A firefighter in Nantou recently pulled off a jaw-dropping feat during a mission, single-handedly pushing a stationary 1.75-ton truck out of harm’s way. His fire brigade had been struggling to create space around a van that had caught fire on the side of the road. But thanks to his rigorous gym training and fast thinking, he cleared out space by pushing a neighboring vehicle away with brute force, helping to extinguish the blaze.
Smoke pours out from a van on the side of the road, as firefighters, fully equipped, rush to put out the blaze. The two vehicles on either side could catch fire at any time, so one firefighter tries to open the door.
But sometimes the answer is brawn over brains. One of the firefighters rushes to the truck next to the fire, opens the door, pulls down the handbrake and rushes out again. Then he runs to the back and pushes the 1.75-ton vehicle forward all on his own.
Now that there’s enough space, the fire brigade is able to put the fire out. The incident took place in Puli, Nantou. It is thought that the van caught fire due to its old electrical system. Seeing that it was parked close to two other vehicles, the top priority for the firefighters was to make space.

The operation was made more difficult because of the vehicles blocking the way. We couldn’t open the door of the van. So we resorted to manual force to release the handbrake and push the small truck away to create some space.
Pushing a truck by brute force is far from easy, but perhaps not so much for this muscular firefighter who loves to work out. And all the exercise was not in vain, as it was just the solution needed for the critical moment.

I like keeping track of the work we do, to let people know what kind of work we do as firefighters. I like recording my life as a firefighter and showing people footage of disaster operations.
His quick thinking and strong muscles proved handy at just the right time, preventing the fire from spreading and causing more damage.

路邊廂型車,不斷冒出黑煙,消防人員全副武裝,希望能盡速撲滅火勢,但眼看火勢就要燒到緊鄰的兩台車輛,消防員擠進車身縫隙,試圖打開車門。
這時其中一位消防員做了一個大膽的決定,走到隔壁小貨車旁,打開車門,拉下手煞,繞到貨車最後方,使出洪荒之力,徒手將重達1.75噸的小貨車向前推。
有了活動空間,幾位消防員成功將火勢撲滅。事發在南投埔里鎮,這台廂型車疑似是因為線路老舊,導致突然起火,由於一旁車輛都停放的相當接近,消防員便將貨車推開,挪出救火空間。

“搶救上比較困難,因為旁邊的車子都堵住,所以沒有辦法第一時間,將原本燃燒的車子的門打開,後來我們是用人力的方式放手煞車,將旁邊一台小的發財車把它推開,才可以做搶救”
要將一台貨車,徒手推開,可不是常人能做到的,原來這位消防員,可是位肌肉猛男,平時熱愛健身,才會在危急時刻,想出這個方法。

“因為平常我自己就喜歡記錄,因為我想要讓大家知道消防員的工作,面臨的環境大概是怎樣的環境,所以我自己會喜歡記錄消防的生活,救災現場的畫面”
消防員在緊急時刻,靈機一動,徒手挪車,阻止火勢延燒,也將損失降到最低。
