Our press news: because of feeling overwhelming living pressure and not finding a place to vent, a young man actually made up something out of nothing by calling the 119 fire alarm number and falsely claiming that there was a major fire situation. Although it was eventually confirmed to be just a false alarm, Li Mou, who falsely reported the fire, was still punished for his previous ignorant actions and was administratively detained for 10 days by the public security authorities according to law.
It is understood that at around 8:30 PM on November 27, 2009, the Changzhou 119 command center received an emergency call from a young man. The caller said that a workshop of the Yabang Group in Niutang, Wujin District, was on fire and the fire was abnormally fierce, "if the fire department doesn't arrive soon, the consequences will be serious." Given that this enterprise is a key large-scale hazardous chemical enterprise within the jurisdiction, the staff of the 119 command center immediately dispatched the Wujin Special Service Detachment with 5 vehicles and 22 people to rush to the scene. However, while everyone at the command center was waiting for feedback on the "serious fire", the Wujin Special Service Detachment, which had already arrived at the scene first, returned the information that "there was no abnormality at the scene", which left everyone puzzled. After repeated inquiries and requiring the security supervisor of the Yabang Group to organize personnel to investigate the entire factory area, it was finally determined that it was a false alarm.
A firefighter responsible for receiving the call introduced the situation at the time: "I didn't hear it clearly at first, then when I heard that it was a big fire at Yabang, I jumped off my chair in fright, then I notified the leader and prepared to dispatch reinforcements, only to find out that it was a false alarm. But there's nothing we can do, we must respond to every alarm, just in case!" After the false alarm incident, the Wujin Fire Special Service Detachment actively assisted the local police station in conducting investigations and evidence collection, and through technical means, the man who made the false call was caught. It is understood that this surnamed Li man is 28 years old and is a migrant worker from Hubei who came to Changzhou. He originally worked as a temporary worker in a machinery plant in Wujin with a low income. His wife has just given birth, and all the expenses at home have to be borne by him alone, causing his living pressure to increase suddenly, resulting in very unstable psychology. On the night of the incident, after drinking to drown his sorrows, Xiao Li actually called the fire department in order to relieve his stress. Currently, the man has been administratively detained for 10 days. (Xiao Chen, Guo Jingyu, Xiao Wei)
