html At around 15:00 on July 16, a tragedy occurred in Aluhorqin Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia. At that time, a father and son who came to attend a local college entrance banquet unfortunately drowned. According to eyewitnesses, at that time, a boy of about 16 years old was playing in the water by a local river. When he saw fish swimming in the lake, the child became interested and wanted to catch two and bring them ashore. While the child was catching fish, his foot unfortunately slipped and fell into the lake.After hearing the child's cry for help, the child's father immediately came to the river. Seeing his son struggling in the lake, the father, who was eager to save his son, ignored the dissuasion of the surrounding people and immediately jumped into the river to prepare to rescue his son. However, the father himself could not swim, and soon both father and son were in trouble.
In the end, before rescuers arrived, the father and son unfortunately drowned in the river. Rescue workers subsequently recovered the bodies of the father and son. The local Xinmin Township government also confirmed that the incident was true and that both men had died. At present, the follow-up work of the accident is still in the process of further processing.
According to local villagers, the father and son came to attend a relative's college entrance banquet and were not locals. Local villagers said that the river where the incident occurred was about 3 meters deep. Although the river surface was not wide, it was a natural river and had not been hardened. Due to long-term natural changes, the mud at the riverside and at the bottom of the river is relatively soft.
Things to note when rescuing a drowning person
In the video, after the father heard his son calling for help, he hurriedly jumped into the river in an attempt to rescue him, trying to pull his son back to the shore. However, the father who could not swim not only failed to save his son, but also put himself in danger.
As summer approaches, playing by the water has become a way for many people to cool down. However, safety issues cannot be ignored. When someone is drowning, how to carry out the rescue correctly without endangering yourself and safely rescuing the drowning person requires attention to methods.
After discovering a drowning person, if you are fluent in water, you can approach the person calling for help from behind, use one hand to extend from the person calling for help's neck, lift his head up, and allow him to resume breathing. If you find sludge blocking your mouth and nose, clean it up in time. After bringing it to the shore, wrap your fingers with gauze, pull out its tongue, and untie its collar to help it regain smooth breathing.
When you do not know how to swim and find a drowning person, you should first call the emergency number on the shore, and then use a bamboo pole, life buoy, etc. to hand the drowning person to the drowning person and drag him back to the shore. If one person is unable to pull him back, he should call for help immediately. When it is found that a drowning person's breathing has stopped or is extremely weak, artificial respiration should be taken immediately to help the person resume breathing. At the same time, the body temperature of a drowning person usually drops after they come ashore, so attention should be paid to keeping them warm.
Summer is hot. When playing in the water, you should pay attention to the warning signs at the water's edge. If there is a deep water area, do not go deep into it. Play while ensuring your own safety. If children and other minors are playing in the water, they must take good care of them and do not let the minors leave their sight.
