Chapter 1406: Great Wisdom and the Fire in the Snowstorm
In order to keep warm, the Buddhists stranded on the streets by the heavy snow began their traditional art of making fire to keep warm.
They removed the wooden boards from the doors and windows of the shops and used them as fuel.
It was snowing heavily outside, and they would definitely not accept being asked to sit by a fire in the snow.
Therefore, these people rushed into the shops and lit fires in the shops to keep warm.
There are also a variety of fuels, and basically they use whatever is available in the store.
Wood, clothes, books, furniture, everything that could be used as fuel was found and thrown into the campfire.
The eyes of some smart people lit up when they saw the fur.
This thing is warm when you wear it, but would it be even warmer if you use it to start a fire?
A few smart people first found one and put it on, and then piled the rest together, making a pile like a small mountain.
A smart guy took out a lighter and found that the furs were not as good as he had imagined.
"I just don't believe it."
The smart guy went out, found a broken car, and stole a barrel of gasoline.
Wow, gasoline was poured on the fur.
"It depends on whether you want to burn it or not."
Ni Ge lit the windproof lighter.
call!
The gasoline was ignited, and black smoke rose up, mixed with the smell of burnt meat.
The entire fur shop was instantly filled with smoke.
“Ahem…”
Several smart people were driven out by the thick smoke.
They ran away, but the fire spread through the store.
Originally, this kind of store is equipped with automatic sprinkler systems. When encountering such thick smoke, the automatic sprinkler system will be turned on to extinguish the fire directly.
However, because the temperature dropped rapidly today and the central air conditioning was turned off, the water in the automatic sprinkler system froze and the fire could not be extinguished at all.
This caused the fire to get out of control and spread throughout the store.
The strong wind that came in through the broken doors and windows made the fire worse, and it continued to spread around and then burned the neighboring shop.
Ni Ge, who was warming himself by a fire in a neighboring shop, saw this scene, cried out in surprise, turned around and ran away from the shop.
However, the combustible materials thrown all over the ground became the culprit for the spread of the fire.
The fire spread to the next store.
The raging fire set the entire commercial street on fire.
Thick smoke billowed into the sky.
Vladimir, who was working in the yard, frowned when he saw the black smoke rising in the distance.
"It's on fire? This is not good news."
Vladimir knew very well how difficult it would be to put out a fire in such a situation.
When fire trucks cannot be dispatched, it is very difficult to put out the fire by one's own strength.
"You can't let my shelter catch fire."
Vladimir thought as he looked at the smoke in the distance.
Fire protection of the shelter is divided into two parts: inside and outside.
The issue inside is naturally the safety of using fire yourself.
Vladimir and Natasha have rich experience in this regard. They grew up next to a fireplace and naturally know how to use fire safely. There is no need to worry about a fire caused by improper use of fire.
All he needs to guard against now is external fire.
The main thing to prevent with external fires is that your neighbor’s fire might cause the rest of the family to be affected.
The easiest way to prevent external fire is to build an isolation zone.
Block off this area.
The simplest way to create a containment zone is to remove all combustible materials from the area.
Vladimir decided to use the courtyard wall as the core and build a firebreak within a three-meter range in front and behind, so as to isolate most fires.
We have also figured out how to build Vladimir.
First, clear away all combustible materials in this area.
Fortunately, there are few trees or shrubs in this area, just lawn.
Because it was winter, they all died.
Vladimir just had to roll up the turf and throw it out.
In theory, this is basically enough.
However, Vladimir was not satisfied and he pulled out a water pipe from the house and doused the area with water.
In an instant, the ground and walls were covered with thick ice .
This can not only block the fire, but even people can be blocked.
The wall covered with thick ice became even more difficult to climb.
Now, it has become impossible to climb the wall with bare hands.
The only way to climb over it is by ladder.
But how could a normal family have a ladder?
And this is a tall ladder that can climb a four-meter-high wall?
Vladimir's ice wall temporarily made his safe house indestructible.
After the ice wall was built, Vladimir climbed onto the roof and looked around with a high-powered telescope. After making sure that no one was paying attention to this place, Vladimir returned to the safe house.
Natasha had already prepared a large pot of black tea.
"Drink some to warm yourself up." Natasha handed Vladimir a cup of black tea.
Vladimir wanted to hold up the bottle of vodka and say, this is enough.
But when he saw Natasha's eyes, he unconsciously put down the vodka.
"Okay, just one cup. Let's see if your cooking skills have improved."
Vladimir picked up his teacup.
"Have you made progress?" Natasha asked with a smile as she cracked her fists.
"It's fine, it's fine." Looking at Natasha's kind eyes, Vladimir swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
After drinking the hot tea, Vladimir went out to work.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the roof was already covered with nearly a meter of snow.
If it is not cleaned in time, it will cause great pressure on the roof and even cause the roof to deform.
In this kind of weather, the roof must not be damaged in any way.
Vladimir went up to the roof. The snow was already one meter thick. Fortunately, he had strengthened the load-bearing capacity of the roof in time today, otherwise the roof would have collapsed with such thick snow.
Vladimir tied a safety rope and used a large snow shovel to push all the snow off the roof.
Just as Vladimir was clearing snow on the roof of his house, an exquisite wooden door was knocked open.
"Damn it, do you know what time it is? If you don't have a reason to convince me, you don't have to come tomorrow."
A middle-aged fat man in pajamas stood behind the wooden door. Looking through the gap in the wooden door, one could see a magnificent bedroom, a huge double bed, and two disheveled beauties.
"Mr. Mayor, it's snowing heavily outside. According to experts, this may be the biggest snowstorm since the founding of New York, and the snowfall may exceed two meters. I'm here..." the secretary outside the door said hurriedly.
"Two meters? Damn it!" The mayor was shocked. "Get the helicopter ready immediately. I want to leave here immediately."
The mayor cursed and turned to start packing his things.
"You two, don't lie on the bed. Take all the valuables with you. Go and bring Hott here and take him away with you. He's a purebred dog that I bought for one hundred thousand dollars!" the mayor shouted.
Upon hearing this, the two beauties on the bed immediately got up and started packing their things.
"But Mr. Mayor, 20 million citizens of New York City are still waiting for your rescue." The mayor's secretary quickly reminded him upon seeing this.
"Rescue?" Upon hearing the word, the mayor laughed disdainfully.
"Rescue is something that only third world countries would do. Here, there is no rescue, only the law of the jungle. If they cannot survive, it only means that they don't deserve to continue living. If you want to stay, then stay. There is no place for you on the plane."
