Xianhai District launched water emergency rescue drill

In order to further test the actual combat capability of the emergency rescue team for water safety accidents, strengthen the leadership command decision-making and overall coordination ability, recently, 2018 water emergency safety emergency rescue drill was held in Xianhai Lake, which guided by the Municipal Tourism Development Committee, sponsored by the Party Working Committee and Management Committee of Xianhai District, and jointly organized by Xianhai District Tourism Development Center and Youxian District Fire Brigade.
 
This drill was divided into three subjects. The first was the ship collision, people drowning and the rescue operations. It was simulated a passenger speedboat accidentally collided with a cruise ship near the Xianhai Lake dam due to mechanical failure, causing passengers on the cruise ship to fall into the water. The video monitoring room staff found the danger and immediately reported to the on-site duty officer and notified the emergency rescue team. After received the report, the emergency command quickly launched the emergency plan and sent a water rescue team to drive the emergency rescue ship to the accident waters for rescue. At the same time, the ship near the accident waters quickly called to the accident waters to start mutual rescue. After the rescue team rescued the drowning people on the life-saving speedboat, they will return the drowning personnel back to the dock in time and handed them over to the 120 emergency workers for further ambulance work.
 
Then, a ship fire emergency response drill was carried out. Due to the fire caused by the collision, the emergency rescue team immediately used fire extinguishers and fire water guns on the ship to extinguish the fire. After a few minutes, the fire was extinguished. In the final ship oil spill prevention and disposal drill, the drill site simulated fuel leakage due to collision of the accident ship, and a large area of oil appeared on the water surface, which floated on the lake surface and expanded the pollution waters. After received the instructions, the rescue team immediately controlled the oil spill by polluting the waters, using oil absorbent pads for recovering and spraying oil dispersant for disposing oil. With the cooperation of various departments, the site accidents were safely and timely disposed.
 
The relevant person in charge of the drill told the reporter that the drill was to strengthen the rescue skills and environmental protection awareness of all departments and water transport enterprises in the sudden water safety accidents, and to minimize the casualties caused by sudden water safety accidents, economic losses and environmental pollution, efforts to ensure the safety of life and property of the majority of tourists, and to do a good job in the protection of the water environment.
