Chongqing Changshou Conducts High-Rise Building Fire Evacuation Emergency Drill

On July 10, an alarm suddenly sounded in the dispatch building of State Grid Chongqing Changshou Power Supply Company, marking the commencement of a high-rise building fire evacuation emergency drill simulating real-world scenarios.

The drill simulated a fire outbreak in the communication equipment room on the third floor of Building 1, immediately triggering the smoke detection alarm system and activating a full-building emergency response. From fire confirmation and initial containment to comprehensive evacuation, high-altitude rescue operations, and external firefighting efforts, the entire exercise was completed within just 20 minutes, demonstrating effective "rapid response and efficient coordination."

A highlight of this exercise was Changshou District's first deployment of an aerial ladder truck and a high-pressure water tower truck in joint operations for firefighting and rescue at high-rise buildings, establishing an integrated response model of "high-altitude rescue combined with external fire suppression."
