Chemistry

PM 10: 07 - Rescue from heaven

Professor Son Dong-joo, a forestry resource researcher and ecologist, visited the Natural Monument Sanctuary on a weekend and faced a thunderstorm.

The shelter's wired lines are down, cell phones are down. That's why I was going down to the location where I could report with the fire extinguisher.

“Cough.”

The professor looks up at the hillside that he just rolled around with a handkerchief. I almost had a big accident.

“Professor!"

Jeon Yun-seok's disciple hurriedly ran and lifted the fire extinguisher toward the surrounding fire.

Chewie.

The white liquid was sprayed. Then I heard the sound of the wind, and the spraying stopped.

“Oh, I'm done with this. Are you okay?"

“It's just a scratch. ”

The professor nodded and stood up.

“What do we do now? You can't move a foot without a fire extinguisher. ”

This question made Professor Hand unable to answer. Now I see no way but to sit here and wait for that flame to pass.

“Is the phone still ringing? ”

Jeon Yoon-seok lifted his cell phone and waved it toward the sky.

“Not at all. Looks like the local base station burned down. I thought I heard a helicopter flying by. ”

Even so, you wouldn't have seen a place full of smoke like this. The professor of the hand looked up at the sky with a desperate face.

It was a clear day, but it was full of fire instead of stars.

“Let's move a little further. We're the only ones left in the shelter. When a wildfire hits it. ”

It was horrible just thinking about it.

“I don't know where I'm going anymore. ”

“Down the ramp. I can't answer that. ”

We can even walk in a direction that is predicted to have roads. Suddenly, Yoon Seok, who was surprised by the spark, fell down to the side.

“Yoon-suk!”

“Ugh.”

Jeon Yoon-seok made a face. The wrist on the ground is sore, and the palm of the hand is covered in blood.

Surrounded by heat, the two escaped to the side of the rock. I had no choice but to look down at the burning forest in the panic room.

Amphibious Herbs.

There was fire everywhere, and there was no road.

“Professor.”

Yoon-suk, who was sitting dazed, opened his mouth.

“The refugees are over, right? ”

“Don't say that. ”

“They're all good people, and they like animals. Her sister is a veterinarian, especially. ”

Please avoid this cowardice even if it's there. The professor of the hand prayed to heaven.

“If I'd known this, I would have put the phone in this morning. I'm sorry, Mom. ”

The professor patted his snickering disciple on the back with a bitter face.

- Hey, you two! Can you hear me?

At that time, the strange sound sounded like a mountain, and the head of the grandson and Yoon-seok turned at the same time.

- Rescue is approaching the direction you're looking at. Don't move. Fire everywhere.

Two people who never thought anyone would show up on this mountain turned their heads toward the fog of the semi-penis.

Oops!

However, I realized that this was not a dream in the appearance of the rescuers who appeared one by one as the fire split apart.

“Oh, my God. ”

The professor of the hand felt relieved and relieved.

Eight rescue personnel approaching in formation. One of them stepped forward.

“This is Rescue Team Leader Kim Jae-ho. Is anyone uncomfortable with your behavior? ”

Jeon Yoon-seok jumped up and raised the professor's hand.

“We're fine. So, how did you get here? Did they report it at the shelter? ”

“Shelter?”

The Rescue Team Leader looked at Yeon-seok from the face of not knowing English. Professor Hand quickly regained his senses and said.

“Firefighter, there are still five left in the Scented Wand Refuge. We were forced to come down and report the call because the phone was dead. ”

In explaining his situation, the Rescue Team Leader immediately held the radio in his hand.

“Situation room. Situation room. Rescue Team 1.”

Cheers.

- Did you get the rescue?

“We're clear. By the way, on the side of the incense wand, there are more isolated people. Please confirm the shelter location and assist. ”

That peak is a burning hazard all around. The helicopter hasn't reached a low altitude in the heart of the wildfire.

There was a serious conversation about rescue.

- What did Jungwoo say?

“Hold on. I'll put you on. ”

While the Rescue Team Leader approached the crew wearing a 'Wildfire Watch Out’ helmet on his own, the other team held out a portable heat shield mask to the professor's hands and Yoon-seok Jeon.

“Jungwoo. This is Captain Ma.”

Jungwoo held onto Kim Jae-ho's radio.

Cheers.

- Jungwoo, what do you think? Remember the location of the incense wand on the terrain map?

“I remember. ”

Jungwoo turned his eyes to the peak above.

“We're the only ones who can get there now, right? ”

- We're still in the defensive planning phase. East Division Support Team 1 just passed the colonel.

“What if · · · · · · · · · ·. when we climb up the incense rod to avoid the flames and break through the thinnest point of combustion. Can we get out of here in time? ”

We could use an evolution group in that area. Forest Service personnel are standing by at the nearby blockade.

The number of miles with Jungwoo, who had been talking about the same terrain for a long time, was enough to misunderstand.

- The question is whether you can make it through the ravine safely.

“Yes, you can. I'm used to avoiding fire. ”

- I can push, if you're sure. All right, put Jae-ho on.

Jungwoo returned the radio to Jaeho Kim again.

“Yes, commander. ”

- What's your verdict at the scene? Are you sure you can get in?

Kim Jae-ho looked at Jungwoo and replied as if there was nothing to think about.

“If you're talking about Lim Wu, I'd like to recruit him as a member of our rescue team. I feel like I'm one already."

- This is crazy. They're trying to take the commander to the rescue team. From now on, I call you Deputy Commander Lim Wu.

“Who? You mean our Assistant Director of Rescue? ”

- Come on?

Jungwoo kicked his tongue into the conversation of two people.

“Hey, I'm just chemical-related · ·"

- I'm not giving you any rain!

At the shout of the radio, Jung, who saw the trembling friendship, smiled.

After a while.

The crew was reorganized as instructed in the Situation Room.

On the way back, two rescue teams headed south to the first line of defense and two rescued started the descent first.

And a six-man rescue team to evacuate the shelter left for the ridge.

Inside the parking lot is a row of fire trucks from the Seoul City Disaster Center.

The ‘Wildfire Site Command Center’, made up of tents, was busy preparing for the first round of meetings that would take place shortly.

Cheers.

- Two aides, now arriving at the defensive line.

“Okay, is there an ambulance? Send them in. You come to headquarters. ”

Among government officials busy installing monitors and communications equipment, miles lowered their radio and turned their heads to the terrain on the table.

“Oh, chief. The Forest Service evolution group is waiting here in the northeast. Please place it forward until this time. ”

“Did you really put a paramedic in the middle of hell? ”

When Milsoo asked if the fire prevention and the chief's misuse were insane, he gravely replied.

“They've already received a radio call to the safe zone. ”

“That's lucky. At this rate of anger, it's suicide to crawl inside the evolutionary line. Surely there was no other way? ”

“Luck?”

The jaw muscles of the mile that cracked the molar twitched.

“Then I would have sent you, you son of a bitch, to kill yourself! Get me a move on, now! ”

When the prowling muscle man became furious, the chief flinched. I noticed and put the Forest Service radio on my mouth.

“Captain Ma. It's Doctor Dozi!”

Miles on the comms operator's shout points to a landline phone on the table.

“Uh, connect me. ”

As you pick up the phone, you hear the voice of the Dozi.

- You said the meeting was about to start.

“Yes, as soon as the military liaison and the press liaison arrive, the institutional communication channel configuration is over. Video call's ready. ”

The city cooperation system will be completed shortly. And I just heard, you're looking for Grandson Ju from Ma's team who was trapped in the forest fire?

“Two rescuers arrived at the defensive line two minutes ago and are being transported to an ambulance. ”

- Phew, rescued.

The librarian beyond the phone sighed for relief.

- I was wondering if you were a frequent mountain traveler. It's a big disaster, but I'm still relieved of Captain's quick response.

Miles scratches his chin hearing that one of the rescuers is an acquaintance of the librarian. From discoveries to rescues. It would have been impossible had it not been for Limited Woo.

- Professor Hand has been studying animals on the East Coast for the last 10 years. You'll know more about the nearby forest resources than anyone else, so ask if you have any questions.

“For your information.”

- I heard there's people at the shelter.

“I put a rescue team in there, too. ”

Miles glanced at the chief and said,

“Don't worry, we're working very closely with other organisation chiefs. ”

Miles' gaze stayed on either side of the tent.

[Status of casualties at the fire site]

[Death: 0 Injured: 0]

Miles hoped that nothing would rise until the evolution was complete. However, because he had experienced many disasters, he knew that these winds were close to a miracle.

The smoke column soared so high that the number of miles that shifted their gaze over the mountain ridge that sometimes heard a noise muttered.

“Don't hurt either of you. Please."

“Ugh, I'm gonna die. ”

Almost 30 minutes after climbing up the mountain trail in a place full of fire, smoke, wood and ash, the arms and legs of the climber were twisted.

[Scented wand shelter 100 meters away]

Jung, who looked at the half-burnt horse, turned his head to the road that passed by.

Every time the wildfire grew rapidly, the energy emitted was blowing the dung hundreds of meters away and thousands of meters away.

The scent of flames flying around like missiles in the wind at 10 meters per second produced new combustion points that had not been seen before an hour ago.

This is serious, right? ’

The phenomenon that was not detected when observed above. In this state, the map of the number of combustion points should be much wider.

“I see it!”

Jungwoo's gaze returned to the peak of the peak, as the leader shouted.

A shabby shelter has entered the Rescue Team's view. The rescue team rushed as it was already halfway up.

“No one. ”

You scout the perimeter with your eyes peering at the heat that picks up the inside of the scout's report.

“Where are you · · · · · · · · ·. ”

A hill on the other side of the shelter, slightly sloped. The shape was different where there was relatively little aggression of flames.

“Looks like they're on the other side. ”

Kim Jae-ho flashed a flash light as Jungwoo pointed.

“Hey! Rescue! ”

A figure confirms the arrival of the Rescue Party and walks out one by one from the cracks of the rock.

“Firefighter? Really? ”

“Are you here to rescue us? ”

“We're alive. ”

Jungwoo looked around for the only one left, because there were only four people there, and he saw a sudden rush of heat.

“Something big's coming! ”

Rescuers familiar with this warning immediately stopped and lowered their posture, but they didn't stop looking at the people on the other side who wanted to meet them as soon as possible.

Kim Jae-ho cried out to the crew when he was in danger of someone getting caught in the fire.

“Protect each and every one of you! ”

Jung Pil also blocked Jungwoo's back with this sound.

The massive flame beneath the mountain draws oxygen, causing hurricane-like winds to surge up the branches and fireballs.

Kuwoo!

The fire-bearing branches fall like rain.

Meanwhile, Jung found the fifth person stumbling across the slope.

Why are you out there alone? It's dangerous. ’

The four paramedics cannot move while each one is surrounded.

“Pildu, there are people here too! ”

Jungwoo ran towards the fifth figure like a shot.

The user leaps over the boulder and squeezes away at the burning medium-sized tree, reaching out to the target, shrugging away from the falling fireballs.

Immediately before the big branch lit a flame and fell, Jungwoo was able to cover the top as if it were covered with a coat.

“Are you all right?"

The trembling target raises its jaw.

A woman of modest stature. I could only see that my head was long because I kept my thermal vision and moved, but I couldn't see my face properly.

“A firefighter? ”

In the shaded darkness of the coat, the woman asked, embarrassed by the appearance of a strange man shining his eyes like a cat.

“You're here to rescue me, right? ”

Jungwoo squeezes her eyes together and looks at the target with normal visible light, pointing to the helmet on her head.

“Watch out for wildfires. I was looking for this because it was in the middle of a campaign. ”

“Yes?”

The frozen woman realizes this is a joke and gives a hollow smile.

The heat storm ends one after the other.

Jungwoo shouted to the rear.

“You're safe now! ”

The crew picks up their opponents and raises them up. A man who was far away ran towards the woman.

“You okay?"

“Yes, I'm fine, sir. ”

The woman grabbed Jungwoo's arm and stood up and greeted the man.

“I'm with him. Why are you there? ”

“I was wondering if you wanted to come. ”

Jungwoo quickly said this conversation.

“If you're referring to the two who went down first, I got a call that we got to a safe place. I'm on my way to meet them. ”

“Really? Oh, thank God. ”

The woman swept off her chest.

Jungwoo felt strange to see the appearance of the woman with her face exposed to the light of the forest. I think I've seen it somewhere.

Healthy looking skin and fresh eyes. Someone in my memory who used to call the neighborhood with a fierce hand compared to my body, shook my head.

‘No way. ’

Jungwoo, who was looking at herself, tilted her head as well.

“Firefighter, what's your name? ”

“Me? Han· ·”

I'm about to answer, but someone comes up from behind yells at the woman.

“Eun-sil! I told you not to move alone. ”

Jungwoo stopped.

“Silk thread? Silk thread? ”

“Know me · · huh? Jungwoo, you?”
