The fireman carried the trapped old man on his back At 11:48 on the 11th, an old man was trapped at home due to flood in qingshuijing village, Longshan Town, Fogang County, Qingyuan City. After receiving the alarm, firefighters of Fogang County fire rescue brigade immediately went to the scene for rescue. "Most of the houses are rural bungalows, which are in low-lying terrain as a whole. The water flow on the site is fast, and the water depth has reached our knees." According to firefighters, they waded across the river under the protection of traction rope according to the site conditions, put on life jackets for the elderly and take protective measures. Then, another group of firefighters tightened the rope and used the rope protection to slowly guide the elderly to move. When the road is slippery and inconvenient to walk, firefighters carry the old man on their back and move forward carefully. After about an hour of intensive rescue, the old man was safely transferred to a safe area. At 3:38 a.m. on the same day, people were trapped near Beishan dairy farm, Dongcheng Town, Yangjiang City. There was serious flooding and ponding on the site, which was about 1.5 meters deep, and there was a downhill road along the way, with rapid water flow. After the firefighters arrive, they lead the rope along the road to the downstairs of the building where the trapped people are located, and use the horizontal bar ladder to build a "bridge" to transfer the trapped people to a safe area. "It's going to rain harder today. Isn't there anyone in the house?" At 4:22 a.m., Yangjiang firefighters came to Hegang village in Yangdong to rescue the trapped residents. As the deepest ponding on the site has reached 1.7m, firefighters had to take rubber boats to the houses where the trapped residents are located to carry out rescue. Finally, three children and one adult were successfully transferred to a safe area. At 6:00 on the 11th, Zhongshan meteorological observatory upgraded the rainstorm warning in the southern area (Sanxiang, Tanzhou, Banfu and Shenwan) to red. Under the influence of short-term heavy rainfall, many people sought medical treatment and were blocked by ponding. That morning, a 60 year old man living alone in Pingdong market in three townships suddenly suffered from stomach bleeding. Severe pain made her dizzy and trembling her hands. After receiving the call for help, the two firefighters comforted the old man's mood while wading and carrying the old man to the hospital. At the gate of Sanxiang hospital, a group of medical staff waited with wheelchairs in advance. Dozens of minutes later, the old man successfully sought medical treatment and is now receiving further treatment. 39 trapped bus passengers rescued On the evening of May 10, there was waterlogging in Dongyuan County due to heavy rainfall, and many main roads, residential areas and low-lying areas were flooded, with the deepest water depth of 1.5m. "We are near the future city. The bus is trapped on the road. Please come and save us." At 23:11, fire and rescue workers received a call for help from the masses. Two buses carrying 39 people near the future city of the county were besieged by ponding. When firefighters arrived at the scene, the road section was already a vast ocean, and the water depth of the flooded road was more than 50 cm. The river beside the road is still flowing through the embankment and into the road, and the passenger bus is trapped. At this time, the rainfall is still continuing, the water level is rising, the ponding is turbulent and turbid, and the underwater situation is unknown. According to the on-site situation, the fire commander immediately began to use the rubber boat to transfer the trapped people in the vehicle, "we will transfer the trapped passengers in batches by means of traction and carrying".
