The building was completely shrouded in smoke!
The narrow corridor was filled with gray smoke. The visibility was less than three meters, and only the faint green glow of the safety warning lights could be seen as a guide!
If someone with claustrophobia was here, they would be so scared that they would collapse to the ground and find it difficult to move forward.
At this moment, under Jiang Chen's lead, everyone formed a long line and walked down the corridor.
Although everyone was still far away from the source of the fire, Jiang Chen still couldn't let his guard down. As he walked, he asked everyone,""Everyone, you must lie low and cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel. Take small breaths. Remember not to get up and take deep breaths!”
"Isn't it just some smoke? Was it necessary? I'm not afraid!"
At this moment, some aunties and uncles did not listen to his instructions at all. They did not lie down to avoid the smoke and took deep breaths!
Jiang Chen frowned and said,""You'd better listen to me, because smoke is often the deadliest thing in a fire!”
"According to incomplete statistics, 75% to 80% of all fire deaths are caused by smoke!”
"There are a lot of toxic components in the fire, such as carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, sulfur dioxide, etc. These gases are harmful to the human body to varying degrees!”
"When the carbon dioxide content in the air reaches 1.28%, a person will suffocate to death within one to three minutes. When the content reaches 3%, a person will die immediately after inhaling a few mouthfuls!”
"Although carbon dioxide is non-toxic, when it reaches a certain concentration, it will cause a person to breathe rapidly and increase the amount of smoking.”
"Although the fire only reached the fifth floor and you think that the danger is far away, the smoke is enough to fill the entire building.”
"This is like a small bonfire that can also produce a large amount of smoke!”
Hearing this, the stubborn aunties and uncles were shocked. They never expected that the seemingly harmless smoke could actually cause death!
Without waiting for Jiang Chen's reminder, they quickly covered their mouths and noses and lowered their bodies according to Jiang Chen's instructions.
However, someone could not help but ask,"Even if we cover our mouths and noses and lie down, won't we still be able to breathe in the smoke? What's the use?"
Jiang Chen explained,"More experiments have shown that an ordinary towel folded 16 layers can eliminate 90% of the smoke, and folded eight layers can eliminate 60%. In this case, as long as the person walks slowly, there will be no stimulation and enough time to escape!”
"The smoke is lighter, so it will usually float up and fill the upper part of the space. Therefore, if you lie down or crawl, the space close to the ground will be a layer of air that can be breathed!”
Hearing this, the aunties and the rest of the people immediately shut up. The rest of the people also seemed to have learned from Jiang Chen. They immediately folded their towels or clothes carefully and followed Jiang Chen's instructions. They carefully covered their mouths and noses, tried to stay low, took small breaths, and slowly moved forward.
Jiang Chen smiled with satisfaction. This way, the efficiency of escape was much faster!
When carrying out fire rescue, the most feared thing was the chaos caused by too many people!
Once such a situation occurred, the rescue personnel would not be able to command them, which would greatly increase the difficulty and risk of the rescue!
The reason why Jiang Chen explained this to everyone was to let everyone know the seriousness of the matter and strictly follow his instructions.
Not long after, they reached the fifteenth floor!
However, another problem was placed in front of Jiang Chen!
Almost all the areas below the fifteenth floor of the building were rented to major companies as office areas.
Therefore, in order to distinguish between residents and outsiders, the property management actually locked the door of the 15th floor.
This lock, which was usually used to prevent outsiders from entering, blocked the escape route of Jiang Chen and the others!
"Your fire awareness is simply too poor. The stairwell is an escape route, but it's actually locked.”Jiang Chen scolded.
"We can't do anything about the leader's orders. I have the key, I have the key!”The property manager said with a sad face. He took out a key in a panic and tried it one by one.
Jiang Chen observed the increasing smoke around him. By the time the property management found the right key, it would be too late!
At this moment, Jiang Chen's gaze was suddenly attracted by the fire cabinet next to him. There was a fire axe inside!
Jiang Chen didn't say anything as he smashed the glass of the fire cabinet with his elbow and took out the fire axe!
"Move aside!"
Without waiting for everyone to react, Jiang Chen roared, grabbed the fire axe, and hacked at the iron chain of the door!
Clang!
With a crisp sound, the connection of the iron chain was directly broken!
For a moment, everyone present was shocked by Jiang Chen's fierce action!
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!”
Jiang Chen's shout woke everyone up and they rushed out together.
Without time to rest, Jiang Chen quickly found the front of the building, rushed to the window, and broke the sealed window with his axe!
Fresh air surged in!
At this moment, the ladder just happened to rise up!
"Old Jiang!"
The firefighters on the ladder immediately waved when they saw Jiang Chen!
Jiang Chen was relieved. It was none other than his teammate, Fatty Zhao. Because he gained weight after eating, everyone gave him the nickname "Fatty".
"Aren't you on vacation? Why is it on this? Captain Liu is really amazing. I said you were here, but you were really here!”Fatty Zhao exclaimed.
"This Old Liu has some tacit understanding. Usually, I don't give him any points!”Jiang Chen laughed and immediately said,""There are twenty people trapped here, and none of them are injured. The upper floors of the building have basically been cleared. There are no more trapped people.”
"Alright, no problem!" Fatty Zhao agreed and then began to arrange for the evacuation of the personnel.
However, just as the evacuation was coming to an end, a middle-aged woman suddenly screamed.
"My father! My father is missing! My father hasn't come out yet!"
Jiang Chen's expression froze as he turned to look at the last evacuation personnel and asked,""What's going on? Didn't you say there were only twenty people?"
The property manager also looked helpless and said,"Indeed, there are only 20 people trapped. There are only 19 people here now. We're still missing one. I think…I think we were in a hurry to escape and got lost!”
