CCTV news: At about 6 p.m. on July 14, 2020, a large truck with a fire in the rear compartment ran wildly in the streets of Liangshan Town, Xinmin City, Shenyang.
Wang Yecheng, a resident of Liangshan Town, Xinmin, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province: The whole fire has risen, it cannot be extinguished, and it has not been extinguished with water.
The owner of the large truck is Sun Gang. That day, he was welding iron rings for the truck in the repair shop, and the welding flowers accidentally ignited the grass curtains in the carriage. Although Sun Gang had quickly set up a fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire, the fire did not weaken, but quickly spread into a huge fire ball.
Sun Gang did not choose to abandon the car to escape, nor did he choose to take off the hook and drive away the front of the truck to reduce his property loss, but chose to risk his life to drive the truck that caught fire out of the downtown area.
Sun Gang, an individual truck driver in Shuangyashan City, Heilongjiang Province: The time is too fast, that is, not a minute, and the fire is even in pieces. I had to move the danger to a safe place, at least with fewer personnel.
Sun Gang, who pushed up the gear, constantly honked the horn to warn, constantly determining the area and driving direction of the safe abandoned car. At this point, the iron sheet in the cab has been baked to deformation, emitting a scorching smell, and the tank that has just been filled with oil will explode at any time. After driving about 5 kilometers, Sun Gang checked that there were no people and houses around and jumped out of the car to escape.
After Sun Gang's deeds were reported by the media, many netizens praised Sun Gang, saying that he was a good driver in China and a civilian hero.
