It took a whole night of hard effort to put off the the fire in the industrial park. At the early morning hours of Friday, firefighters began to search the trapped workers and residents albeit a sleepless night.

FIGHT SMARTER AGAINGST SECONDARY DISASTER

"The explosion of a large number of chemical products made the rescue more difficult than ever," said Lu. "We must pay extra attention to prevent the secondary disasters and act scientifically."

For example, the rescue team from Changzhou city was capable of using maps and live videos to offer evidence for further decision-making and analyze the cause of the incident before reaching the scene.

Luo Huaxin, a commander with Changzhou's fire brigade, found two benzene tanks and a methanol tank on fire near the explosion point. "There will be serious consequences if the flames burst out," said Luo.

In response, Luo's team made several plans to control the fire based on different chemical materials. Film-forming foam was used to put off the fire of a benzene tank and non-fusibility foam was used for the methanol tank, Luo said.

"The explosion might cause uNPRedictable consequences, so we send various devices to detect the situation before firefighters began their search," Luo added.

During the rescue, life detectors, thermal cameras and GDS devices are widely used to help locate the trapped workers and residents.
