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

Chapter 724 Furniture factory fire!
"Deng deng deng"

Just when everyone was confused, a young man hurried upstairs and shouted to everyone: "No, there's a fire down there."

Hearing this, other factory leaders, including Director Xu, were stunned.

Everyone's first reaction was not to run away or go downstairs to check, but to look at Li Yi in unison.

The person in front of me just now said that there was a hidden danger in the wiring in the factory, but he didn't expect it to catch on fire the next moment. Should I say that you have foresight, or that you are a crow's mouth?

It was Zhang Ziqiang who reacted first, opened the way directly in front, and ran downstairs while protecting Li Yi.

Others followed suit and followed suit.

When they ran down from the second floor, they found that several places on the first floor were already burning. Xue Jianming and others were organizing workers to put out the fire.

Seeing Li Yi and others coming down from upstairs, Xue Jianming immediately stepped forward and said: "Director, leaders, this is dangerous, please get out first!"

"Okay, hurry up and put out the fire. We must save these wood. Our factory finally got this back!" Director Xu said.

"Yes"

While Director Xu was giving Xue Jianming a task, Li Yi was observing the fire on the first floor.

There were no less than three places on fire. Judging from the billowing black smoke coming out of the fire, it was probably chemical raw materials that had been ignited.

It is not easy to put out such a fire without professional fire-fighting equipment.

But he had just seen the fire protection facilities in this building, and they were obviously just decorations.

It is obviously impossible to rely solely on manpower to carry water to extinguish the fire, so this building will most likely be destroyed.

It's just that Li Yi was a little confused. Logically speaking, the fire would burn out after a few days, so why did it suddenly break out now.

What's more, he just asked Xue Jianming and others to seize the time for maintenance, and also asked them to clean up the flammable materials around them. They obviously agreed, so how could this happen again!

While Li Yi was meditating, news of the fire here had spread to the two previous workshops, and a large number of employees ran over carrying various tools to help put out the fire.

Others are working together to move raw materials and finished products from the warehouse to the outside.

On the one hand, it is to facilitate fire fighting, on the other hand, it is worried that these things will also be ignited, so as to minimize losses.

Of course, someone else ran to the factory office and called the fire department!

Most of the workers and cadres these days have faith. When an accident occurs, the first thing everyone thinks about is not to escape for their lives, but to protect the collective property.

However, despite the large number of people coming, the fire was still not under control and instead burned more and more intensely.

Not long after this, smoke was billowing from the southwest on the first floor, and fire was shooting into the sky.

Since the fire-fighting facilities were basically unusable, and the buckets and basins held by the workers were not close to the core area of ​​the fire, the fire was in danger of getting out of control.

When Li Yi saw this, he immediately said to Factory Director Xu on the side: "The fire is out of control. Let the workers evacuate, otherwise there may be casualties!"

"But if the fire is allowed to burn like this, our building will be doomed!" Director Xu said eagerly.

"You can still build the building if it is burned out, but if the people are gone, it will really be gone!" Li Yi said loudly.

Hearing this, Director Xu also fell silent.

He looked at the smoke-filled complex with some sadness, and finally gritted his teeth and issued an order for employees to evacuate the complex!
As all the workers who were fighting the fire were evacuated from the large warehouse, the fire was out of control and burned even more fiercely.

Hundreds of workers and cadres gathered in front of the complex, looking at the raging fire. Everyone's face showed expressions of grief, anger and pain, and some female workers even shed tears.Others were concerned about the money and belongings in the dormitory, and some even wanted to rush in to rescue their personal belongings, but they were all stopped.

Just when everyone was about to despair, the sound of fire engines came from outside.

Soon four fire trucks drove into the yard of the furniture factory, and then a large number of fire fighters rushed out of the vehicles and began to put out the fire.

High-pressure water cannons were pointed at the sea of ​​​​fire, and water jets spurted out in rapids.
While the fire fighters were putting out the fire, Li Yi called Xue Jianming to his side and asked about the details of the fire.

According to Xue Jianming, just after Li Yi and the others went upstairs, he immediately called for the electrician Lao Qiao from the factory and planned to let him and several apprentices check the lines.

At the same time, he called dozens of employees from the warehouse over to prepare to move the flammable materials away.

However, what was unexpected was that when Lao Qiao opened the meter box, a spark suddenly came out of it.

When the sparks fell, they just ignited the weathered wire sheath, and then fell into the glue bucket on the ground, and the fire started immediately.

At the same time, in addition to the meter box, there were two short circuits and fires.

Since there were multiple fires, and they did not have professional fire extinguishing tools around them, they ended up focusing on one thing and not the other, which eventually led to the fire getting out of control.

After listening to Xue Jianming's words, Li Yi immediately understood that there must be something wrong with the meter box.

If no one moved, it might be able to hold on for a few days, but now if anyone moves, it will directly explode the hidden danger.

"Why don't you turn off the main gate when you open the meter box?" Li Yi frowned.

"I don't know what Lao Qiao thinks about this."

Li Yi knew that Xue Jianming was not to blame for this matter, it could only be said that time was fate.

The only good thing is that all the employees are at work at this time and there is no one upstairs. Even if the building in front of me is burned down, it will only be a loss of some money.

Unlike previous lives, this fire directly caused more than a hundred casualties!
Li Yi has read the records of the fire. According to the records in the file, the workers were resting in the dormitory after get off work when the fire broke out. When they saw the fire, they immediately ran downstairs and prepared to escape the fire scene.

However, the first floor had already turned into a sea of ​​​​fire, and there was no possibility of escaping. The only safe passage that isolated the warehouse on the first floor had already been filled with debris and was impassable due to the spread of the fire.

Upon seeing this, the workers quickly returned to the second floor, preparing to bypass the production workshop in the corridor on the second floor and go to the third floor to wait for rescue. However, the workers on the third floor did not know the situation below. As soon as they heard that there was a fire in the factory, they fought hard I squeezed desperately to the second floor.

How could the small corridor on the second floor accommodate so many people at the same time? For a moment, people going upstairs and people going downstairs were crowded together. People stepped on each other and gathered in a pile.

As the fire further expanded, the fire on the first floor had already spread to the second floor. The rising temperature and billowing smoke caused the workers who were still trapped on the second floor to wail miserably.

But because the people in the factory had already made a pot of porridge, the workers who had not had time to squeeze into the corridor on the second floor had to be burned alive by the fire. This wave killed and injured more than a dozen people.

Some people did not want to stand on the second floor waiting to die, so they picked up a piece of cloth and rushed into the sea of ​​​​fire, but then they were no longer seen and disappeared in the billowing smoke.

As the fire continued to expand, some workers planned to pry open the windows and glass of the second-floor workshop and prepare to jump out to escape.

But the flames on the first floor had already burned the iron frame on the window red, and the female workers simply could not pry it open. Instead, they would be burned beyond recognition and bloody.

Some desperate workers began to run to the roof of the third floor and jumped down, hoping to be rescued. However, the third floor was more than ten meters high. If they jumped, they would be disabled even if they did not die.
As time went by, people continued to jump from the third floor. However, after landing on the first floor, they were quickly devoured by raging fire. The scene was very tragic with corpses strewn all over the ground.

After the firefighters arrived, they quickly started spraying high-pressure water cannons in an attempt to put out the fire.

In the end, after more than two hours of continuous firefighting by firefighters, this tragic tragedy finally came to an end. The sustainable high-temperature combustion had turned the entire factory into a hell. More than a hundred workers were killed in the flames. The scene was full of charred corpses and Disgusting burnt smell
Although the situation before us is equally sad, and the furniture factory's losses are definitely not small, fortunately, no casualties were caused, which is a blessing among misfortunes!

While Li Yi was deep in thought, he saw Director Xu, who had just gone to negotiate with the fire chief, walking toward him.
