On July 5, one person in a concrete factory in Mengzi, Honghe, was buried by concrete gravel. After receiving the alarm, fire rescue workers immediately went to rescue. It is understood that the trapped person was an adult male. When the fire rescue workers arrived at the scene, the man's vital signs were stable and conscious. He was trapped in the concrete sand and gravel. Below his location was the sand and gravel feed inlet. The sand and gravel were buried in the chest of the trapped person, and a large amount of concrete sand and gravel was piled up around him.
The whole scene of the accident was like a giant hourglass, and the sand and gravel piled up around it kept sliding down. If there was a slight movement, the sand and gravel under the trapped people would fall.
According to the situation on the spot, the commander quickly formulated a rescue plan, first established a warning area, evacuated most of the workers to the outside of the plant, and used wooden boards and steel bars to build a platform to fix the sand and gravel around the trapped people, so as to avoid secondary injury caused by the collapse again.
Subsequently, a group of people were close to the position of the trapped people, using shovels and bare hands to clean up the sand and gravel trapped by the workers, while another group of people were on the periphery, cooperating with several workers to carry out the sand and gravel.
With the rescue action, the surrounding mountains of sand and gravel kept rolling down, fire rescue workers just buried the trapped personnel to clean up a little sand and gravel, the bottom of the new sand and gravel, resulting in slow progress in rescue, and the trapped personnel due to the buried pressure time is too long, blood circulation is affected, slowly appear expiratory dyspnoea, blurred consciousness. After more than hour of
rescue, fire rescue workers dug out the upper body of the trapped people. After communicating with the trapped people, they confirmed that only one leg was buried. With the joint efforts of several fire rescue workers, the trapped people were finally slowly lifted out and handed over to 120 hospitals for treatment.
