High temperatures and scorching heat, fires are not just likely to occur but are frequent!
Just in the past month, Yingchuan Port and the nearby waters have seen nine ship fires, four of which occurred at anchorages at Yingchuan Port, two on Bin Qi River, one at a shipyard by the riverbank, one in the waterway, and one at a dock across the Yangtze River.
One incident every three days on average, and each time a fire broke out, 001 had to be dispatched, successfully handling each emergency and minimizing economic losses to the ships.
Fifteen minutes ago, "Lian Gang Cargo 102" reported a fire in the cargo hold, calling for help via VHF radio.
Today is Sunday, and at the Water Rescue Center only Han Xiangning and the driver Old Bao are on duty on "store ship" accompanying his fiancée Liang Xiaoyu. Upon hearing the call, they immediately asked Captain Wang and Zhu Baogen to prepare the vehicle and notified the Water Police Fourth Squad.
