After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 797: 514

Looking again at the young Fang Huai, there was now a sense of importance in their eyes.

Firefighting has its remarkable figures.

There is even one whose name is remembered by the leadership!

Faced with this life-or-death crisis, Director Li swiftly issued an order,

"Comrades, I announce an appointment! Comrade Fang Huai is appointed as the deputy chief commander on site! The superior’s order, the chemical area’s safety line, must be defended at all costs! Even if the fire reaches under you, you can’t take a single step back!"

Comrade Shu Yin, Comrade Fang Huai, please arrange the fire control lines immediately!"

These words stunned everyone present.

This young man, on the same level as our regimental commander? And personally appointed by the leadership?

Chief Cong was momentarily unsure of how to proceed, "Little Fang, then you... you take charge?"

Fang Huai immediately got into the role, walked to the table, and waved his hands, "Regimental commander! You take the lead! You arrange, I’ll provide reinforcements! Continue giving orders! We don’t have much time!"

"Good!"

In such a fire scene, no one was in the mood for pleasantries, and Chief Cong continued loudly from where he had left off:

"Order!

Comrade Guo Wei! You are the chief of staff! It’s up to you to organize, set up an isolation line in front of the hazardous material tanks!

This is a line of death! You must not retreat a single step!

Deploy two mobile water cannons around the burst pipeline and four foam nozzles; for Tank 103, the existing three combat groups will retreat and cool the adjacent tanks to prevent further explosions; all other forces, block the spreading fire!"

I know it’s not easy for our comrades on the front lines! It breaks my heart to have them charge into the flames! But I must ask this of you, please ensure the commanders calm their troops’ spirits!"

If we successfully handle this fire, I promise you! Everyone will return with honors, each person on the scene, starting from a third-class merit at the least!"

"Yes!!"

Having loudly responded, they looked again at Fang Huai, the deputy chief commander.

But Fang Huai waved his hand, "Let the firefighting comrades take action first! Spread out the lines! If anything comes up, I will notify via the two-way radio!"

Then, he looked toward the city’s leadership, "Are the leaders from water services, transportation, power, and onsite communication here?"

A few people raised their hands.

"Here, here, here!"

Facing a major disaster, department heads, tethered by the city leadership to this battlefield, lived and died alongside the soldiers, putting aside their pretensions.

Fang Huai waved them over, "Leaders, please come in!"

Knowing that what remained was local support, the firefighting comrades stood up and left, giving up their seats to the leaders.

Chief Cong also introduced a middle-aged man with a scholarly appearance more emphatically, "This is our Mayor Li!"

Mayor Li also pushed up his glasses and stated,

"Comrade Xiao Fang, rest assured, you are the deputy chief commander directly appointed by the leadership. Here, this is Dalian’s only battlefield now! Whatever you need, just ask, and we will mobilize the entire city’s resources to meet your demands as much as possible!"

"Thank you, Mayor Li!"

Fang Huai immediately saluted and then, without much politeness, raised his demands.

"To ensure we can proceed with the next steps, the first necessity is electricity! The substation in the port area has been completely destroyed! Apart from Tank 103, can the slightly farther tank areas’ electricity be restored in three hours? With power, we can initially shut off all the surrounding pipeline valves, which will affect the fire’s spread!" free𝑤ebnovel.com

The power leader was stunned.

"This, this, this... the substation has blown up..."

However, Chief Cong immediately chimed in, "Don’t you have two Volvo emergency power supply trucks? Each costs over a million! If they can’t be useful now, when can they? We might as well have them! Had they arrived earlier, the electricity of Tank 103 could have been restored!"

With this statement, even Fang Huai was dumbfounded.

Damn, Chief Cong is quite a character, restoring electricity to Tank 103, could this blatant lie be told?

Tank 103 is surrounded by fire; are you King Kong? Try driving in there and see!

Still thinking about trucks at this time?

Model, price, effortlessly mentioned, seems like he’s had his eye on them for more than a day or two!

But the power officials, seeing the big boss from the city watching, could only grit their teeth and say, "Okay! We’ll bring them right over! We’ll try to restore the power!"

Fang Huai coughed lightly, "Water services, can the pressure of the hydrant network here be increased?"

"It’s already at maximum pressure, adding more would be difficult!"

Chief Cong jumped out again, patting Fang Huai as if to show solidarity, "Tsk, just shut down non-essential water use nearby, focusing fully here should do the trick!"

The atmosphere fell silent again.

Even Fang Huai knew, this was a bad move.

Cutting off water in the height of summer, the public would definitely be upset.

But Chief Cong’s point wasn’t wrong, and the water services begrudgingly agreed.

Fang Huai cleared his throat again, "Umm... transportation and urban construction, can we coordinate a large number of engineering vehicles to wait at the entrance now? And transport sand and soil! The underground sewer network has already been filled with oil and caught fire! On the surface, the suppression force is insufficient! We must fill pipes with sand, stack walls with soil, and dig trenches with vehicles! The engineering force on the scene is not enough!"

No sooner had he spoken, than Chief Cong struck a pose with his hands on his hips.

"Isn’t Dashang nearby? They have quite a few engineering vehicles! They also have plenty of building materials at their construction site! I think it should be left to them!

Also, Mr. Liu, you need to take good care of our logistics! You see how hard our soldiers are working up front, they can’t even drink water, and given the duration of this fire, their physical strength is greatly drained; we need your help with their meals, can you provide some convenient and quick food options for the soldiers?"
