After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 301: Chapter 238: Fear of War is a Crime

Cao Yi had come to admire Fang Huai to some extent.

He remembered that this model of a radio-controlled mobile water cannon was only distributed last year and had been used only two or three times; the conclusion everyone reached was that it wasn’t easy to handle.

Because it was cumbersome, weighing over 30 pounds, and required connecting to a hose, it was slow to deploy and not agile.

Over the course of the year, they hadn’t really encountered an environment that suited its use.

Everyone had only focused on its range and angle of fire, ignoring its agility, but they had overlooked its safety features.

But now, he saw that in the case of a possible explosion of a vehicle fire on this open road, it was a perfect match. Not only did it have powerful water jets, but in situations where visibility was adequate, the operator could maintain a safe distance of at least 30 meters from the fire source.

Utilizing it like this at this moment was quite fitting.

But, fate was not on their side.

"Where’s the foam? Why isn’t the foam here yet?!" Fang Huai yelled in the front yard.

The tank truck’s fire, which had been largely suppressed, flared again because of the continual absence of foam. The oil, clinging to the surface of the water, was burning and flowing out, creating a flowing fire.

Moreover, as more splashed oil increased, the area of the running fire began to grow, and it had already started burning onto the road.

Sun Jingwu poked his head out, somewhat puzzled, and replied:

"I turned the foam on a while ago! It’s been so long; it shouldn’t be like this!"

"Fang Huai, spraying like this won’t work; the whole truck will catch on fire soon! The water gun is more flexible. I’ll go and use the water gun to drive back the flames and prevent the running fire from spreading!" Zhao Jinchen yelled as he went to pick up a water gun from beside the vehicle.

The people in the courtyard also started to speak up: "Don’t use the water cannon like that anymore! The force is too strong, and it’s scattering the fire everywhere!"

At that moment, a figure in combat uniform dashed out of the garage.

"I’ll go!"

Wang Peng ran nimbly.

Fang Huai’s "free charge" just now was his guide to action.

Fang Huai was even more agile.

Dressed in a camouflage uniform, he took three steps in two strides and rushed forward, grabbing the back of Wang Peng’s neck and hurling him back.

"What the hell are you trying to do?!"

Fang Huai bellowed, then realized something was amiss and turned to the equipment technician Chen Gong, shouting:

"Squad Leader Chen, can you help me check the induction valve?"

Chen Gong immediately ran to the side of Car No.3 and opened the roller door of an equipment compartment.

With just one glance, he immediately cursed:

"Which fucking idiot closed the foam induction valve? Didn’t we say not to touch it?! Is it your own money you’re spending on the foam?"

As he spoke, he reached out and turned the induction valve that controlled the foam ratio wide open.

Upon hearing this, Fang Huai instantly felt relieved, but when he turned back, he saw that Zhao Jinchen had already rushed to where the water gun was, with Wang Peng following closely behind.

"The foam is here! Come back!" Fang Huai shouted loudly.

Zhao Jinchen stopped, but Wang Peng didn’t care at all. He moved forward, embraced the water gun, turned on the water, and started spraying the thin fire on the ground.

It resulted in Zhao Jinchen having to step forward, reproaching Wang Peng while snatching the water gun from him.

Soon, at the nozzle of the water cannon, the water finally began to turn white.

April’s unexpected snow.

Fang Huai controlled the water cannon with the remote control, changing the angle of the spray.

This time, the coverage of the Type B foam, designed for oil fires, quickly extinguished the fire source, and no running fire could form again. free𝑤ebnovel.com

If there hadn’t been a problem with the foam, a close foam line should have put out the fire earlier.

Zhao Jinchen and Wang Peng, who were closer to the fire source, got drenched by the strong force of the water cannon spray, covered in foul-smelling foam.

Their trip out there can’t be said to be useless, but they only did some later work to cool down the tank.

Fang Huai turned off the water cannon, then began to grumble.

"A perfectly good Safety Callout Education Lesson has been totally messed up! Who the hell closed the induction valve?!"

Most of the people looked bewildered.

Car No.3 wasn’t a primary combat vehicle to begin with, and it didn’t carry much equipment. Usual maintenance and nightly checks mostly involved replacing hoses, and that valve usually didn’t need to be touched. Perhaps they had all seen it, but most of them didn’t know what it was for.

Cao Yi was also cautioning himself at this moment. He circled Car No.3, then opened and looked through the equipment compartments of a few specialty vehicles, only to discover that there were many switches and instruments on the vehicles that even he didn’t recognize.

In this day and age, there were too many imported goods. Many labels were in English or even German, and even after looking at them time and again, it was impossible to understand what they were for.

Zhao Jinchen, who had just returned, was even more bad-tempered, and he started cursing at Wang Peng:

"Who gave you combat uniform? Whose combat uniform are you wearing? Who the fuck told you to snatch my water gun? Totally messing around recklessly!"

Zhang Tianwang stepped forward at that moment, pulling the aggrieved Wang Peng by the side to face Zhao Jinchen and said:

"Wang Peng was indeed too rash just now, but his courage is commendable, right? Just be more careful next time."

In fact, he had noticed that Wang Peng probably hadn’t learned to use the water gun properly in his original squadron. He sprayed one way and then another, and the stream was always direct without creating a coherent flow of water, which failed to block the falling oil from contacting the flame and forming the running fire.

However, he was very satisfied with Wang Peng’s field training today. In his view, Wang Peng’s overall performance among the new recruits he had seen was outstanding, no worse than Fang Huai’s, and as for experience in callouts, that was something you could learn, right?

With everyone watching, he couldn’t let Wang Peng be looked down upon just because of this little mistake.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jinchen took it very seriously and said loudly:

"A rash move without punishment, what if there’s another rash move next time? Who knows if one such move could be deadly?"
