Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 723 On Fire!

Pioneer Furniture Factory. Comprehensive building!
Since a large amount of raw materials are stored in the warehouse, and workers come in and out of it all the time, the door to the warehouse is not closed.

When Li Yi and others came over, a dozen workers were transporting materials from inside.

When everyone walked into the warehouse, Li Yi was stunned by what he saw.

I saw a huge warehouse filled with various raw materials. In addition to various types of wood, there were also a large number of iron barrels near the left side.

Although you can't see clearly what's inside the barrel, you can guess just from the smell coming from the warehouse that it's probably paint, but it could also be glue.

The layout and arrangement of the entire warehouse is very dense and chaotic. After walking in from the outside, I found that many places did not even have aisles for walking.

When he reached the middle of the warehouse, Li Yi also discovered a slope. After asking, he found out that there was a negative floor below, which was also used as a warehouse.

According to Director Xu, all the stuff stored on the negative floor is glue and paint.

Hearing this, Li Yi didn't know how to describe his mood.

While looking at the things stored in the warehouse, Li Yi was also looking at the circuit layout inside.

On the surface, the wiring here looks good, not too messy, and at least much smoother than the wiring in Nianzishan Village.

But Li Yi found that all the lines here were dusty, and the outer skin of the aluminum wires in many places was weathered and cracked.

Such a line may seem like nothing at ordinary times, but once any medium connects the cracked neutral line to the hot line, it may cause a short circuit and a power outage, or even cause a fire.

After turning around in a circle, Li Yi's eyes suddenly fixed on a meter box in the corner.

According to the results of the subsequent fire investigation, this meter box was the earliest point of fire. In other words, it was this inconspicuous, unremarkable, harmless meter box that triggered the catastrophic disaster that killed and injured more than a hundred people.

Director Xu and others were stunned when they saw Li Yi staring at the meter box.

"Comrade Li Yi, is there something wrong with this meter box? Why do you keep staring at this thing?"

Hearing Director Xu's question, Li Yi immediately withdrew his eyes, then looked at him with bright eyes and said: "Director Xu, where is the person in charge of this warehouse? Can I see him?"

"Uh yes!"

Director Xu then turned to the office director behind him and said, "Director Wang, go and call Xiao Guo over!"

"Yes!"

Taking advantage of Director Wang's opportunity to call someone, Director Xu asked curiously: "Comrade Li Yi, is there anything wrong in the warehouse?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "Director Xu, haven't you noticed that your warehouse is like a time bomb?"

"Time bomb, what do you mean?"

Director Xu looked at Li Yi confused, not knowing what he meant.

"I just walked around and found that the wiring in your factory's warehouse is seriously aging and has not been inspected for a long time. There is a risk of fire at any time, especially the meter box."

Then Li Yi pointed to the debris and wood piled nearby and continued: "These are all flammable materials. Once they catch fire, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Director Xu and others were immediately stunned by Li Yi's words, and the expressions of some factory leaders instantly dropped.

As a customer who comes to place an order, this is not something you should worry about.

When you say this, don't you mean that there is something wrong with our management? This is a slap in the face to us people!
In fact, Li Yi didn't want to say it, but seeing the situation in front of him and thinking of the tragic fire, he couldn't help but want to remind them.

Just when the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, I saw a 24-year-old strong man trotting over.

After seeing the young man running over, Li Yi's expression moved slightly!

It's him?

If Li Yi admits correctly, the strong and dark man in front of him is Xiao Jingshu's biological father, Xue Jianming. Li Yi has seen his photo in the file before.Li Yi was thinking about how to get to know him, but he didn't expect to see him so soon.

Xue Jianming strode up to Director Xu and said loudly: "Director, Director Guo has something to do at home today and asked for leave. If you have anything to do, just tell me directly!"

"What's your name?"

"Xue Jianming is a team leader here in the warehouse!" Xue Jianming replied.

Director Xu frowned, and then said: "This Comrade Li Yi has something to do with you, please cooperate!"

"Yes!"

Li Yi knew it was his turn to play. He glanced at Xue Jianming and then asked: "Team Leader Xue, how long has it been since the lines in your warehouse were inspected?"

"It must have been without maintenance for a while!"

"Exactly how many years?"

"It's been at least five years. Anyway, I haven't seen anyone doing maintenance since I entered the factory!"

While talking, Xue Jianming lowered his head and did not dare to look at Director Xu and others.

After getting the answer he wanted, Li Yi stopped asking any more and said immediately: "Team Leader Xue, I suggest you call the electrician from the factory immediately to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the lines here, especially this meter. box, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable!”

"This"

This kind of thing is something he, a team leader, can take charge of. Xue Jianming subconsciously looked at Director Xu.

Director Xu was shocked when he heard that the lines in the warehouse had not been inspected for many years. He also felt a little uneasy when he thought about the safety accidents that had occurred in several factories in the past two years.

After all, he was still an old comrade who focused on stability, so he immediately said: "Just do what Comrade Li Yi said, anyway, it won't take long to do an overhaul!"

"Yes!"

At this time, Li Yi reminded again: "You must pay attention to safety during maintenance and be prepared to put out fires!"

"Yes!"

Li Yi did not stay to watch the line maintenance. In that case, the purpose would be too obvious.

After saying this, he asked Director Xu and the witnesses to take him upstairs to have a look.

The second and third floors are workers' dormitories, generally for single male and female workers. There is only a narrow staircase connecting the two floors.

After going upstairs, the situation here is not very optimistic.

Although each floor is equipped with fire hydrants, the number is very small. There is only one at the stairway, which is obviously a decoration.

Moreover, the old fire extinguishers and old fire hydrants looked rusty and had not been cared about all year round. There was only a yellowed maintenance label, and the year on it had faded, making it impossible to tell which year it was overhauled.

According to the files seen by Li Yi, these fire protection facilities in the factory are indeed just decorations and have never been used since the day they were equipped. No one has taught the factory employees how to use these in emergencies. facility.

According to the memories of some survivors, when the fire broke out, the warehouse guards on the first floor immediately noticed the billowing smoke and immediately organized manpower to put out the fire.

However, due to disrepair, the fire extinguisher in the fire extinguisher box could not be used at all. Then they thought of using fire hydrants to put out the fire, but no one knew how to use the fire hydrant, and they did not know where to introduce the water source.

Furthermore, after entering the second floor corridor, Li Yi saw another speechless scene.

I saw that between the emergency passages on the floor, there were piles of debris, including packed pieces of wood, and sawdust noodles packed in snakeskin bags, with names written on them. These were obviously prepared by the employees to take home and burn on the fire. of.

These things are all flammable, and they are all piled up in these aisles. Once they catch fire, the consequences are unimaginable.

While Li Yi was deep in thought, a burst of chaotic shouting suddenly came from downstairs, and someone could vaguely hear voices shouting "It's bad", "It's on fire", "Hurry up and put out the fire".

Li Yi, who was upstairs, was stunned for a moment, and then an ominous premonition came into his mind, and he secretly thought that he would not be so unlucky.
