This incident was caused by the loss of a fisherman in Zhanghe waters. After receiving help, Hebei Handan Blue Sky Rescue Team launched a voluntary public welfare rescue operation. During the rescue operation in Zhanghe waters of Wei County, Handan, the lifeboat capsized many times, causing rescuers to fall into the water many times. Finally, three rescuers were killed and drowned.
First, what is this?
It is understood that at 5438+0 1 in mid-June, a villager in Weixian County, Handan City accidentally fell into the water in the waters of Zhanghe River, and there was no trace for many days. Suspected that the body was washed to the Daming River downstream, the families of the drowning people called the rescue team for help and asked the team members to help salvage. 1October 23 165438, when the rescue team was salvaging, due to the rapid current. A rescuer drowned. Because the villagers have not been in the water for a long time, their families hope that volunteers can continue to help search and rescue. On 12 and 1 day, the rescue team dispatched eight rescuers to salvage voluntarily again, but during the search, the lifeboat unfortunately turned over again, causing all eight rescuers to fall into the water, and finally two rescuers drowned.
Second, this incident is related to rescuers' unfamiliarity with the waters.
It is understood that there are more than a dozen water rescue volunteers in Handan, but not many are really professional and familiar with water rescue. And what are the waters where rescuers were killed? Rolling dam? This is a simple weir on the river with a low height. It can't stop all the rivers, but in actual rescue, the probability of escape after entering the rolling dam is very small. Because of the gap, the rolling dam will produce huge vortex suction, and people will easily lose their self-control ability in it. The best escape time is usually only 3 seconds, so the dam rolling is also called? Death dam? I think it has something to do with the danger that the aid team is unfamiliar with the waters and its own water quality is not enough.
What do I think about this matter?
I think as a rescue team, we must improve our understanding of various waters and familiarity with water, and at the same time, we must equip ourselves with sufficient self-rescue equipment. While doing good deeds, we must first ensure our own safety and avoid unnecessary casualties.
