at 19:34, the firefighters arrived at the scene and learned that two young men were lost in the mountains and could not get down by themselves, and they were in urgent need of water and food. considering that the two trapped people had climbed the mountain by themselves and had no outdoor hiking experience and could not accurately describe their trapped location, the firefighters and scenic area staff speculated their approximate location based on the trapped people's vague descriptions and developed a detailed and thorough rescue plan. the firefighters carried satellite phones, ropes, lights and sufficient supplies into the mountains for rescue.
due to the complex and steep terrain, and the sudden light rain during the rescue, the mountain roads were slippery and the firefighters had difficulty moving. due to the unstable communication network, it was impossible to contact the trapped people, which made the rescue work more difficult. the rescue work lasted until late at night. during the rescue, the firefighters determined the location of the trapped people by shouting and other means. at 21:34, the firefighters reunited with the trapped people. after inspection, it was found that none of the trapped people were injured. due to the rain, it was more difficult to go down the mountain. the firefighters escorted the trapped people down the mountain by means of rope protection. at 22:58, the firefighters successfully escorted the two trapped people down the mountain.
the changping district fire rescue brigade reminds the general public to plan routes and time reasonably before climbing, not to climb wild mountains, carry emergency supplies with them, pay attention to weather conditions, keep communications open, and call 119 for help immediately in case of injuries, getting lost, or other emergencies.
