In the peak of July, the sun hung high like a blazing fireball, roasting the earth. The temperature in the city soared close to 40°C.GrpqPutYXPOtuspNZlrODgWrNqbSIA

Inside a small canteen, the air conditioning was abundant. The tightly closed doors and windows shielded everyone from the oppressive heat. Several simple dining tables displayed a uniform set of six dishes and one soup, generously portioned with plenty of meat. Yet, most of the food remained untouched because everyone’s eyes were glued to the TV screen showing the European Championship qualifiers.aZWGsMIvzuuURuTqJNwzagBlWnWUPX

Suddenly, the shrill sound of an alarm blared, long and persistent, piercing through every corner of the three-story building.loQElkuhGHNTsaSfnyURjnxtTxkPaW

The sound of chopsticks being dropped echoed through the room, and everyone stood up in unison, rushing out the door and down the stairs quickly but in an orderly fashion.RemqWKdnfyehlSKHmHfOnCuuAMIBwc

A tall man in the lead shouted, “Whoever’s last, turn off the AC!”FTBTNWksGMpQmSlNuFZVmkWiEngdlp

Ren Yi ignored the exclamation, his long legs moving rapidly as he bolted downstairs in seconds. The others followed closely, reaching the garage, swiftly donning their firefighting gear—clearly well-trained.POdSXFdwFCHslkWpgKkwDPjgQOLBAB

The on-duty communicator ran up to Ren Yi. “Captain Ren, there’s a fire in a private room at the café on the fifth floor of Changxing Mall. The alert has been sent to your phone.”mNfuFLeTQGlokoeEQADfvEsViCYCuG

vDMpDVZcRRsMKLC

“Got it, let’s send out the first three trucks.”qAePWjasLCQjXFBWjZSnyibHRCLaDr

CFlIYuLmJjPWSBR

The garage had no air conditioning, and as soon as the doors opened, a wave of heat rushed in. The flame-resistant, insulated gear they wore might as well have been a built-in sauna, and they started sweating instantly.oWvKfNVbxFCKkzItugcxpkwPfWNTGT

uMJRkdzgXatLLbS

Everyone climbed into the trucks. Ren Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “Gao Ge, call the person who reported the fire, get more details.”FsjuoNMGMLEmWNohYXMrGLlUjKKMQE

“Yes, sir.”hdMqDdaSlYWDtMcrTDAVVjIBBmDntz

Ren Yi pressed the intercom. “Command, request assistance from Changxing Road Police Station for traffic control. The area around Changxing Mall has heavy traffic, and I’m concerned that onlookers might block the roads.”koIZCgxPHKTxktTlrcUhbPIzdnlbTM

pUaOzcSOUYmmSPi

Gao Ge hung up the phone and reported, “Captain, the café has a mezzanine floor with an internal staircase connecting the fourth and fifth floors. There’s no exit on the fifth floor. The fire started in a private room on the fifth floor. The flames haven’t spread widely yet, but the fire is near the staircase, making evacuation from the fifth floor impossible.”WGCtJNKmtomwWCvbGhxHvIPYwnvuZS

Sun Dingyi chuckled and pulled out his phone. “Seriously, look, my girlfriend took a bunch of pictures.”dJYedMKkUmXbtkVvPsALNlfMBexPEe

Ren Yi flipped through the photos, frowning. “Tatami floors? That’s a huge fire load.”TaIGYZDCJdvqsmqWjHYzpsoIauQPQE

POGtXCgBmZphySy

“Yeah, it’s a trendy, viral café lately. These sections here are made for girls to take photos. Some backdrops, but they’re not really private rooms. The dividers are just wood panels on dragon bone frames, not even proper walls.”LftksdYRgtrEiGHULUTzPwKJNvuXgN

nrsUEmcUPXsuxzA

“You sure?” Ren Yi zoomed in on the photos. The images were full of fabric furniture, curtains, carpets, and other combustibles, along with bright lighting setups that likely drew a lot of power. However, the wall material couldn’t be determined from the photos.lBqNcwGoHZSfLEbFLoPbPwVjCAUqua

“Positive. I knocked on them.”JJnRDshjBOyFJueMofFSYJMEBiYAQT

“With such a high fire load, the flames are bound to spread fast.” Ren Yi pressed the intercom again. “Truck 4 and Combat Team 3, stand by.”DtDkifLTqVgplfpHrpTQsnvEAyaLYW

Changxing Mall wasn’t far away. In fact, within the 12 square kilometers of their district, nowhere was far. But due to Beijing’s traffic, it still took thirteen minutes for the fire trucks to arrive.PkLnFqbuSDECWOCBdOGANrPJpFQUSE

XsXFaCkUfeiJpOz

As soon as the truck stopped, Ren Yi jumped out and looked up at the mall’s fifth floor. Grey smoke was pouring out of the windows, but they were bottom-opening windows, so no one could escape through them. Several hands were desperately waving out the windows.mhpoKAbtDrNHnFVSnhLfcTJxdRtMeb

The police had arrived before them and were already controlling traffic. As Ren Yi predicted, vehicles and pedestrians were all trying to stop and watch.FdncIjkIOLHWsdbQzKyaLhuhXpGoKO

The mall manager, drenched in sweat, ran up to Ren Yi with a panicked expression. “Firefighter, there are at least twenty people on the fifth floor.”kxxTwXYxnRyhvzvhhKPCMlfxirNtge

gHBpguawLVUpZGr

Ren Yi remained calm. “Team 2, raise the ladder, bring tools to break the windows and get people out. Deploy a hose for cover. Team 1, deploy two hoses and follow me inside.” He motioned to the manager, “Lead the way.”eOaDeZFyhImRsewoopNuRCztHshLCu

“Yes, over here.”LGYviSxlqigvLCZUzwtDcaAehivqpF

The manager led them to an elevator that had already been prepared, and they quickly reached the fourth floor.yeBPlrIcSAAxNANMizTaKwyQcQzmvn

The entire mall had been evacuated, and smoke was spreading through the café, though no visible flames yet.sKfHOmxIBcGVNwuQjCGOzLeshDobmw

Gao Ge and two firefighters hooked up to the mall’s fire hydrant.sTqondAyAMUGYpBUhAUJVVTvWlURWZ

They entered the café, where the upper part of the steel spiral staircase was already glowing red from the heat. The sound of cries for help echoed from the fifth floor above.nDXKNrtVrmfriKdBWUAPIjErSahVNL

Ren Yi commanded, “You two, use the hoses to cool the stairs and cover us as we go up.”OvZtryRmHDyDRWqNiNjUoSxPyqVuDO

Sun Dingyi shot him a glare. “We have to get the people out first. If we spray water now, we’ll end up steaming them alive.”RybLHDPFcLvDHRWQvTYsOHICDHFzIn

Ren Yi put on his mask. “Let’s go!” With that, he charged up first, followed closely by the rest of the team.NUciRITVBJsNadswIvLxXWOGyWCMMb

Under the cover of the water spray, they ascended the stairs. The stairs creaked ominously underfoot, threatening to give way, and the intense heat radiated toward them.xfeXLSuHiIDTGhiHxhKzYTSWQqHfZf

No matter how many times a firefighter enters a burning building or how advanced their heat-resistant gear is, the scorching temperatures—often hundreds or even thousands of degrees—are always painful and terrifying to endure.RTTQEOjwswSxHkiTBTyQUqetWbodDk

tZhMXkqnKZmCsVy

Ren Yi felt his skin prickling like it was being stabbed by needles. Heat waves wrapped around him from all directions, his skin burning, and sweat pouring from his body.cnDckQFmtCFOLMchxJwcIdlmvKouNJ

MEWPySKELMrmdNe

The fifth floor was filled with thick smoke, and half of the café was already engulfed in flames. As he had suspected, there were too many flammable materials in the place, and the fire was spreading rapidly.rJXlBGYsAnzmKNFFVrLBEGTUKOjJHr

ZKUPeBdeXKJmMQK

“Is anyone there? Anyone?!” Ren Yi shouted. “If you find people, try to get them out through the ladder!”BObZBgVfxHqJriKotSTqVEvygWeJFM

CBdKtwDEKxCzTRJ

Ren Yi turned on the thermal imaging camera and scanned the area for trapped individuals. Soon, the screen displayed a person. He rushed over and found a man collapsed on the floor, with mild burns on his body and unconscious from smoke inhalation.eZSuBkUzpwRPqJOLpDrPWgwOJwmZeW

sjKeQAUKdLZCtjS

The man was tall and sturdy, and Ren Yi’s gear alone weighed more than 40 pounds. Straining, he dragged the man by his armpits toward the window. Halfway there, Sun Dingyi returned to help lift the man, and they carried him to the window. Other firefighters were also finding incapacitated people in the smoke.DOnQgrQCnzfzRAVoSwNMumuYeGyUSY

EfjfBULvlSoBcrM

The second unit had already broken the window open, and the platform was crowded with rescued people. Ren Yi handed the man over to the second unit. “No more room here. Take them down first.”VuNjiTGrfAKreNRDWpVLjCVtsAbWcz

jMZatFbUubzNnZK

“Captain Ren, with the window open, the fire is spreading faster. I’m afraid if we come up again, we won’t make it in time. You’d better take the stairs.”wuWUagILKvOBDsTuZeAnKlWWlMTecd

Ren Yi turned back and retraced his steps. He and his team groped their way through the smoke and flames, eventually reaching the last private room, where they found three more injured, unconscious people.KoXAJbAADnYSmooRQkRFOJETBqtxbN

TqeZGeMoNvzHLgx

Gao Ge, Sun Dingyi, and the others hoisted the injured and ran toward the window. Ren Yi quickly searched the rooms again. The smoke was thick, and visibility was low. The thermal camera could make mistakes, especially when people were covered or hidden.rHrauBZLiGUqKtekNdMADiHOraGZgq

rhgiEjiKIADUEGa

Just as Ren Yi was about to retreat, he suddenly heard a faint moan behind him. In the intense blaze, the sound was barely audible, but Ren Yi caught it.cSItuzqfzPkqQtnbVxZknXvjDWZJKN

XaCgaBhutpVOHIi

He rushed back and found a person trapped under a collapsed wooden panel!NLXRzfMCqpGfizRFEFdaEeochiQSVl

lKJJGHdADyxfham

Ren Yi used his shoulder to push the panel aside and pulled the person out. It was a young girl, barely in her teens. Miraculously, she had not been burned. Though disheveled, her delicate features were still discernible.LDdcYRQZeKKZLMeLCPREZxTsQXDFQH

RNaJDDjeECbfijT

The girl weakly opened her eyes halfway and looked at Ren Yi with exhaustion.NQGEOoTQDQpNbHeqjzRoxoBSWtcMLb

RCMoLEeWXDIOrTp

Ren Yi knew she was on the verge of suffocation. He took off his mask and placed it over her face, speaking in a steady voice, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll get you out of here.”IAdfVEVLgVsAkmutFGWPQsTzEPcTFO

oAdIPiDxqFyBkNw

After she took a few breaths, Ren Yi put the mask back on himself and lifted her slender body, carrying her out of the room.YcznGgGXoCBWCAmhzMgOODYJJFnzVD

In just two minutes, the fire had already reached the windows.CcGbtAixOcQiNLRGjcDoTQuBMhMqgT

Fire behaves like a parched desert craving water, like a wild beast thirsting for blood—it craves oxygen. When a fire burns in an enclosed space, as soon as an opening is made, it rushes toward the oxygen source with a frenzy. Now, the fire had spread along the tatami mats, completely blocking the path to the window. Everywhere Ren Yi looked, flames raged.uJVqpsUkFAviUHqoazIyBrbvANoegA

jWzWQzCRtmDVbXh

He turned back and saw that although the water hose was still cooling the staircase, it was near the fire’s origin, and the flames there were still intense. Taking a deep breath, he pressed the intercom. “Gao Ge, are you all out?”bPFInHVxSLqXfeKzzhpzdgIDvfvZIk

The two firefighters with hoses moved up the stairs, using the water to suppress the flames as Ren Yi prepared to evacuate via the staircase.HjpWICtyUSfEythfPnhCoNyhqRXoOL

Suddenly, the steel staircase let out a sharp, screeching sound. One of the firefighters yelled, “Captain Ren, the stairs are giving out! Looks like they’re going to collapse!”waGffmvKoOFYVzkUXcvdxJSosqALIo

“Get down, now!”DrvjHDDkpQAGPteAGJmJtjITnEHlGv

No sooner had Ren Yi spoken than the steel frame of the staircase crashed down right in front of him, smashing into the floor with a heavy thud. The entire floor beneath trembled violently.DuAkUsLrQkfBvunMVhyZSnOkfGadrk

“Stand by for support below.” Ren Yi quickly unfastened the rope from his gear and tied one end to an untouched section of the staircase railing that hadn’t been burned. He swiftly made a figure-eight knot, then cradled the girl in his arms and began to lower them down the rope.wCcKdOAmVMGGXYYTeyrvimoWCRngbU

wSaOIUgpjZCBcma

Because it was only one story high, and the girl was light, he felt confident taking this route.suqzVMseqnmtTcgGiBrZtMhwkahOQI

The firefighters below caught his feet first, and together they carefully brought him and the girl down to safety.DoPDvAdoeFuAeLvvjFyrZUkIIpQynr

Once on the ground, Ren Yi carried the girl over to the waiting paramedics. “Reduce one hose downstairs. Don’t add any more weight to the floor. Put out the fire as quickly as possible.”HfWQKmUnVABHdwGXTvNaNVFfnjJPOk

After placing the girl on a stretcher, Ren Yi finally took off his mask and drew a deep breath.dXggmyrKKktnVTGhXdPJfbJnZpQyGO

Suddenly, he felt a tug on his sleeve. Looking down, he saw the girl gripping his sleeve tightly.pNzcAnTgodBkyDgKwiKPFzhZmGCqOB

Ren Yi looked into her bloodshot eyes, gently patted her head, and reassured her in a soft voice, “Don’t worry, you’re safe now.”kmcyNJeFJUVtbWMQkHDpYzTkpkxtyY

The girl, her mouth covered by an oxygen mask, couldn’t speak. She blinked a few times and slowly released his sleeve.rALfCzcXcGjPntvrAeddOcrppgkhzT

Ren Yi left the second unit behind to handle cleanup and inspection for any remaining fire hazards, while he led the rest of his team back to the station.jufYNvbHThCtyehwYATDlkyfgEkugX

On the way, Ren Yi called the hospital to check on the condition of the injured, especially the young girl he had rescued last. The report was that a few people had moderate burns, but none of the injuries were too severe. Most had minor injuries, and those suffering from smoke inhalation were still under observation but weren’t in life-threatening condition.MUNDRLXyamuyXJNKPftYgAOKDKQgxr
