Chapter 2232 A sudden fire

Just as Wang Zan was calming down his feelings and flew to China, a tragic accident happened not far from Shanghai. The sudden occurrence of this incident directly occupied the headlines in the past two days. It can almost be said that the whole country is talking about this matter.

The cause of the incident is urban renovation, urban village demolition, old community maintenance, etc. After all, this city is a bit old, and many buildings were built around the mid-1980s. Now more than 20 years have passed, and these buildings have to be maintained, otherwise the appearance is not good-looking and the safety is not accurate, especially those high-rise buildings with elevators.

Wang Zan's former college classmate, Wang Xiaobei, a brother who slept in a dormitory on a bunk bed, is in the construction industry. He has been developing well over the years and firmly occupies a place among the first few seats of the real estate army.

A construction company under Wang Xiaobei's family undertook the maintenance of an old community in a district, but the company did not do it itself, but contracted it out and handed it over to some small companies to operate, and then they earned the difference from it.

Basically, this kind of project is done this way, because maintenance is not difficult. Another thing is that the project is not too much, so there is no need to worry about operating it. You can just transfer it out after you get the project. After you finish it, it is basically the same as making a profit.

Such outsourcing companies are basically owned by individual teams. Better ones have qualifications and formal procedures, licenses, and sloppy ones may be an engineering team, and they don’t even have an office address.

This time, Wang Xiaobei's company was outsourced a qualified company. He also knew that this kind of thing was common, but he usually turned a blind eye and insisted on the idea that the company would drink some soup as well as others, so he would not interfere with these things.

But unexpectedly, this operation brought a lot of trouble this time.

In the old city of Yuhang, a very prosperous street called Zhongzheng Street. There are two 17-story apartments next to the roadside. The apartment was built very early. It was in the late 1980s. It was an employee apartment of a machinery factory, specially used for the workers of our factory to live in.

Later, it has been two thousand years since then, and various state-owned enterprises have been reorganized one after another. This machinery factory has been ruined due to poor management. Since then, these two apartments have been rarely maintained. After all, they have no money. Only one property company usually cleans the house and then sends an old man in his sixties or seventies to see the door.

Young people are definitely unwilling to live in high-rise apartments like this that are old and have grown up in the past. Nowadays, there are mainly two types of people living in it. One is the old employees of the machinery factory. These people are very old and generally have retired ages around the age of seventy. Then some of them are outside tenants. After all, the location of this place is good, and the rent is quite cheap.

It was around 2 p.m. that day.

There is a layer of scaffolding installed on the outer periphery of the two apartments. Several workers are doing the outer layer of the upper layer. The surface of the upper layer is painted. In the past, there were many places with small pieces of ceramic tiles. This appearance was relatively fashionable in the past, but the safety was extremely poor. Over time, under the changes in feng shui sun and temperature, these tiles are easy to fall off. If they hit people, it would be an accident. Therefore, tiles are not allowed in high-rise buildings nowadays.

The exterior maintenance of these two apartments is to remove all the tiles on the outside and repaint them. The building is still the same, but the appearance will definitely be completely renewed. At least it will be quite comfortable and pleasing to the eye. The most important thing is that the skin will not fall off.

On the 16th floor of the apartment, two workers were chatting while working. The temperature in Yuhang this season is not very hot. On the contrary, the weather in March is still a bit chilly, especially after being outside for a long time, the cold feeling will make people disobey their hands and feet.

"Let's take a break and smoke a cigarette. It's so cold that day. My hands and feet are not very good, it's numb." A migrant worker in his fifties took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to a worker next to him.

After the coworker reached out to take it, he smiled and said, "Don't let the lower part see it. There are regulations. Open flames are not allowed during construction. There are safety protection nets below, and the scaffolding is also made of wood. If it catches fire, something will happen."

"Oh, what's the matter? We don't just smoke a cigarette butt, and who can see it? It's so high, and the smoke will dissipate with the wind. After smoking later, don't throw it around. Just strangle it to death and put it in your pocket..."

Under the apartment, several people wearing hard hats were tilting their heads to check. They were all foreman in charge of construction and the contractor. Even if they were tilting their heads, the two smokers were facing their backs to them, so naturally they really couldn't see what people were doing.

Another thing is that even if you see someone smoking, these people probably won’t care too much. At most, they will just take it with one mouthful afterwards and won’t be too serious. You really can’t ask for too much outdoor construction because it’s not very useful when you say it. Most workers will have one ear and then the ear pops out.

The weather today is pretty good. Although the temperature is not very high, it is quite sunny. There is a little wind on the ground, and the wind in the high altitude is a little stronger.

A few minutes later, the two workers finished smoking. They did not leave the cigarette butts in their hands, but wanted to press them on the scaffolding next to them and put them out.

But unexpectedly, one of the people strangled the cigarette to death while pressing the cigarette butt, but the cigarette butt with sparks in front fell down.

Everyone who smokes knows that the area where the fire end is connected to the tobacco is easy to fall off.

Originally, this was nothing, and nothing would happen, but everything was possible.

The construction site was on the 16th floor, and then on the 10th floor, a family thought the weather was good today, so they took out the quilt in the room and put it on the balcony to dry it. This family went out to work during the day, which means there was no one at home.

When the cigarette butt with Martians fell from above, the worker subconsciously looked down, but did not think there was anything wrong with it. Anyway, the cigarette butt fell down at such a high place and then it would be destroyed.
