Riverside Police.

Chapter 228
The high temperature is hot, and the fire is not easy, but high!

In the past month, a total of nine ship fire accidents occurred in Yingchuan Port and nearby waters, four of which occurred at the anchorage of Yingchuan Port, two occurred on the Binqi River, one occurred in a shipyard by the river, and one occurred in the waterway. There was another incident at the pier on the other side of the river.

It happened once every three days on average, and every time a fire broke out, 001 had to be dispatched, successfully handling one fire after another, and maximizing the economic loss of the ship.

Fifteen minutes ago, the cargo hold of "Lian Gang Huo 15" caught fire and asked for help through the VHF radio.

Today is Sunday, and only Han Xiangning and Lao Bao, the driver of Supervisor 39, are on duty at the water rescue center. Liang Xiaoyu, who was accompanying his fiancée on the "shop boat", heard the call and immediately asked Captain Wang and Zhu Baogen to prepare the car and notify Marine Police [-]th Squadron.

At the same time, he drove a small boat to the floating pier of the rescue center, boarded Supervisor 39 with Han Xiangning, and rushed to the fire water area to check the fire.

This is an inland river freighter of more than 4000 tons, with thick smoke billowing on the deck, and the fire is spreading to the living cabin and engine room.

There are fire pumps and fire nozzles on the freighter, but it is very difficult for the crew to save themselves in this posture.

There are also fire water guns on the supervision boat. Xiaoyu is preparing nervously, but it is also unrealistic to rely on the small water guns of the supervision boat to put out the fire.

Han Xiangning didn't care about calculating how long it would take for 001 to arrive, and asked the master to drive the supervision boat around the burning ship from a distance, observe carefully, and raised the radio communicator again: "Liangang 102, The fire rescue boat is coming, please stay calm."

"Liangang 102 understands."

"Listen to my command from now on, please immediately reduce the speed of the ship and reduce the air pressure in the cabin, please repeat my command."

"Received, reduce the speed of the ship and reduce the air pressure in the cabin."

"Twenty to the left rudder, adjust the course so that the burning part is leeward, and see if the flame can be blown overboard."

"Received, adjust the course, twenty left."

"Hold on, get off the main channel."

"receive."

"Drop anchor!"

"Cut off the oil and gas pipeline and seal the engine room!"

……

Saving people is more important than putting out fires.

After Han Xiangning issued a series of instructions, he confirmed that the ship on fire would not block the channel, and immediately ordered the captain to organize the crew to abandon the ship.

When the eleven crew members escaped from the upwind to the supervisory board 39, 001 finally arrived. Yang Yong, Luo Wenjiang, and Zhu Baogen once again became firefighters, operating high-pressure water cannons and four firefighters under the command of Liang Xiaoyu. Use a high-pressure water gun to put out the fire from upwind.

The supervision boat of the Hong Kong patrol team followed closely. Under the order of Han Xiangning, the on-site commander, he turned on the fire pump on the boat like Supervisor 39, and used the fire hose to spray water to help put out the fire.

After nearly an hour of hard work, the fire in Liangang 102 was basically extinguished without causing casualties.

001 once again "little horse-drawn cart", under the guidance and warning of two supervision boats, dragged "Liangang 102" to a safe anchorage, so that the Harbor Supervision Bureau and the Water Branch can investigate the accident and deal with it.

Although Han Xiangning did not do physical work like Xiaoyu and the others, he was in charge of the on-site command and was very nervous, and there was no air conditioner installed on the supervision boat, so he was almost suffering from heat stroke. As soon as he got ashore, he sat down and didn't want to move, let alone go to the dormitory to take a shower and change clothes up.

Liang Xiaoyu returned to 001, and huddled with Yang Yong and Luo Wenjiang in the command cabin to blow on the air conditioner.

"Where are Captain Wang and Old Zhu?"

"They were smoking in the cab."

"I want to smoke too."

"Come on, open the door."

"Whatever you smoke, the cigarettes are all wet."

Yang Yong took out the half pack of cigarettes soaked in water and threw it into the trash can.

Luo Wenjiang knew that he didn't like to smoke the cheapest cigarettes Captain Wang and Lao Zhu usually smoked, so he joked, "Little fish, do you have cold drinks on your boat?"

"Yes, there are ice bricks, iced soda and cold beer."

"Bring us a bottle of soda. Brother Yang just needs to buy cigarettes. Ask your girlfriend to drive the boat over."

"Please drink, my soda is paid for!"

"Stingy, earning so much money is reluctant to buy us some soda."

"It's not petty, it's business."

"Okay, okay, let's pay for it and ask your girlfriend to send it over quickly."

"Brother Yang, what cigarettes do you want?"

"Two boxes of red plums."

"Two bottles of soda and two boxes of red plums are not enough for gas." Liang Xiaoyu muttered, but still turned on the VHF radio and asked Zhang Yuzhen to bring the "shop boat" over.

Han Xiangning heard clearly on the shore, thinking that they had helped a lot, and that Yang Da and the others from the Hong Kong Patrol Team must be very thirsty right now, so he immediately sat up and picked up the radio intercom:
"Yuzhen, I'm Han Xiangning. Cigarettes and soda are credited to the rescue center. I don't drink soda, I eat ice cubes. By the way, help me send ten bottles of soda to Supervisor 41."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

"Slow down and be safe."

"Sister Ningning, don't worry I'll sail."

……

After work, blowing on the air conditioner and drinking cold drinks is definitely the most pleasant thing in the hot summer.

Water rescue centers have a treat, and there's something for everyone.

Captain Wang sat in the driver's cab drinking iced soda, looked at the wide river and sighed: "I didn't know there were so many fires if I didn't come to Yingchuan Harbor. The Fourth Marine Police Squadron is almost becoming a water fire brigade."

"Jia Zhi and Ma Jintao didn't participate. We, Xiao Yang and Xiao Luo were mainly responsible for fighting the fire."

"Jia Zhi and Ma Jintao just didn't come to the river to fight the fire. There was also a fire inside the lock, but their side was easier to save than ours. The river there is not wide, and there are many boats on the river. Just put the pump on the boat and you can draw water. Water."

When talking about firefighting, Zhu Baogen couldn't help laughing and said, "I didn't realize that Ning Ning is a pretty good girl. She commanded so many people just now, and even Yang Da listened to her."

"When she was in the traffic control center, she commanded and dispatched, and directing rescue is similar to commanding and dispatching."

Captain Wang thought for a while, and then sighed: "Xu was right when he said that the fire management on the river is too chaotic. The Hong Kong Supervision Bureau has the right to control it, and the water sub-bureau has the right to control it. They all have the right to control it, but there is no fire brigade. .When there is a fire, you have to recruit others to fight the fire. What is that?"

There was no outsider in the cab, so Zhu Baogen had nothing to worry about. He raised his head and said, "Management can collect money, but it costs money to build a fireboat and set up a water fire brigade. The money is very active, and the money is spent except Xu Suo." Willing to do it?"

Rough words are not rough.

Captain Wang didn't expect Zhu Baogen to have such insight, he was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Xianyu is willing."

Zhu Baogen asked subconsciously: "Captain Wang, what does Xianyu want to do?"

"He told me yesterday that the barge in the institute has been launched for almost six years, and it will need to be repaired in four years at most. The barge is not 001, and it is impossible to use someone else's dock without paying. The maintenance cost of the main and auxiliary engines of 001 is It is getting higher and higher, and it consumes too much fuel, and it will have to be replaced in three or four years."

"How much will it cost?"

"It costs at least 15 yuan to repair the pontoon dock, and at least 25 yuan to replace two main engines and one auxiliary engine. If the high-pressure water cannon is replaced, it is estimated to cost [-] yuan."

"Will the water cannon be replaced?"

"Salted fish said that our water cannons can only shoot 50 meters. It is no problem to save the fire like today. If there is a fire on the tanker barge or the oil depot or chemical warehouse on the shore, we will definitely not be able to fight the fire. If we go, we will take everyone My life is a trifling matter."

"The water pressure is not strong enough to shoot far enough?"

"Ah."

Captain Wang took out a cigarette and handed it over, and said helplessly: "It's not that you haven't participated in the briefing meeting of fire and explosion accidents. Those tanker barges and chemical warehouses that caught fire either didn't explode, and once they exploded, they were all within 80 meters. It’s dangerous, tell me how many firefighters have died over the years because of fire fighting.”

From a safety point of view, the high-pressure water cannon should be replaced.

Zhu Baogen thought for a while, then asked: "Does Xianyu have that much money?"

"He's writing a report and typing an application."

"Who are you applying for?"

"Shuishang Sub-bureau, Harbor Supervision Bureau, Port Authority, and our Linghai Public Security Bureau, as long as there are units in charge, he has filed an application report."

"Our Linghai Public Security Bureau will definitely not pay. Ding said that the bureau not only has no money, but also owes a lot of foreign debts."

"Who is the bureau in debt to?"

"I owe water bills to the water plant, electricity bills to the power supply bureau, telephone bills to the post and telecommunications bureau, and repair fees to the auto repair shop. The detention center has been built, but the project funds have not been fully paid to them. I heard that the second construction company is going to sue the bureau."

The Linghai Public Security Bureau has no money, and the Shuishang Sub-bureau is equally poor.

The Port Authority is now under the management of the city, and the money is stuck so hard that it probably won't give Xianyu money.

As for the Hong Kong Supervision Bureau, the leader has changed now, and he is not familiar with salted fish...

Captain Wang didn't think Xianyu could get the money, so he simply changed the subject: "He went to divert water today, and he doesn't know when he will be back."

"You can ask Ning Ning, Ning Ning will definitely know."

……

As Captain Wang and Zhu Baogen said, Han Yu is piloting a foreign ship.

The Harbor Supervision Bureau has no pilots, and they are still drawn from the Port Authority.

Cui Qingsong, the pilot of the Port Authority, is an experienced veteran captain who is very familiar with the channel conditions and tides, and knows how deep it is without looking at the depth sounder.

But Comrade Cui was the captain of an offshore freighter before he became a pilot, and the several freighters he served were all very old ones, and he was not very familiar with the ships built in these years, let alone foreign ships.

Today's foreign ship entered the Yangtze River from the Beicao Channel. The Yangtze River is not a sea, and there are so many ships on the river. Otherwise, the section from the mouth of the sea to the Binjiang River would not be known as a golden waterway.

Because there are too many ships on the river, the freighter needs to maneuver constantly.

He gave up twelve knots for a while, and fifteen knots for a while. The foreign helmsman had to accelerate and decelerate frequently under his instructions.

Han Yu is different from him. He has not only learned ship driving but also marine engine technology. Before boarding the ship, he had learned from the ship agent what main engine this ship uses and the working conditions of the main engine.

If the speed cannot be increased, the speed of the ship will naturally also be unable to increase.

Sure enough, the phone on the bridge kept ringing, and the engine department was going crazy, calling constantly to remind me not to run at speeds of [-] to [-].

Old Cui's English is not very good. After listening to it for a while, he finally figured out what was going on. He frowned slightly and asked, "[-] to [-] is the resonance zone?"

"It's not a resonance zone, Mr. Pilot, our main engine is defective, if it keeps running at this speed, it will bring us big trouble."

The foreign captain knew that his English was not very good, so he could only explain in the simplest terms possible.

Old Cui is only responsible for piloting water, as long as the navigation is safe, and he is not the chief engineer, so he does not need to consider the safety of the main engine, so he does not think there is anything wrong with piloting in this way.

The foreign captain was so anxious that Han Yu couldn't stand it anymore, and said in Mandarin: "Master, why don't I go down and have a look."

"Okay, let's see what's going on."

Han Yu whispered a few words to the captain, and followed a sailor to the engine room.

I don’t know if I don’t see it. I was shocked when I saw it. He hurried back to the bridge, stood beside Lao Cui and said calmly: “Their main engine is indeed defective. At 800 rpm, the exhaust temperature of the main engine is rising. The tank will be between 430-470."

It was the first time that Lao Cui encountered such a situation, and he asked inexplicably, "How could there be such a defect?"

"It should be that there is a problem with the matching design of the main engine's working conditions. When the scavenging pressure is low at 750-840 rpm, the exhaust temperature is high. When the scavenging pressure is lower than 1.2, the wastegate valve is set to supply air through the air bottle to drive the supercharger. Spin, above 1.5 it turns off."

For fear that the old comrades would not understand, Han Yu emphasized: "The range is set so large that 750-840 cannot run for a long time. Once the speed is in this range, the exhaust temperature will be particularly high, and it is easy for the exhaust temperature to exceed 430 for a long time. Burn the exhaust valve, so accelerate or decelerate to bypass this area under the premise of safety."

If the main engine is damaged, the cargo ship will be out of control, and once it is out of control, a safety accident will occur.

Old Cui didn't dare to take it seriously anymore. After weighing it up, he simply turned around and said, "Xiao Han, come on. I'm getting old and tired. I'll take a rest first."
