花蓮七星潭海域19日中午發生民眾落海事件,家屬報案後由空勤總隊派遣黑鷹直升機進行海上搜救。
花蓮縣新城鄉七星潭海域今(19)日中午發生一起驚險的海上救援案件!一名陳姓男子因故前往七星潭後不慎落海漂流,家屬焦急報案尋求空中支援。內政部空勤總隊花蓮駐地勤務第一大隊第三隊接獲命令後,迅速出動黑鷹直升機趕赴現場,在浩瀚大海中定位漂浮的陳男,並由搜救員搭乘吊籃出艙順利把人救起,移交海巡隊與救護車送醫。
空勤花蓮駐地指出,今日中午接獲總隊勤務指揮中心指示,陳姓民眾報案稱其弟弟騎乘機車前往七星潭後疑似落海漂流,請求空中兵力急援。空勤第一大隊第三隊隨即派遣UH-60M黑鷹直升機編號NA-711,於下午1時49分起飛執行海上搜救。
黑鷹直升機於下午2時05分飛抵七星潭目標海域,機組員隨即展開定點搜索,憑藉敏銳觀察力立刻發現陳男正隨著海浪漂浮在海面上。機組員迅速評估海域與海象風險後,搜救員出艙採取吊籃救援方式,於下午2時11分順利將陳男吊掛入艙。直升機隨後於2時17分降落岸際,將陳男交由海巡人員與救護車接手後送醫療,圓滿完成任務。
對於這次能在大海中成功救回落海民眾,執行任務的機組員感動表示,海上搜救任務因浪高與流速影響,要成功救到人的機會其實非常渺茫且難得。這次除了空勤機組員與海巡搜救人員平時扎實嚴格的救援技巧發揮功效,待救者本身懂得海上漂浮等求生技巧也是保命關鍵,才能在第一時間配合搜救隊伍,共同創造出這起難能可貴的海上救援奇蹟。

The signboard of a motorcycle repair shop on Minzu Road, Xindian District, New Taipei City caught fire around 8 a.m. The fire department dispatched 13 fire trucks and 36 personnel to the rescue and evacuated 9 residents of the same apartment building. The fire was extinguished within 10 minutes and no casualties were caused. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

The Audit Department report pointed out that 15% to 20% of residential fire alarms in Taiwan are overdue or have been used for more than ten years and may fail at critical moments. The New Taipei City Fire Department explained that applications for residential alarms are mainly for apartments below the fifth floor and open-air apartments, with priority given to groups such as the elderly living alone and low-income households. It also emphasized that installation must be done within three days after receipt. The kitchen must be equipped with a constant-temperature type, and the corridors of large living rooms must be equipped with photoelectric types. For daily maintenance, follow the "press, wipe, and replace" formula.

A weed fire broke out on the bank of the riverside trail outside Section 6 of Huanhe East Road, Xindian District, New Taipei City. The fire department quickly put out the fire after receiving the report. A 76-year-old man suffered first-degree burns on his hands and face when he was suspected of putting out a fire by himself. He was sent to the hospital for treatment and his life was not in danger. The cause of the fire is yet to be investigated.

A fire broke out in a house on Shatian Road, Shalu District, Taichung City at around 12 noon. Upon receiving the report, the fire department immediately dispatched 11 vehicles and 15 people from the Shalu, Wuqi, Qingshui and Longjing units to rescue the fire. It took about 20 minutes to extinguish the fire. Fortunately, no one was injured. The scene was a brick building on the second floor and iron on the third floor. The fire broke out on the first floor, burning an area of about 25 square meters. The residents, who were suspected to be many foreign migrant workers, ran for their lives in a hurry when the fire broke out, without even having time to put on their shirts. The cause of the fire remains to be investigated.

As of June this year, the installation rate of residential fire alarms nationwide reached 99.17%. However, among the main causes of fire escape deaths in 2024, failure to install alarms and automatic alarm equipment will still account for 59.46%. The Fire Department pointed out that about 170,000 households refused to install them, and about 70,000 households had residential alarm batteries that had exceeded their useful life. Maintenance and promotion need to be strengthened. In response to electrical fires and the difficulty in escaping for the elderly, firefighting units have proposed six major countermeasures, including improving the intrinsic safety of home appliances, updating old wiring, promoting flame-proof products, and strengthening fire prevention education. The report of the Audit Department shows that the Beijing Municipal Consumer Affairs Bureau has achieved remarkable results in promoting residential alarms, but the problem of expired batteries needs to be solved urgently.
