Chapter 324 It's so amazing, we saved the dog and the flag
The strong wind blew, and the stars and stripes were rushing on the not-so-high flagpole.
The fire burned down below and the flag would be burned at any time.
A little border herder ran out from somewhere and barked at the place where the fire started.
From last night to now, Director Karen Crowley has realized the reality. Most of the female firefighters recruited are useless. It is difficult for such a violent fire scene to play a role.
But as a female social activist, she will not give up easily, nor will she give up the banner of feminism.
Karen called the most reliable team among all the female firefighters, pointed to the Stars and Stripes, and said to the captain Leia: "Take your people over and save the Stars and Stripes, and that little border herder, go!"
Leia nodded, called the team members, put on a gas mask, lifted the fire extinguisher, and rushed towards the flagpole.
Six people cooperated with each other, and four of them opened the way in front, used fire extinguishers to eliminate sporadic sparks, covered Leia rushing to the flagpole, and untied the star-stripe flag that was burned through more than a dozen holes by flying Mars.
The other man picked up the little border herder and kept comforting the dog.
The team rushed out of the fire and came back.
Other female firefighters gathered on both sides of the road, and clapped as they watched the rescued female heroes.
In front of the cameras of the Los Angeles Times and NBC reporters, Director Karen Crowley personally came forward to greet Leia. While hugging Leia, he ordered: "Everyone takes off the gas mask and turn his head to the left."
The six-person team led by Leia took off the gas masks one after another, looked at the media camera, calmly.
Kelly guided the squad to the female fire truck and pulled open the damaged star-stripe banner with Leia, showing the greatness of female firefighters.
The female firefighter holding the little border herder came over and squatted in front of the Stars and Stripes.
The flash lights light up and the reporters took photos one after another.
These blue-oriented media reporters applauded them one by one, as if this group of people had done something very amazing.
Reporters from Fox TV, as well as a few people including Garcia, were silently recording all this with cameras and cameras. "Good job!" The members of the feminist organization who were ready next to him rushed up to praise: "You are the best, you are heroes, you are veritable saviors!"'
More than one place in Los Angeles caught fire. Director Karen got in the car and left, and handed it over to Leia and others.
For a moment, the atmosphere was warm, and even those Hollywood stars who were good at acting were embarrassed to stumble on the ground.
At this moment, a Cherokee rushed out of the area where the flames were ignited.
After the sound of emergency brakes, the car stopped near the fire truck.
A 16-year-old blonde girl jumped out of the co-pilot, but Ashley, the boss of the Olsen sisters.
She was extremely panicked and rushed to the media camera, rushed to Captain Leia, and said, "My sister, my sister Elizabeth is trapped in the house by fire. Please go and save people quickly, hurry up!"
Mary, who came out of the driving seat, was bursting with eyes: "Save people, save people quickly!"
Leia and the other female team members looked at each other, and looked at the burning house in the distance. No one answered and remained silent.
Ashley was so anxious that she burst into tears, but the girl was knowledgeable and calm in the face of danger at the critical moment. She shouted, "Who will help us save people? I will give you $200,000."
The women still didn't move. They wanted to make the money, but what could they do if they rushed in and found someone? Let them carry someone out? What a joke under such harsh conditions?
But the three male firefighters stood up and rushed into the fire after simple preparation.
In another fire scene, facing the fierce fire and strong convective wind, the fire department could only retreat regardless of men and women.
Halley Wayne, a female reporter from Fox TV, sneaked up with Karen, the fire chief who had just arrived, and asked loudly: "Don't the fire department have firefighting planes and firefighting helicopters?"
Karen turned his head and stared at the woman with blonde hair and gray face, her eyes were cold.
……………
The fire triggered changes in airflow and winds in northern Los Angeles continued to increase.
All the tops of the Hollywood Mountains were emitting flames. The fire burned across the tops of Mount Li and rushed down. The huge "Hollywood" sign was burned black by the fireworks. In the continuous burning, some letters collapsed with a bang.
State Fire Department, on the helicopter apron behind the office building.
Susan carried a briefcase and followed Deputy Director Michel out of the office building.
The two of them entered the hangar and met Alves, the captain of the helicopter firefighting team.
Michel asked, "When will the plane be repaired?"
Alves did not have a good face for these women who robbed maintenance funds and some welfare benefits, but the situation is critical now. He did not get entangled in this regard. He pointed to the two helicopters and said, "The engines of aircraft 1 and 2 and the transmission shafts of the spiral machine are problematic. At the end of last year, I applied for funds, but was suppressed by the city hall, which caused the plane to not be repaired and maintained."
Michel's face was also ugly, thinking that the other party's words were targeting them.
Alves told the truth: "Let these two aircraft be dispatched is irresponsible for the lives and safety of the pilots and supporting personnel. Once a crash occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable."
He pointed to the third aircraft and said, "This aircraft was originally a small problem, but the maintenance fund was not in place for a long time, and it became a big problem. The corresponding screw accessories..." Michelle said: "I will approve a special fee."
Alves said: "It will take at least one week from ordering to repairing."
Michel had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.
Susan continues to film everything that happened while acting as an opponent.
Compared with the fire department when I first joined the company, there is only a mess of chaos nowadays.
Compared to the director who ran to the front line to play various feminist and media shows, Michelle, the deputy director, did his best to perform his duties, and she contacted the Fire Department's only fixed-wing firefighting aircraft.
In an airport in the suburbs of Los Angeles, two fixed-wing aircraft parked here belonging to the Fire Department, one is under maintenance for years, and the other can perform tasks.
Pilots and pilots tested the aircraft, and ground crews loaded flame retardant purchased from India into the belly.
Before darkness, the plane took off successfully and followed Michelle's command to the nearest Hollywood Mountain Fire.
The pilot worked in the fire department for more than 15 years and had rich experience. Although he did not dare to get too close to the fire due to strong winds and smoke, he soon found a combination of wildfires and residential areas.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Confirm that the crowd on the ground has been evacuated, the pilot flew the plane over the air and opened the delivery port.
The red flame retardant fell down, and along the path of the plane passing, it seemed like a red rainstorm.
The flame retardant fell on the ground, which did slightly block the fire at the beginning, but the next moment the flames flew into the air and the fire burned more vigorously than before.
The plane flew back from the mountain, and flame retardant fell from the mountain to the residential community.
The fire burned along the line where the flame retardant fell and towards the community house. The wooden house was ignited by a large area and the fire quickly lost control. "God, what did I do?" The pilot was stunned.
But he quickly reacted and immediately shouted to the radio: "There is a problem with the flame retardant purchased from India, and the flame retardant purchased from India, don't use it again!"
This is not a flame retardant, it is clearly a combustion aid!
The news reached the fire department, and Michelle called to question the Indian company.
The Indian company conducted an internal investigation and concluded that when shipped, workers might load the fuel aid as a flame retardant.
Of course, such things cannot be publicized to the outside world, and Indians will not admit them even if they beat them to death.
When it was dark, the wind became stronger and the fire was truly out of control. More than a dozen communities located in the north of Santa Monica Mountain, on the east and west sides of Malibu Mountain and around the Hollywood Mountain were all facing the direct threat of fire.
Because the three female senior executives of the Fire Department were confident and lacked professional responses at the beginning, Antonio, who was far away in Asia, always believed that the fire was completely controllable.
After all, wildfires are too common for Los Angeles.
The flames burned into multiple communities and more than 2,000 people were evacuated urgently.
The editorial department of the Twitter building worked overtime tonight, and news about the Los Angeles forest fire continued to be released.
On the platform at the highest point of the roof, Hawke and Edward raised their telescopes to observe the situation on Santa Monica to the south.
The night sky in the north has completely turned red.
Hawke put down his telescope and asked, "What's the reaction from Compton?"
Edward contacted Michael more than ten minutes ago: "Many people heard that some communities are evacuating and have been dispatched overnight. This is the best time to purchase goods for free!"
He laughed and said, "The big cuckold just called, and many homeless people in the Hollywood area have gone to the vicinity of Hollywood Hills."
Hawke exclaimed, "The business is so skillful."
Edward thought for a while, and said, "In this case, there are many people dispatched every time, but there are few channels for purchase."
Hawke said, "I believe their talents. They have no channels for purchases, and they will create their own channels."
Edward nodded: "Please trust my fellow blacks in this regard, they have outstanding talents and amazing creativity."
Hawke returned to his office and spoke to Campos to learn more about the current situation.
The fire department fired a large number of male season firefighters and recruited female firefighters who accounted for 35%. The three most important leaders replaced them with women, and reduced the welfare benefits of male firefighters. Coupled with the negative impact of the 911 firefighter incident and the critical water shortage, the fire is out of control.
Before Hawke's phone call was finished, Brian rushed over.
He entered the office, waited for Hawke to hang up the phone, and said, "Are you going to move forward with the second step now?"
Hawke said, "The fire scene is not large enough, at least it has to wait for the overburning area to exceed 150 square kilometers."
Bryan calculated and said, "This is not easy."
Hawke's goal is to burn at least 300 square kilometers.
