At the scene, the firefighters were tired and could only take turns resting, and between the breaks, they lay on the ground and leaned on their comrades to rest for a while.
Among the photos from the front line, the reporter found a firefighter with a tired face. His face was covered with smoke marks, and he still had uneaten bread in his hands. The reporter contacted the firefighter in the photo - Liu Hancheng, a firefighter of the Kunming Forest Fire Detachment.
Liu Hancheng told reporters that the photo of the break was taken at about 7 a.m. on March 16. He and his teammates arrived at the scene at about 3 a.m. to extinguish the fire. One night they were at the scene of the fire, standing with water guns to extinguish the fire, some teammates did not want to rest, and many front-liners did not close their eyes and did not eat all night.
Speaking of the scene at that time, Liu Hancheng said that not only himself, but also the teammates who stayed at the scene that night, like him, did not close their eyes for more than 10 hours, and some did not go out of the line of fire for the longest 14 hours, and did not rest. At that time, he saw a grass cushion on the ground, so he casually pulled the spread under him and fell asleep.
In fact, he did not sleep long, and he replaced the team members for about 10 minutes. Liu Hancheng told reporters: "It's not just me, other forest firefighters are the same. All night without closing their eyes. At that time, I was so tired that I couldn't eat the bread in my hand, and I slept on the ground. ”
For forest firefighters, hand-to-hand combat with mountain fires in forest fire fighting is commonplace. Surrounded by mountains and steep terrain, forest firefighters carry more than 40 kilograms of firefighting equipment and hike to the depths of the mountains to find the line of fire. Sometimes the fire target is 1 km in a straight line, and the forest firefighter also has to work on the mountain and climb for 5 hours.
According to the forest firefighters who extinguished the fire at the scene, the temperature on the side of the line of fire is as high as more than 60 degrees Celsius, and if it is very hot, they will cool each other with their teammates with fans or spray water on their faces with water guns to cool down.
