After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 642: Chapter 457: Is His Name Really Number One? _3

Instructor then wrote down:

1. Building structure

2. New building materials

Afterward, he turned around, tossed the chalk onto the desk, interlocked the index fingers of both hands, and propped them on the desk.

The first sentence, a question.

"All of you here are veteran firefighters, but you probably haven’t worked as commanders before. Who can tell me, when a fire breaks out and the commander of the first responding squadron arrives at the scene, what are the first few questions they should consider?"

Everyone looked at the blackboard, feeling that the answer was already there, so some started to recite.

"Building structure, building materials..."

But the instructor shook his head, "Don’t try to be clever. These are just the topics of today’s lecture. I’ll give you one minute to answer freely. If I don’t get the answer I’m looking for, I will start calling on you, and each person must provide two answers. You’ve all been firefighters for several years; if you can’t think of two answers, don’t blame me for not giving you credits."

Upon hearing this, silence ensued below.

Even those who usually dozed off as soon as the class started were now wide-eyed.

False remedies for dozing off: coffee, tea, energy drinks.

Real remedy for dozing off: class in session, teacher about to call on students.

At this moment, some began to quickly ponder answers, while others remained calm and relaxed, true masters of probability theory.

Damn, getting anxious, forty-seven people, how could it possibly be my turn?

"Report, upon arriving near the scene, observe if there are any fire hydrants along the road!"

The first responder appeared after a few seconds, and the instructor slowly nodded, but then pointed at the blackboard again:

"That’s... alright, I suppose. Here’s a hint, it’s related to today’s topic, an assessment of the fire situation after arriving at the scene."

Now, everyone understood.

The reason why not many had answered before wasn’t that they didn’t understand the fire scene, but that they knew too much and were momentarily unsure where to start.

With the theme clarified, direction was given to the answers.

"Assess the size of the fire and determine the situation of trapped individuals, deciding whether to establish an assault team!"

"Locate the source of the fire!"

"Determine the position of the divider for an interior attack!"

"Establish a cover team, perform door control!" freewebnovel.cσ๓

With active responses from the crowd, the instructor kept nodding, though his smile still held expectations.

A minute passed, and about a dozen people had responded. Silence fell once more, as these students, who had previously held the role of squad leader, had voiced most of their general knowledge about the fire scene.

Fang Huai was also flipping through books, searching for relevant content, preparing to see if there were any unique insights in the books.

However, the instructor’s voice interrupted his train of thought.

"Number 1, you’re called... Fang Huai, right? It’s your turn to speak."

The others let out a breath of relief.

Everyone had spoken to some extent, if called upon again, they could only repeat what had just been said.

Fang Huai stood up, not surprised that the instructor had called on him, for he had noticed the instructor’s interested gaze.

"Report, um... I believe that all factors of the fire scene should boil down to the three elements of fire: air, heat, and fuel. In controlling fires, our main focus is to alter two of these elements: air and heat. Aside from removing movable fuel, all our actions should be considered in relation to changing air and heat. As for specific actions, there are many, but without a detailed description of the fire scene, I cannot answer."

"Hmm..." The instructor smiled and said:

"Your answer is somewhat clever, but you didn’t address my question directly. I asked what are the first things a commander of the first response squadron should think about upon arriving at the scene.

I also mentioned that it should be combined with fire assessment, which means I was asking you, from which aspects should a commander assess a fire.

There is relevant theory on this question.

The tactical key points of fire assessment can be divided into three questions."

As the instructor spoke, he turned to write on the blackboard:

One, What do I have? (Tactical resources)

Two, Where is it going? (How the fire will develop)

Three, How do I stop it? (Preventing the spread of the fire)

Afterwards, he tapped the blackboard lightly with his hand and said to Fang Huai:

"Sit down, Comrade Fang Huai. The leadership reviewed your plan for our teaching and research group to assess.

I have seen it, and indeed, your insights were quite unique. It can be said that regarding the development of the times, you have great foresight and have made full use of the products of the new era’s technology, but your problem lies in the lack of a theoretical framework making your plan somewhat disorganized and lacking focus. Therefore, for theoretical matters, I suggest you take fewer leaves and study here properly. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Our teaching and research group can provide you with guidance."

As soon as these words came out, Fang Huai’s expression darkened.

Damn it, are you trying to steal my peach?
