Firefighters dig for two hours to save lives

Original title: man was crushed underground with multiple fractures, firefighters dig out workers with bare hands for two hours

4hw.com.cn on August 10, a worker fell into a well at a construction site in Dougezhuang, Chaoyang District. The worker's legs were buried and water was seeping in. The situation was critical.

After receiving the alarm, the fire brigade immediately called the police, but because the objective conditions on the scene were very unfavorable, the firemen had to dig the workers out of the mud with their hands. Finally, after two hours of efforts, the workers who fell into the well were successfully rescued.

At 12:57 noon on the 10th, Dougezhuang fire squadron received a warning that a worker fell into a well at the construction site of Beijing Xuanwu Huaxia Municipal Engineering Co., Ltd., 30 meters outside the east gate of 171 middle school in Dougezhuang. The police said that a worker at the scene fell into a well, his legs were buried by cement boards, and there was continuous water seepage around him. Only his head kept breathing outside. The situation at the scene was very critical.

After the firemen arrived at the scene at the first time, the commander decided to send a fireman to go down the well with a ladder to investigate the environment and the physical condition of the trapped people, and to simply bandage them at the same time.

It is understood that the trapped person's body has caused multiple fractures, and if the rescue is not timely, the man may lose consciousness; moreover, the soil around the pit is soft, and there is a risk of secondary collapse at any time, and the water is still permeating into the rescue parts.

At this time, the most important thing is that the whole rescue task must be against the clock. Experienced firefighters all know that if the cement board is not removed, the rescue task will be more difficult. Finally, it was decided that Li Zhuoli, the leader of the combat team, would use excavators and cranes to lift the stones, and then excavate them manually.

Due to the deep mud in the whole well, it was very inconvenient for rescue workers to enter the mud. After the cement board on the man was lifted away, his body was completely submerged in the mud except his head. The squadron rescue workers could only dig the mud around the man with their hands for rescue. With the unremitting efforts of the squadron commanders and fighters, the mud around the man's body was gradually hollowed out, and the rescue workers used a stretcher to send the man out of the well.

After the man was rescued from the well, he was immediately sent to the ambulance for first aid. The firefighters left at ease after learning that the man was not in danger.

It is understood that the firefighter who ventured to go down the well to save people was Li Zhuo, leader of Dougezhuang squadron of Chaoyang fire rescue detachment.

Dialogue for two hours of unarmed dredging without delay

Beiqing Daily: after arriving at the scene, what did you see?

Li Zhuo: a worker is waiting for rescue at the bottom of the well. His neck is covered with mud, and his leg is pressed down by a 300 kg or 400 kg cement block. As it has just rained, water is still seeping down around the shaft wall, and the surrounding soil is also falling.

Beijing Youth Daily: how do you go down the well to rescue in this situation?

Li Zhuo: the situation is critical. I can't bear to think about it. I'm the squad leader, so I want to go down the well to see the situation.

The well was four or five meters deep. I went down the ladder and found that it was full of mud. For me, I couldn't move as well as I did on land.

Beijing Youth Daily: in this case, we need to clear the mud first, right?

Li Zhuo: first, I use a bucket to clean up part of the water in the well to prevent the water level from rising, and then I clean up the mud in the well. The cleanup took two hours.

Beijing Youth Daily: I see that the cement block is surrounded by edges and corners. How can you guarantee that you won't get hurt?

Li Zhuo: in order to avoid being cut, I wore gloves at the beginning, but it was not convenient when dredging, so I had to take off the gloves. When the rescue was over, I found that I had 20 or 30 small holes in my hands.

Beijing Youth Daily: how is the injured condition of the rescued workers?

Li Zhuo: first, I tied the cement block to the excavator. After the cement block was completely fixed, I moved the heavy object out. After the worker was rescued, his leg was seriously injured and was rushed to the hospital by 120 ambulance waiting for him.
