Centennial "Fire Brigade"

Administrator Zhou Yusen: Where is the fire? When the big gong is knocked, the big gong sounds, and everything is ringing, and the villagers are running over. Some carry dragons, some carry loads, and some hold flags.

This year, 71 years old Zhou Yusen mentioned the "water dragon" these old guys are these old guys. Shuilong is passed down by our ancestors in the ancestral hall of Shuige Zhou Village. At that time, these three flags were used to put out the fire. After all, only by finding the right position can the fire be put out quickly and accurately. The village also installed more than 20 Tonggong for "predicting fire alarms". This is the location of Tonggong. Although we old guys look a little worn, they have a lot of the wisdom of our ancestors.

These three water dragons weigh more than 200 kilograms and lighter ones, seventy or eighty kilograms. When using them, everyone must work together. So the point is here, how can we use it to put out a fire?

Administrator Zhou Yusen: First of all, there are five or six people next to them pressing them hard and pushing the person in the faucet to the fire place on it and spray water. This is specially designed to extinguish fires. It has a range of about 200 meters and its direction can be changed. This way, it can be twisted. Pull the water in other places and put it in. Press here, and the coordination is very good.

In Shuigezhou Village, "fire extinguishing" has always been the top priority. Not only do you have to put out the fire in your own village, but if there is a fire in the neighboring village, everyone will carry the water dragon and run to put out the fire. This "fire brigade" used to belong to the ancestral hall of Shuigezhou Village, but now it has become a public housing. Since 2000, these three "water dragons" have officially "retired". Since he was in his 20s, Zhou Yusen has been obliged to manage this "fire brigade" and has long had feelings for it. Now, as soon as he has time, he will come to clean up. After all, it was passed down by his ancestors, and he hopes to accumulate it for the next generation.
