2020-08-24 11:42:51

At 3 p.m. on August 19, seven people were trapped in a riverside building of Haitang Xiaoyue. Firefighters were immediately sent with two lifeboats in response. When firefighters arrived at the site, they found the first floor of the residential building had been largely submerged with less than half a meter left. Firefighters took into account that two of the trapped were a 70-year-old citizen and a 2-year-old girl, so they carried the citizen and the girl to the lifeboat.

On August 19, some streets in Banan District were flooded as water levels continued to rise. More than 30 elderly people with walking problems in a nursing home in Tuqiao Town, Banan District, needed to be urgently moved. Firefighters urgently moved the elderly to a safer place.

On the morning of August 19, the first floor of a hotel apartment on Changbin Road was flooded, while the ninth floor of a hotel was still occupied by five lying-in women and five babies, the youngest of which was born only three days. The narrow road prevented lifeboats from entering the building. With the help of the maternity hotel staff, rescuers could move the women and babies out in a wooden box.
