Around 10 a.m. yesterday, inside the storage yard of Guangshi Logistics Company, a hazardous materials transport vehicle loaded with liquid chlorine cylinders suddenly emitted thick white smoke from its cargo area – there had been a leak of liquid chlorine. Upon receiving the alarm, the Guangzhou Fire Special Operations Unit, the city’s emergency rescue team for toxic substances, along with rescue personnel from relevant departments such as those responsible for work safety and environmental protection, rushed to the scene immediately, and the incident was brought under control within 3 minutes. This is also the first time that Guangzhou’s transportation system has conducted a large-scale emergency drill of this kind since the serious accident on the Yangtze River Expressway on June 29. Reporters saw at the scene yesterday that \"toxic gas\" quickly filled the carriage. The driver and the escort quickly drove the vehicle to an open area to take self-rescue measures before calling the police. Upon arriving at the scene of the \"liquid chlorine leak,\" the city’s public security fire brigade sprayed fire mist to prevent any leakage of chlorine gas. In just 3 minutes, the leak was sealed and the emergency was resolved, eliminating the threat posed by the liquid chlorine leak. Previously, the participants also carried out emergency leak sealing and overload simulation exercises in response to gas leaks caused by damaged valves on liquefied petroleum gas transport vehicles; they managed to seal the leaks in just 2 minutes each, and completed the overload simulation for a full vehicle of liquefied petroleum gas in 3 minutes. ， ， -hcbbs
There is still a slight difference between the actual situation and practice.

Emergency responders rushed to the scene and brought the incident under control in no time. Do you believe it? It’s already a great achievement to be able to figure out what’s going on in 3 minutes; not to mention how to move the cylinders to locate the one involved in the accident, let alone how to carry out rescue efforts – it’s just a trick used by children in games! If an accident really happens, people will die!
The risk level is still quite high; safety must be taken into account whether it’s training or anything else
Who are we acting for? It’s just to make the boss happy. Everyone from top to bottom is an actor.
Hehe, with preparation it takes three minutes – one can imagine how simple the process is. External factors were hardly taken into account; the performance was not only fake but also extremely simplistic!
Do you have any basic knowledge about water treatment? A full steel cylinder of liquid chlorine – water reacting with liquid chlorine to produce acid will only accelerate the rate of leakage!
A truck carrying liquid chlorine cylinders is emitting white smoke. Does a chlorine leak result in white smoke? I’m not sure if it’s a typo or meant to make LD happy. Besides, chlorine gas bu*aoqi should be used, right? Is water mist appropriate? There is still a big difference between the drills and actual situations
If it’s true, not to mention three minutes, even adding ten more minutes might not be enough to stop it.
