"
"good!"
Li Yiming immediately carried the ladder between the two windows on the first floor, and then put it diagonally on the wall. After Xu Yiyang sprayed the fifth bottle of fire extinguisher, he said to Zhao Xin: "Brother Xin, let me down!"
Zhao Xin immediately bent down and let Xu Yiyang jump off his neck. Then Xu Yiyang immediately picked up a can of cart-type fire extinguisher and said to Chen Meng and Li Yiming: "Help me hold up the ladder!"
The two people immediately stood on the left and right, supporting the two legs of the bamboo ladder with their feet, and then held on to both sides.
Xu Yiyang immediately changed to the 20 kilogram cart-type fire extinguisher from the Internet cafe. That fire extinguisher has a large capacity and a large nozzle. The amount of dry powder released instantly and the duration of continuous suppression are much stronger than the tank-type fire extinguisher. Use it to suppress Flame, the effect is bound to be stronger.
A twenty-kilogram trolley fire extinguisher has a dry powder capacity of twenty kilograms. Adding the cart, container, pressure gauge, and nozzle, it weighs over twenty-five kilograms. Carrying it up a ladder is somewhat difficult.
But soon, Xu Yiyang felt a light touch on his hand. It turned out that Zhao Xin helped him drag it from underneath, which immediately saved a lot of energy.
Xu Yiyang climbed between the two windows on the second floor. The heat waves coming from both sides burned his cheeks, making him feel very hot, but it was still within the bearable range.
Lu Di was also ready at this time. She held a microphone and stood in front of the camera. Behind her was the burning building and Xu Yiyang who was climbing a ladder carrying a huge cart-type fire extinguisher.
"Viewers, I am now at the scene of the fire in Guangmingli. The building on fire you are seeing now is a small hotel hidden in an alley. You can see that the hotel has four floors in total, and the fire started from the hotel. The second floor burned, and all the windows from the first to fourth floors of this hotel are equipped with anti-theft nets. You can see that there are many trapped people calling for help in the windows on the third and fourth floors."
“In addition, we also saw a group of young people at the fire scene actively putting out the fire. I don’t know who they are or when they came, but it can be seen that they have been using a large number of fire extinguishers to fight the fire. During the time I arrived at the scene, thanks to them, the fire did not get bigger and bigger. It was they who created a glimmer of life for the trapped people on the third and fourth floors!"
At this time, Xu Yiyang had climbed to the height of the second-floor window. He placed the huge fire extinguisher can on the ladder rail in front of him, immediately raised the nozzle of the fire extinguisher, pointed it at one of the windows, and turned on the switch.
At the same time, Lao Zhang's lens also zoomed in on him, putting his entire body into the viewfinder.
With a bang, a huge amount of dry powder spurted out under the action of internal pressure, and the fire here was immediately suppressed.
Previously, because the capacity of bottled fire extinguishers was insufficient and the coverage area was not enough, every time the fire extinguisher was replaced with a new one after spraying, the fire could easily come back.
However, the trolley fire extinguisher has a capacity of 20 kilograms, so the continuous spray immediately controlled the fire and suppressed it bit by bit.
After spraying one can, Xu Yiyang lowered his head and shouted: "Give me another can, pass it from the right, don't leave anyone standing on the left, I'm going to throw the empty one away!"
The person on the left immediately stepped back. Chen Meng and a strange man worked together to lift up a new can of fire extinguishers. Xu Yiyang gritted his teeth and lifted the can of fire extinguishers up.
Turn on the switch and keep squirting!
The fire was like a wild horse that had finally given in, no longer fighting as hard as before.
By the time the second can of trolley fire extinguisher was discharged, most of the fire in the room had been controlled!
In Xu Yiyang's hands, the dry powder fire extinguisher was spraying out as if it was free of charge, and the effect was immediate!
Lu Di held the microphone at this time, but did not face the camera. Instead, he turned his back to the camera and looked at Xu Yiyang, his heart surging with excitement.
Seeing that the flames were effectively suppressed, Lu Di immediately turned his head and said excitedly to the shot: "You can see that the young man at the scene used a larger fire extinguisher to suppress the fire. That's great! As long as they can suppress the fire Continue to control it and wait until the fire fighters arrive. I believe the trapped people upstairs will have a very high probability of surviving!"
Soon, the flames basically stopped coming out of the two windows, leaving only a little bit of black smoke wrapped in white dry powder and billowing out. There were not too many open flames inside, and I believe it will be completely extinguished soon.
So Xu Yiyang asked Chen Meng and the others to pick up the third can of trolley fire extinguisher, open the nozzle and continue spraying into the room.
Seeing that the fire was basically under control, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Xu Yiyang's bedmates looked at him as if he were a god.
Only then did they understand why Xu Yiyang had to buy so many fire extinguishers when the Internet cafe opened.
It turns out that Xu Yiyang is taking precautions before they happen! The initial investment of several thousand dollars can save lives at critical moments! And it saved more than one life!
When Xu Yiyang put out all the open fires in the room by the window, he could see through the window that there were still open fires inside the second floor.
However, it is no longer possible to spray from the window. If you want to extinguish the open flame inside, you can probably only go up the internal stairs.
However, we were all ordinary people without any protective equipment. Xu Yiyang really didn't dare to go in rashly. Otherwise, if he was revealed to be in there, or if he slept with someone else or other young people were revealed to be in there, wouldn't it be another tragedy
Just when I didn't know what to do, the siren of the fire truck could be heard outside.
Firefighters are coming!
Although everyone at the fire scene felt as if the process of putting out the fire was very long, in fact, it was only a few minutes from the time Xu Yiyang and the others entered the house to now.
The nearest fire squadron is almost three kilometers away, and they arrived very quickly.
Seeing the fire truck coming, Xu Yiyang breathed a sigh of relief.
The alley could barely allow the fire truck to enter, but the alley was too narrow and the fire truck couldn't get in no matter what when it reached the entrance. Then a dozen well-equipped firefighters rushed over on foot.
When the firefighters arrived in the yard, they were shocked by the situation in the yard.
Twenty or thirty young people were surrounding the window on the first floor. Some people were setting up bamboo ladders and spraying in with huge cart-type fire extinguishers. Others were setting up human ladders and spraying in with can-type fire extinguishers. There were twenty or thirty spent fire extinguishers piled on the ground, large and small.
The fire brigade instructor leading the team was stunned. He thought it was a private fire brigade. Seeing that there was no open flame at the scene, he immediately inquired about the situation and learned that many people were trapped on the third and fourth floors. He immediately organized firefighting Team members went upstairs to rescue people.
Xu Yiyang finished spraying the fire extinguisher in his hand, and the fire in the room on the second floor was completely extinguished.
The air was filled with the burnt smell of burning fire and the salty smell of dry powder in the fire extinguisher.
The firefighters immediately began to put out the open fire inside the second floor. The fire itself burned out from the room, so the biggest fire was in the room where Xu Yiyang had been putting out the fire with a fire extinguisher.
Although the fire in the corridor was also very large, more than a dozen firefighters carrying professional protective and household-proof equipment quickly extinguished all the open flames inside, including the stairs, and then went upstairs to save people.
Only then did Xu Yiyang get off the bamboo ladder, feeling relieved.
Shen Lele hurriedly came up, grabbed his hand, and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Are you tired?"
"It's okay." Xu Yiyang smiled slightly and said, "It's just that my arm is a little sore."
Shen Lele hurriedly used her sleeves to wipe off the sweat on Xu Yiyang's face, as well as the mixture of sweat mixed with black ash and dry powder.
At this time, the firefighters had begun to take the people downstairs. Several people were already unconscious due to inhaling too much smoke, and they were able to escape only by being carried on the backs of the firefighters.
A large group of people who came from the Internet cafe consciously stepped aside, and everyone watched silently as the firefighters kept rescuing people.
Because they personally participated in fighting the fire, everyone now wants to know the casualties of the people inside. At the same time, they are also praying silently in their hearts that no one will die.
Lu Di and Lao Zhang came to Xu Yiyang at this time. She took the microphone and said to Xu Yiyang: "Hello, I am a reporter from China Overseas Satellite TV. I would like to ask, are you the person in charge here, or are you a member of the people nearby? "
Xu Yiyang never noticed that there were reporters at the scene. He was slightly surprised and then explained: "I am from a nearby Internet cafe."
Lu Di hurriedly asked, "Were you the first to come over to put out the fire?"
"Yes." Xu Yiyang nodded and said, "When we heard there was a fire, we rushed over as soon as possible."
Lu Di looked at the fire extinguisher cans on the floor and asked, "Excuse me, are these fire extinguishers from this hotel, or did you bring them here?"
Xu Yiyang said: "Our Internet cafe has more than 40 bottles of fire extinguishers, so when we heard about the fire, we gathered the guests of the Internet cafe and came over with fire extinguishers."
Lu Di asked in surprise: "Are you the owner of the Internet cafe?"
Xu Yiyang said: "I am one of the bosses."
Lu Di didn't expect that Xu Yiyang was so young and was the owner of an Internet cafe. He seemed to be less than twenty years old.
What's more, what makes her even more incredible is that there are more than 40 bottles of fire extinguishers in an Internet cafe...
