At 10:47 p.m., the Beijing Municipal Fire and Rescue Corps received a report that a traffic accident occurred at the intersection of Miguan Road and Outer Ring Road in Miyun District, and some people were trapped. The Miyun District Fire and Rescue Detachment dispatched more than 20 fire commanders and fighters to the scene for rescue, and Wang Xuecheng, the second squad leader of the special service of the Shilipu Fire and Rescue Station, arrived at the scene and found that the situation was very complicated and urgent.

A semi-trailer loaded with more than 100 tons of sand and gravel overturned, pressing a car on the isolation pier in the middle of the road, the car flipped 180 degrees, the bottom of the car was facing up, and the deformation was serious, and in the car, there was a family of three trapped, including a little girl less than three years old.
"At that time, the trapped vehicle was completely upside down, and it was covered with sand and gravel, and there were only two doors and part of the front of the car that were not covered. We secured the car, and from the front of the car, we saw the male trapped person, stuck in the driver's seat. Wang Xuecheng recalled that they immediately demolished the front windshield and dashboard and steering wheel of the vehicle, but because the sand and gravel buried the vehicle, the rescuers had a relatively small working surface and limited space.
A large amount of sand and gravel, narrow working surfaces, hot summer nights, and the lack of oxygen for the trapped people are all tests. The fire and rescue personnel quickly determined the rescue plan, and while contacting large machinery to come to support, they used shovels to dig and hand planer to clean up stones, and at the same time, with the help of 120 emergency personnel on the scene, they used medical oxygen bags to deliver oxygen to the trapped people.

Wang Yongxin, deputy head of the Shilipu Fire and Rescue Station of the Miyun District Fire and Rescue Detachment, recalled that after confirming the safety of the vehicle, the car was hoisted 10 cm off the ground by a crane at the scene, and the rescuers drilled into the car to further expand the gap between the steering wheel, the roof and the instrument panel. Finally, at 0:44 a.m. on August 3, the driver of the car was rescued.
Due to the severe deformation of the vehicle, the space of the woman and the little girl trapped in the back row was extremely cramped, and the little girl's head was squeezed into the gap between the B-pillar and the driver's seat of the vehicle, and the child's mother could not move her legs. Nearly two hours passed, and their emotions and physical strength had reached a critical point, and the difficult rescue became even more difficult, and they had to suspend the demolition several times.
At this time, Zhan Wulin, chief of the combat training section of the Miyun District Fire and Rescue Detachment, was ordered to rush to the scene, and he led two team members to set up a rapid rescue team to quickly determine a new rescue plan, calm the emotions of the trapped people, and open the rescue channel. "We found the right entry point, using the space between the B-pillar and the saddle, expanding little by little, cutting little by little, while protecting the little girl's head from hurting her, and finally opened a small passage and dragged the little girl out for the first time."

"The child is strong! Come on! It's out! With the shouts of the people at the scene, at 1:10 a.m., the little girl trapped in the back row was rescued. Zhan Wulin recalled that the child blinked with big eyes at the time and was not injured, and the child's mother was relieved, but obviously physically exhausted. "I comforted her, I said it's okay, big sister, don't worry, hold on a little longer, just a few minutes, don't sleep. Actually, I was still wondering where to start. We readjusted, cut off the position of the saddle track, opened a bigger gap, and finally rescued her, which took only a few minutes. ”

"Come out—" The rescuers at the scene shouted excitedly, the child's mother was successfully rescued, and the first responders who had been waiting at the scene immediately stepped forward and put her on a stretcher. The whole rescue process lasted nearly 2.5 hours, and the family of three had no obvious external injuries, normal vital signs, and was transferred to 120 to be sent to the hospital for treatment.
The rescuers who were originally lying on their stomachs, kneeling, and lying down got up from the stones, and their clothes were already soaked with sweat, but their mood at the moment was only "happy". Wang Yongxin, deputy head of the Shilipu Fire and Rescue Station of the Miyun District Fire and Rescue Detachment, said that no one at the scene shouted that he was tired and insisted on completing the rescue.
"It's worth saving someone's life!" Zhan Wulin, who has more than 20 years of rescue experience, said that this is the value and mission of the fire brigade.
