Seven members of Guangzhou Conghua Flying Emergency Rescue Association rescued trapped and injured people

China News Service, Guangzhou, October 1 (Reporter Zhang Lu) The reporter learned from the Guangzhou Conghua District Feixiang Emergency Rescue Association on October 1 that recently, seven members of the association drove back to Conghua after completing their diving skills training. On the way back to the Zhongluotan section of the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway in the direction of Shaoguan, an accident occurred in a white car. The front of the car caught fire and the co-pilot was injured and trapped. At critical moments, the team members remained calm in the face of danger, took the initiative, and carried out scientific rescue operations, quickly launching an emergency rescue that raced against the fire and against time.

On that day, the car was involved in an accident while driving. The body of the car was severely deformed and damaged, and flames shot out from the front of the car. The co-pilot was firmly trapped by the deformed car body and was unable to evacuate independently. At that time, the fire continued to spread, gradually approaching the trapped people, and may cause secondary accidents such as deflagration at any time. Fatal risks on the scene were layered, and rescue operations were urgent.

Faced with the sudden danger, the rescue team members did not hesitate at all. They quickly checked the scene and assessed the risks. With the professionalism and practical experience accumulated in the normal emergency training, they quickly clarified the division of labor and performed their respective duties. Some team members immediately dialed 110, 120, and 119 for help to report the location of the accident and danger; some team members deployed warning cones to divert traffic flow at the scene and guide oncoming vehicles to avoid them. At the same time, they used fire extinguishers to put out the fire at the front of the car to gain golden rescue time for the trapped people to escape.

Due to the serious damage caused by the impact of the vehicle, the fire spread rapidly, and there was a risk of explosion of the entire vehicle. The team members raced against time to rescue people. After questioning and judging that the trapped persons' cervical and lumbar spines were fine, they quickly evacuated them to a safe area away from the accident vehicles. They briefly bandaged the injured parts and continued to calm the panic of the injured. At the same time, they closely monitored vital signs and waited for the arrival of the 120 ambulance to prepare for the handover of the injured.

Less than two minutes after the trapped people were rescued, the fire at the scene was completely out of control. The entire car was enveloped in raging flames and thick smoke filled the sky. Due to limited vehicle-mounted fire-fighting materials, it was difficult to cope with the violent fire, and the fire-fighting effect was very limited. In order to ensure the safety of themselves and passing vehicles, the team members continued to divert congested vehicles and clear rescue channels to provide guarantee for subsequent professional vehicles to arrive at the scene for rescue.

It is understood that the entire emergency response lasted 40 minutes, from encountering danger, emergency fire extinguishing, breaking obstacles to rescue people, comforting the injured, to diverting traffic flow and opening life channels. It was not until 120 medical staff successfully took over the injured and the on-site rescue work was handed over that all the team members quietly evacuated the scene and returned to Conghua. (over)
