Chapter 247: Chapter 164: Rescue! A Firefighter with 90% Burns!

“Oh my God! Which neighborhood is this?”

“It seems to be Heaven-Reaching Garden, and there was an explosion! My God!”

“So scary, such a big fire!”

…

On the road,

Qin Feng was stopped at an intersection, waiting for the traffic light. He had just opened his window when he vaguely heard two girls on a scooter exclaiming about something.

It sounded like fire and explosion. His doctorly sensitivity immediately felt something was off.

Because when fire and explosion are mentioned together, it definitely means something major!

But there hadn’t been any reports of a fire in Jiangcheng~

Maybe it was somewhere else.

Qin Feng didn’t pay much attention and drove on.

Ding dong~

Just then,

his phone suddenly lit up with a notification.

A fire occurred in Heaven-Reaching Garden in Jiangcheng City. The property management blocked the fire trucks from entering, leading to an explosion.

(⊙o⊙)…

What!

It really is in Jiangcheng!

Qin Feng was stunned the moment he read the message. He didn’t expect that the conversation of those two girls just now was about somewhere nearby.

Beep beep beep~

While he was in a daze, a honk urging him sounded from behind.

Qin Feng snapped back to reality, frowned slightly, then sharply turned the steering wheel, making a right turn toward Heaven-Reaching Garden neighborhood.

He wasn’t initially concerned about the fire, because generally, as long as the firefighters are there, it shouldn’t be a problem.

But an explosion is serious!

People might be injured!

…

In City Third Hospital,

a few figures from the emergency department were rushing out madly, jumping into two ambulances.

“Let’s go!”

After confirming all medical equipment was ready, the leading doctor quickly urged the driver to set off.

They just received news of a fire and explosion at Heaven-Reaching Garden, with injured people on-site needing urgent rescue.

City Third Hospital is only five minutes away from the fire site, so they had to leave immediately.

However,

when the ambulance from City Third Hospital reached the neighborhood and had just pushed out the stretcher,

they saw a scorched figure lying on the ground, along with an elderly person and a child nearby.

“Help first!”

Two doctors hurriedly ran over to assess the situation.

The elderly person and the child were already unconscious, but not injured; they had lung rales indicating signs of poisoning.

The other burn victim was breathing rapidly, with slightly dilated pupils and was in a bad condition.

Most severely, the clothes on the body had melted from the high temperature and were sticking to the skin.

Severe burns all over!

“Damn.”

The doctor, upon seeing this, couldn’t help but swallow nervously, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

This young person’s body was burned so badly that even to the naked eye it could be seen that at least 80% of the area was affected, which is a major burn!

City Third Hospital had never before seen a burn patient of this severity.

“Get them on the ambulance for emergency treatment first.”

The doctor had no other option at the moment but to evacuate the person. After speaking, he took out a phone to call,

“Hello, Director, there is a patient with severe burns on-site, with burn coverage exceeding 80%.”

“What?! It’s that serious!”

The emergency department director at City Third Hospital was shocked when he heard this on the phone,

“Don’t panic, I’m figuring it out now, focus on emergency treatment to save them first.”

After saying that, the City Third Hospital emergency department director hung up and quickly called City First Hospital.

“This is Du Zhong, director of the emergency department at City Third Hospital. Our ambulance just picked up a severely burned patient; can you take them…”

Two minutes later, both the emergency and burn units at City First Hospital received this urgent news.

Ring ring ring~

At this moment,

Zhou Xianren’s phone rang; it was Qin Feng calling.

“Qin Feng, what’s up?”

“Was anyone injured in the Heaven-Reaching Garden fire?”

Qin Feng cut straight to the chase without wasting words.

“Huh?”

Zhou Xianren was taken aback by this. Hadn’t Qin Feng left? How did he learn the news so quickly?

“Yes, there’s a critically burned patient. City Third Hospital can’t handle it and asked if we can take them.”

“I’m already at the entrance of Heaven-Reaching Garden. I’ll go and check.”

“What? You’re at Heaven-Reaching Garden? That’s great!”

Zhou Xianren’s eyes lit up with surprise and happiness, like receiving a gift in the midst of a crisis!

Vice Director Liu and the head of the burn unit, sitting nearby, also straightened up and exchanged glances.

“Good, good, good, thank you so much!”

After Zhou Xianren hung up the phone, he turned to the two, a look of relief and joy on his face,

“Qin Feng is right at Heaven-Reaching Garden, he’ll go take a look at the patient.”

“Director Qin is going? That’s excellent!”

“Indeed, where hasn’t Qin Feng been?”

The two of them eased slightly upon hearing this, as if suddenly more assured.

….

Screech~

Qin Feng drifted into a swift stop, parking his Porsche next to the two ambulances. He opened the car door and rushed out.

“Get them on the ambulance and head back to the hospital!”

As the elderly person and child were being put into the ambulance and it slowly started to move,

Qin Feng already approached the other vehicle and saw the charred figure being loaded inside.

“Wait a moment!”

He quickly stopped the nurse about to shut the door and jumped into the vehicle.

Everyone was taken aback, then quickly recognized him.

“You are…..”

The emergency doctor, pointing at him, suddenly realized that he couldn’t recall for a moment but could see the surprise on his face.

“Qin Feng from City First Hospital; I just received your transfer request.”

As the words fell, everyone exchanged glances, both delighted and surprised.

That was quick!

“Let me examine the patient first.”

Qin Feng glanced over at the patient. The firefighter on the stretcher had already lost consciousness. His hair and eyebrows had been burned off by the fire, and his whole face was charred and bloody.

The only identifiable thing was the bright orange-yellow firefighter uniform on him.

A firefighter?

“What happened?”

Qin Feng looked at the emergency doctor from the third hospital and asked.

“The elderly person we just rescued had a few cases of liquor stored at home, which were ignited by the fire and exploded. This firefighter protected the child first, got the child out, and didn’t have time to get away before being severely burned by the backdraft from the explosion.”

“In this condition, I’m afraid our hospital can’t handle it, the burns are too severe!”

“Doctor! Doctor, please, you have to save him, he’s only 23 years old! He just got his marriage certificate yesterday! He can’t die!”

The two firefighters who saved him couldn’t help but start crying at this moment, and their captain ran over, standing outside the vehicle, desperately holding his hand and pleading.

Qin Feng couldn’t help but feel a lump in his throat as he witnessed the scene before him.

He sacrificed his life to save a child!

This is a hero!

“Transferring to the provincial hospital would be too late now, go to the City First Hospital!”

Qin Feng looked at the emergency doctor with a determined tone.

The ambulance set off without any further delay, and as soon as the monitoring equipment was installed, seeing the data made everyone draw a sharp breath.

Blood pressure was dropping rapidly!

The heart rate had already reached 220!

Blood oxygen saturation was plummeting!

…..

There were almost no signs of improvement; his life was in constant danger!

Qin Feng assessed the injuries while simultaneously directing the emergency medical efforts.

Over 90% of the skin on his body had varying degrees of burns, with respiratory tract burns, and both internal and external injuries.

“Start fluid replacement immediately. Stabilize blood oxygen!”

Anti-shock, prevent electrolyte imbalance, antibiotics…

“Director Qin, the patient’s blood oxygen is still dropping!”

The emergency doctor suddenly looked at him and said.

The blood oxygen is still dropping?

Qin Feng instinctively glanced at the firefighter on the stretcher who was breathing oxygen; under normal circumstances, it shouldn’t be like this!

Blood oxygen saturation was still dropping; was the oxygen not going in?

He placed his hand on the patient’s throat for a careful examination. Due to airway burns, laryngeal edema might have occurred.

Qin Feng hastily removed the oxygen mask, opened the mouth for a look.

Sure enough, laryngeal edema was blocking the airway!

“A tracheotomy is needed, 2% Lidocaine, quick!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the nurse beside him hurriedly passed the tools over.

Qin Feng swiftly got to work, sterilizing and anesthetizing with Lidocaine, and wielded the scalpel without hesitation.

He cut along the midline of the neck, separated the tissues in front of the trachea, and exposed the trachea to make the incision.

“Cannula.”

Qin Feng took the tracheal cannula and inserted it precisely, nodding towards the doctor.

Oxygen flow was restored. In just two minutes, blood oxygen saturation began to rapidly climb back to 95%.

Additionally, with rapid intravenous fluid replenishment, although the burns had caused massive fluid loss, at least the vital signs were temporarily stabilized.

Because this was an ambulance, there would be bumps while moving, so Qin Feng personally handled every operation.

Only he could ensure there’s not even a hint of inaccuracy!

Seeing the vital signs start to improve, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But they remained tense, especially Qin Feng, who felt an immense weight on his shoulders.

When it comes to severe burns like these, his life hasn’t truly been saved yet.

Every minute and second from here on was a brush with death…

Burns within the first 48 hours are a danger period, with the risk of hypovolemic shock death looming at any time.

In burn victims, fluid loss is immense, and in the first 8 hours, fluid leakage is at its fastest — this is the time to fight for fluids and race against time.

The most crucial and grueling part is the lengthy anti-infection treatment that follows.

Only by surviving the infection treatment could they proceed to the continuous surgeries, each more challenging than the last!

…

Half an hour later,

The ambulance finally arrived at the City First Hospital, where a crowd of medical staff had already gathered at the emergency entrance.

At this moment, they couldn’t help feeling tense!

Because this incident had already blown up online!

During the explosion, there were hundreds of onlookers, with videos captured from different angles spreading wildly online.

Particularly in the moment of the explosion, everyone saw with their own eyes how the firefighter passed the child out first.

He was just adjusting his posture to step out when a massive flame surged out from behind him in an instant.

People saw the firefighter viciously slammed against the wall by the shockwave, still gripping the window ledge tightly, trying to climb out.

But the next second,

They watched the flames retract violently, pulling the firefighter back in, engulfing him.

By the time other firefighters suppressed the flames, burst in through the window, and carried the firefighter out, all that was left was a charred human form.

Those who saw the video couldn’t help but tear up.

If not for rescuing the child first, he wouldn’t have been engulfed by the explosion.

But at the last moment, the firefighter hesitated not.

Because wearing the uniform meant being ready to sacrifice at any moment…

Then,

The moment Qin Feng rushed onto the ambulance and the firefighter captain was holding his hand, crying out, it was also recorded by people around and shared online.

Now,

The internet had erupted into a wave~

“Oh my God! That firefighter is only 23? So young!”

“Hearing his words breaks my heart~”

“Newlywed, risking his life for one child, that’s a true hero.”

“There is no peaceful time, it’s just that some of us are carrying the weight forward~”

“These are the people’s soldiers, always protecting the public well in danger, but forgetting that they can also be hurt.”

“Tears are flowing! Please, let him not die! Doctors, please save him!”

“Prayers from Sichuan and Shu~”

“Prayers from Guangchuan~”

“Prayers from Yunnan and Guizhou~”

“Prayers from Fuyun~”

…

In just a few minutes, waves of concern and prayers erupted online.

Even the leaders of Su Province were alarmed, inquiring Jiangcheng City about the situation. Upon learning that the patient was headed for the City First Hospital, they immediately demanded every effort be made to save him!

Naturally, the pressure was now on the shoulders of the City First Hospital.

Within just ten minutes, the phone in Director Zhang Tong’s office hadn’t stopped, one call after another, all from authorities insisting that no matter the cost, they must treat this firefighter.

Overwhelming pressure!

Perhaps for Director Zhang Tong right now, the only confidence allowing him to remain here answering calls was that,

Qin Feng is the one saving the person!
