Chapter 370
The person leading the police team is someone Fang Yang doesn't know. After arriving, he uses a megaphone to urgently evacuate the crowd: "Everyone please pay attention, a fire tornado has occurred on the mountain. Don't think you are safe just because you are far away. This place is already very dangerous. Please pay attention to avoid it, leave this place entirely, and try to stay away."
Whoosh~~
There is a commotion in the crowd.
Standing far away, they don't realize how scary this fire is at all, only feeling it's very magical and seeing it for the first time.
The fire dragon twisting its body and constantly rising looks particularly magical.
However, just at this moment, a piece of wood mixed with a large amount of flames is lifted by the fire tornado and smashed toward this side.
In an instant, everyone panics and rushes to the surroundings like crazy.
For a time, the traffic that had been cleared was blocked again.
Fortunately, after this incident, the people at the foot of the mountain were completely cleared, and the police quickly pulled up a cordon to prohibit anyone from approaching.
In the forest, Fang Yang and the others are standing in the distance watching the firefighters fight the fire.
The supervisor watches the fire tornado constantly moving, and everything it passes is burned to ashes; even trees as thick as a thigh are broken and then burned.
Faced with such a terrifying fire dragon, the fire brigade has no way to deal with it and can only watch it destroy.
You have to know that this is the place where he is going to build a tourist rest area next. If a fire burns everything here, what is the point of building it?
By then, just maintaining this place will consume a large amount of funds.
Before it even opened, it was already losing money, which made him a bit hard to accept.
But now that things have happened, he can only be anxious: "Fang Yang, is there no other way? Could it be that it will keep spinning like this?"
"No!" Fang Yang shakes his head: "This kind of fire is too hard to extinguish; you have to start from underground. Relying solely on water is impossible. With wind resistance and high temperature, water simply cannot get close."
"But the problem is that you are only burning shrubbery here and it hasn't endangered human life, so it's not to the point of fighting it at all costs. Besides, the duration of a fire tornado is not long, which is related to its combustible materials and wind force."
"If you're lucky, it will extinguish automatically in a while; if you're unlucky, it will take several hours to extinguish."
"Oh my god! Several hours? By then, the day lily will be cold!"
Just as the two were chatting, bursts of siren sounds rang out.
Soon, fire trucks arrived at the scene, and more firefighters got off the trucks and came to the scene carrying water hoses.
The captain immediately ordered: "Everyone, aim the water hoses at the base of the fire tornado."
As soon as the words fell, a dozen huge water columns rushed over.
Two people in a group, struggling to hold the water hoses, and a large amount of water vapor evaporated in the air and drifted toward the sky.
However, ten seconds later, the fire tornado not only showed no signs of extinguishing, but it even increased slightly.
Such a result shocked the fire brigade, who were seeing a fire tornado for the first time.
You have to know that the fire brigade usually uses 19mm water hoses, with a pressure reaching 0.35Mpa, which means the fire truck pressurizes the water hose outlet pressure to exceed 3 kilograms.
And in this situation, the captain had already ordered to increase the pressure, and the water hose pressure exceeded 5 kilograms.
So one person couldn't control it at all and it had to be held by two people.
These huge water columns of more than 20 meters rushed over, consuming more than 6 liters of water resources per second.
A dozen water hoses spraying over means that the water used to fight the fire in one second exceeded 0.06 tons!
100 seconds is 1 ton!
Such an exaggerated amount of water going down actually had no effect.
This made everyone a bit hard to accept.
The main thing is that this fire looks less than two meters in diameter, which is not at all in the same weight class as the legendary tornado.
But it is such an inconspicuous fire pillar that keeps refreshing their cognition.
However, this is not the most terrifying part.
Although the dozen fire trucks that came were all large vehicles, they came with their own 15 tons of water storage.
But at this speed, it won't be long before the water in the trucks is used up.
By then, they will have to go far away to connect to water, and this back-and-forth is very likely to cause a more serious fire.
The captain's brows were already furrowed into a 'chuan' shape, and he also realized that continuing like this would definitely not solve the problem, and according to his understanding, the fire tornado would soon disappear by itself.
He immediately commanded again: "Everyone, give up fighting the fire tornado, and do your best to extinguish the fire near it, don't let the flames spread."
"Yes!"
All water columns were separated and rushed toward the surrounding burning areas.
【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1.
——【It's really outrageous. This fire doesn't look that scary from a distance, but why does it feel like it's immune to water and fire? Whether it's water, fire, or wind, hitting it instead makes it burn even more fiercely. Is this the legendary dual immunity to physical and magical attacks? A little squishy, but it's the kind that can't be hit, and its attack power is super high!】
——【It's not dual immunity, it's relatively high immunity. If it encounters something with greater destructive power, it will be broken directly, and it will be gone. For example, detonating a high-yield bomb next to it will blow its airflow away, and it will disappear automatically.】
——【Good guy, watched too much of Fang Yang's live stream, so you're using bombs to solve problems at every turn, right? If this continues, every time something happens in the future, the first thing people think of is nuclear peace! Fang Yang is creating evil. Ever since he used nuclear bombs to extinguish fires and fuel-air bombs to extinguish smog, now every time we see a disaster, the first thing we think of is not how to save it, but whether a nuclear bomb can solve the problem.】
——【Today's one won't go that far. Although the destructive power is strong, as long as the firepower is sufficient, the firefighters can control the fire, and the problem won't be big. As for triggering a volcanic eruption, that's even more nonsense. A fire burning on top, and the magma below erupts? How is that possible!】
At the scene, the fire tornado is still wreaking havoc with its body.
Fortunately, the captain's command worked, and there was no large-scale fire for the time being, except for the dead leaves on the ground.
But as all the surrounding dead leaves were sucked into the fire tornado, and with the surrounding greenery plus the fire brigade fighting the fire, the fire tornado was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
All the firefighters seemed to see hope and fought the fire even harder.
The supervisor in the distance finally showed a hint of joy on his face.
Although the fire tornado could not be extinguished, the reason it could exist was, on one hand, the help of the wind, and on the other hand, its suction drew the surrounding combustible materials into the core to burn.
And now the combustible materials are getting less and less, plus the surrounding temperature is decreasing, which seriously disrupted the vertical convection in the air.
Following this progress, it won't be long before the fire tornado should disappear completely.
But another tricky problem appeared at the moment.
One of the firefighters shouted anxiously: "Captain, the water in the fire truck is almost used up, what should we do!"
Others didn't speak, but from the expressions on their faces, it could be seen that they were facing the same problem.
The captain only felt bursts of headache, thought for a moment, and shouted: "Group 2, Group 3, Group 5, Group 7, go to replenish the water source first, the rest continue to extinguish! After they come back, change to the next batch!"
"Yes!"
The groups that were named immediately stopped fighting the fire and rushed to the fire trucks at the fastest speed to head to the foot of the mountain to replenish the water source.
Suddenly missing four water hoses, the pressure to fight the fire at the scene suddenly increased.
The fire tornado that had been constantly decreasing stopped, and there were signs that it would climb again.
The firefighters could only grit their teeth and walk forward a few meters, getting as close to the fire as possible, so that the efficiency of fighting the fire would be higher, and the danger would also rise linearly.
Fortunately, the first batch of people quickly replenished the water source and returned to the scene to join the fire fighting, while the second batch immediately went to the foot of the mountain to load water.
Just like this, after rotating for several batches, the fire tornado gradually dropped from the original 200-plus meters high to 100... 50....
Until around four o'clock in the afternoon, the fire tornado before them only had a few meters of flames left, looking like a fire snake about to die.
Everyone was excited!
Success was right before their eyes.
A dozen water hoses aimed at the flames and rushed up. In just about ten seconds, only a mess was left at the scene, with thick smoke rising everywhere.
As for the fire tornado, it had long since disappeared.
Of course, the happiest was the scenic area supervisor.
He originally thought that this whole piece of shrubbery would suffer, but the result was much better than he expected.
This fire not only didn't cause too much loss, but it destroyed the nearby abandoned factory beyond recognition, which can be said to have saved a lot of effort directly.
Compared to the entire shrubbery, the destroyed trees were just a drop in the bucket.
After the flames were extinguished, the firefighters checked the situation on the spot to ensure that it would not rekindle, and the police also removed the cordon.
Fang Yang rushed in at the first moment.
He wanted to see if his excavator could still be used.
Although the fire tornado didn't pass directly by the excavator just now, at such a close distance, it was hard to guarantee that it would be okay.
The supervisor and the cameraman also followed.
Seeing Fang Yang coming, the firefighters not only didn't stop him but also greeted him with a smile: "Fang Yang, ever since you came to Xihai City, our fire brigade hasn't had a good night's sleep for a single day!"
Fang Yang smiled awkwardly: "You are all heroes, I give you a thumbs up!"
Receiving such praise, all the firefighters couldn't help but laugh.
Immediately after, Fang Yang climbed into the cab and operated it for a while, finding that the excavator could still be used, and he also felt relieved.
And the supervisor walked toward the deep pit before, wanting to see what happened to the sulfuric acid.
