At 11:01 on December 28, the Yubei District Fire and Rescue Detachment received a call from the masses, saying that a house in Liangchahu Village, Dawan Town, had caused a fire due to smoked bacon, and requested rescue. After receiving the alarm, the detachment immediately mobilized the Shuangfengqiao Fire and Rescue Station to rush to the scene for disposal.
When fire and rescue personnel arrived at the scene of the fire, they found that the house where the fire started was an idle residential building, which is currently uninhabited, the first floor is used to smoke bacon, and the second floor is vacant. Due to the open fire baking the building for nearly an hour, part of the non-load-bearing structure of the burning building tilted, increasing the risk of extinguishing, so the fire commander ordered the use of long bamboo poles to break down the inclined brick walls and brick columns.
According to the owner of the house, she smoked bacon here for many years, and the amount of smoked bacon reached 5 tons at the most, but this time she took a phone call in the process of smoking bacon and went out for a short while, and there was a fire, and about 2 tons of bacon and a large number of firewood were stacked in the room.
At 12:15 on the same day, the open fire was extinguished, and fire rescue personnel transferred bacon and charred firewood that had been smoked into "black lumps" from the room where the fire started.
Yubei Fire reminds the public that after the winter solstice, residents in Sichuan and Chongqing have begun to smoke bacon, please choose an open place for smoked bacon, do not set up a shed in the house, the roof, the corridor and other places for temporary convenience. At the same time, the bacon should be kept at a safe distance from the fire source to prevent the oil on the bacon from dripping into the carbon pile and causing an open flame to cause a fire. After smoking, be sure to completely extinguish the open flame and sparks with water before leaving. In case of fire, please call 119 to call the police.
