There will soon be embers drifting down the mountain, hurry up and start! The isolation strip needs to be shortened, at least sixty meters!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai urged, snapping everyone out of their surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, Cao Yi still had huge doubts in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that I don’t support you, but the precision of your words just now was over the top, you know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With eyes that can see so accurately, what’s the use of instruments?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assign a Fang Huai everywhere, build a high platform and just sit there watching every day, that would do!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Fang Huai’s subsequent arrangements were meticulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Song Lin, Wang Peng, Han Yong, start from the 60-meter mark along the burning edge below us, position from the left side we’re facing, near that big tree, lay out the warning strip all the way to that bare boulder on the right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right there, see it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai pointed down the hill to two spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it!\" several people nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, Forestry Team, set up the isolation strip along the outer perimeter of the warning strip!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Okay! Are we really not managing the fire on the mountain? The fire spreads slower downhill, but uphill is much harder to deal with!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai waved his hand and pointed again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We naturally have to deal with the uphill fire! I see you’ve brought small hoses and water guns, as well as water storage bladders! The problem now is the lack of a water source, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Place your water storage bladders by the side of the isolation strip below, connect your pumps and the 40-diameter hoses, Firefighting Squad One, go down the mountain and connect the supply hose to fill their water storage bladders!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Wang, start supplying water from that position, the pressure should be able to reach here, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Wang looked in the direction Fang Huai was pointing, the path along the way was very steep, with several three to four-meter-high ledges, and it was long, about a hundred meters, also passing a point where there was a fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the hose is laid with water cooling it, maybe it wouldn’t be an issue, but it would be hard for people to pass through there, unable to withstand the high temperature around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a straight line is risky, with high temperatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a detour means the hoses won’t be long enough, and the longer the hoses, the higher the demand on the pumps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t consider supplying water uphill from here because the difficulty was too great, it would require a lot of effort, a single side couldn’t complete it alone, and there was also no estimate of the other side’s water supply and output capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fang Huai had it all figured out in his mind, confident about the capabilities of the Forestry Team carrying that forest fire special water pump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... Hoses, we’ve got five 30-meter reels, which should be enough. You guys could keep the water storage bladders filled there, the pump pressure shouldn’t be a big issue, but over there... Who can go down?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Wang expressed his doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai smiled and looked towards He Zhijun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laying hoses at long distances is your specialty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A 100-plus meter 40-diameter hose, can the two of us handle it? We’d have to heave the whole thing in the air,\" Fang Huai said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Zhijun immediately understood his meaning, chuckled, and as always had the same response:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can handle it, I can handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Second Squadron, only Fang Huai could rouse him so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, He Zhijun had made substantial gains in strength and endurance, increasing his single bar from sixty-seven to sixty-nine, and shaving off several seconds on a loaded five-kilometer run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All thanks to Fang Huai pushing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, He Zhijun could achieve impressive results on the national combat competition field because while his strength and fitness levels were high, it was more about his skill level and explosive power that gave him the edge, along with a spot-on performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But luck isn’t something you have every year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a pinnacle contest, it’s about all-around capability, luck, and mindset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year, each corps was nurturing numerous experts, and early on, they had been grooming their peak competition state, which was why Zhang Zhongting said that He might not even make the top ten this year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, He Zhijun had been relentlessly pushed by Fang Huai to break his physical limits again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once at their real limit, even a slight breakthrough is the fruition of profuse sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because he refused to be beaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By someone like Fang Huai, who didn’t treat limits like limits and kept on breaking through right before their eyes, he was too much like a goading whip to those like He Zhijun and Huang Yong, who were inexhaustible in training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai, quite willing to be that whip, received a response and immediately proceeded with the instructions:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let’s go! Lay out the hoses!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the hoses are laid out, Firefighting Squad One will begin spraying water from high to low, prioritizing the extinguishing of crown fires, to prevent the embers from scattering all over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind Force Extinguisher! My Squadron has brought six hand-held units! I see you guys have... four backpack units, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have two more than you, but your backpack units have much more power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your team cleaning the isolation line will not handle firefighting, just gather the equipment, and two of our two-way radios will suffice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extinguishers will be temporarily given to our Special Duty Squad and Emergency Rescue Team to use, half above and half below, sweeping the outer fire!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for cutting down trees... Zeng Zhigao and Hu Hongzhi, take turns and stagger along the line, try to cut small trees, big ones just need to be isolated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Haishan and Chen Zhenghai, if there are trees about to fall, you two with the heavy tonnage, take turns pushing them! Just push them downhill! At the same time, pay attention to the condition of the trees to ensure the safety of the operators!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Firefighting Squad Two and the Volunteer Fire Brigade come over to reinforce, we will have an easier time with manpower!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Ye is coordinating personnel assistance on the frontline below, Instructor Cao goes to high ground to watch the wind direction and the overall situation below the mountain, and notify me immediately of any changes. Captain Wang, you are responsible for the cleaning speed and safety of your team! The two-way radios you three are carrying should be kept on an independent channel... let’s use channel six!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll go cut trees with them first, and when the hoses are laid out, I’ll come back up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be sure to watch out for sudden high sections of the terrain, those places are most prone to flashover! Stay well clear of those, and if open flames have already started, run away quickly, don’t try to extinguish them, let it burn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there’s any situation, just call me directly on channel six, and I’ll come over anytime!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After brief instructions, the assignments were much more precise than before, with clear tasks laid out for everyone, leaving almost no one confused and ready to blindly follow the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Wang, seeing such meticulous arrangements, was somewhat impressed and shouted loudly, \"Then let’s do as you say, and get to work!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he called out to his own team members:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow me down the mountain! Go a hundred meters below the fire layer, and I’ll assign the tasks to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Fang Huai glance at Cao Yi and Ye Jiahong, smiling:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any additional suggestions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arrangements took into account both the possibility of using fire to fight fire and rain. While it was a bit risky to suppress the flames, if it really rained, there would be no need to ignite fires, and the entire fire scene could be extinguished, preserving a large area of trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using fire to fight fire has always been the traditional way of combating large forest fires. After creating a fire break, controlled burns are used, considering the wind direction, to create a fire-free area and cut off the spread of the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A typical case of sacrificing the pawn to save the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people who see firefighters setting fires are surprised, and some who cannot clearly see the situation may even shout, \"The firefighters just went into the mountain and got burned by flying embers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, the fires are set by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a necessity, the fire is too big. This is the safest method, and over time it has naturally become a kind of mindset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Fang Huai felt that today’s situation hadn’t reached the point of last resort and wanted to do his best to preserve this valuable forest resource.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither of the two men had a better plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Yi chuckled and playfully punched Fang Huai, saying, \"Damn, it still has to be you, saying exactly what I was thinking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exactly, exactly, your brainwaves telepathically transmitted to me here, I’m just the mouthpiece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiahong even skewed his leg, took a royal step and gave a Boy Scout salute, \"I will follow Commander Fang’s arrangements completely! Loyalty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing no outsiders around and not wearing a military uniform, Fang Huai infrequently played along, casually returning a sloppy salute, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Safety!\" Chen Zhenghai was also a professional joker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bunch of fools, I’ll report you all one day!\" Cao Yi rolled his eyes and headed to higher ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai also cheerfully proceeded downhill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Koreans gave their salutes, they would shout slogans like \"loyalty,\" \"unity,\" \"safety,\" \"electric shock,\" \"white bone,\" etc. The Japanese Kanto Army used to shout \"forever loyal,\" the Germans in WWII shouted \"long live the leader,\" and the Soviets had \"for Stalin, for the Motherland, hurrah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether in modern times or earlier, these were slogans praising the leader, the state, or a military charge, some filled with militaristic thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, our own slogans are the most energizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For, the people, serve!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without strong winds on its side, this large fire was still burning at a slow pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a light breeze would scatter the embers, showing the indomitable nature of the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire was still stubbornly expanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burning branches emitted a crackling groan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Water’s here! Fang Huai!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though He Zhijun was the assistant to the squadron leader, he was also the number one staff of Firefighting Squad One. At this moment, he carried the 65 millimeter hose of the squadron to the Forest Fire Brigade’s collapsible water tank, placing the outlet into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This collapsible water tank, also known as \"forest fire storage pool,\" is made of PVC material, lightweight and portable. Once set up, its wide bottom and narrow mouth can hold up to two tons of water, serving as a water relay station. At this point, water could be pumped through a water pump, solving the problem of insufficient pressure from the fire trucks below and reaching the fire source on the peak above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With water here, it’s just a matter of connecting the water pump to the hoses to go uphill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hoses commonly used by Forest Firefighting for uphill work are diameters of 25, 30, 40, much smaller than the 65 and 80 used by Urban Fire Brigades. First, the water pump pressure may not be sufficient; second, they are lighter, making them easier to carry empty and draw water for quick extension; and third, they consume less water, making the supply last longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after going a hundred meters uphill, they require four lengths of 30-meter hoses to be connected. Fang Huai’s plan was to bypass the burning point, take a slightly open side path to drag the hoses uphill and then, holding the ends taut, fling the hoses over to land beside the burning layer, running straight through it, and then quickly begin to dowse the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other issues are solvable; the hardest part is the flinging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 30-meter long hoses are very thick, brought over on hose reels, four large reels 120 meters in total—not to mention hoses, even a rope wouldn’t be easy to fling around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, this isn’t something most people would even dare to consider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with He Zhijun as his teammate, Fang Huai dared to challenge the impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Connect the hoses, let’s get started!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2082,"2026-06-02T10:16:52.043Z",1,"novelbin.me","a3abd024cbaedcf22e5929d4c49f2ecbd6682c06a0ea3f69dd31784b32485997","after-being-reborn-i-became-a-firefighter-again-chapter-402","after-being-reborn-i-became-a-firefighter-again-chapter-350",807,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-being-reborn-i-became-a-firefighter-again-cover.jpg"]
