Cause of the incident
At around 10 o'clock in the morning on October 11, a fire broke out in Baxian Town, Pingli County, Ankang City. A fire truck loaded with six firefighters rushed to the scene. Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, who expected that there would be unforeseen circumstances. At a bend, the fire truck suddenly lost control, rushed straight out of the guardrail, tumbled and fell into a ditch on the side of the road.
There was a loud "boom", and the guardrail was instantly knocked to pieces. The fire truck, which was originally rushing to the rescue, became the object that needed to be rescued in the blink of an eye. After the accident, the local authorities immediately organized forces to carry out rescue. Unfortunately, five of the six firefighters died on the spot, and only one survived but was seriously injured.
The average age of this group of heroes is only 26 years old. Some have just gotten married, and some are about to become fathers. They originally had a great life waiting to be pursued, but they were forever frozen in this accident. What kind of accident is this, it's a disaster!
After the incident, videos and photos of the accident scene went viral on the Internet. I saw that the fire truck was seriously deformed, and the front of the car was almost completely destroyed. The ravine is full of rescuers, who are nervously carrying out the rescue. Seeing this scene, many netizens couldn't help crying.
It had just rained that day, and the road was slippery. Some witnesses said that the fire truck may have lost control because of the bad road conditions. There is also speculation that there could be a problem with the vehicle itself. After all, fire trucks usually have to drive at high speeds, and they are easy to wear out. Whatever the reason, the tragedy is heart-wrenching.

The editor has something to say
When I saw this news, I really had mixed feelings. This group of young firefighters was originally going to save people, but they didn't expect to be killed. They have interpreted the oath of "ready to sacrifice for the people" with their lives, and they are well-deserved heroes!
We must always remember these heroes, and we must care more about their families. At the same time, it is also hoped that the relevant departments will seriously investigate the cause of the accident and take measures to prevent the recurrence of similar tragedies. Let us mourn together for the fallen heroes, may the deceased rest in peace, and the wounded recover soon!
