Who said that the woman is not as good as a man
In September 2000, the maple leaf red season, Yang Dan left the Harbin City Public Security Fire Brigade office building, to the Special Dori squadron as deputy instructor. Yang Dan became the first female fire police officer in the first line of fire in New China.
I heard that a female colleague to come, the Special Dawley squadron was in an uproar, more than 40 male firefighters talking: "to a woman, she can do it?" But it did not take long, Yang Dan impressed the firefighters - this cheerful, simple and spirited little girl really have two skills.
Yang Dan's arrival has also brought vitality to the squadron, and everyone is very supportive of the new female instructor. The soldiers took the initiative to help the instructor like a big sister in the training. Yang Dan quickly mastered the fire knowledge and technology, and began to participate in and command fire fighting.
Yang Dan clearly remembers the first time she took part in the fire fighting scene. 2000 National Day day of 1:00 a.m., is located in Harbin City, Daoli District, one side of the street of a rubber factory workshop fire, flames, smoke rolling. Yang Dan rushed into the fire with the firefighters. Yang Dan picked up a water gun forward, the pressure of the water gun is too great, hand clutching is very hard. The fire baked skin pain, smoke smoked her tears, especially the pungent odor is suffocating, but Yang Dan still do not step back. After a tense battle, the fire was finally extinguished. Walking in the smoke of the fire, Yang Dan's heart actually gave birth to a trace of excitement. That battle, everyone gave their female instructor a high score.
On the morning of January 5, 2001, Daoli District Chang Ding Hotel semi-basement stove room diesel tank fire, the fire spread rapidly. After receiving the fire alarm, Yang Dan and the team immediately rushed to the scene, when the second floor private rooms trapped more than 20 people. Squadron Leader Liu Dongbo made the decision on the spot, split into two ways, fire fighting and rescue at the same time. Soon, the fire was extinguished, the rescue of trapped people also proceeded smoothly. At this time, Yang Dan heard into the semi-basement team members shouted "pick up", she immediately caught the stretcher handed out of the window. At first glance, she was so scared that she almost took the stretcher off the hand, the original stretcher is a body has been burned beyond recognition." In a flash, the joy in my heart from putting out the fire was gone." Yang Dan recalled: "This is the first time I saw burned to death, life in front of the fire is so fragile, which makes me feel the heavy burden on my shoulders." Fire fighting is very hard, especially in the northern cold, drip into the ice of the cold plus cold water gun, clothes outside the frozen ice, clothes within the penetration of water and sweat, coupled with continuous fighting hunger, thirst and fatigue, as well as smoke and fire, etc., and sometimes even have to hang a little color, a little injury, that all kinds of taste is really difficult to say.
Yang Dan jokingly said he got a professional disease, that is, sleep at night with one eye closed, because at any time there may be a fire alarm. Especially on holidays, it is a pillow, one year New Year's Eve, 14 consecutive police. I do not know this nerve-racking life in Yang Dan's mind in the end a few points of the bitter, but from this nature happy girl that bright face clearly see the happiness, fulfillment and confidence. Yang Dan said: "In that high degree of danger and tension in the life experience is many people can not get a lifetime."
The silent in October 2002, Yang Dan from the deputy instructor rose to the main instructor. Her ideological work is also done in a colorful way. She strengthened the love of people's education, for the people to do good, do practical things. Taking the form of "going out, inviting in", organizing officers and soldiers to visit the first detachment of the Armed Police to study, on-site experience, talk about experience; go to the Martyrs' Cemetery to sweep the graves, remembering the heroic performance of the revolutionary martyrs, and carry forward the style of not afraid of sacrifice and hard work; to the Central Avenue and Sofia Plaza to clean up, to provide tourists with a good environment for recreation and vacation. Yang Dan regularly to the squadron to help Sun Lianchen home condolences. Sun Lianchen is sick all the time, his lover is demented, his children go to school, life is difficult. The squadron sent people to help Sun Lianchen learn shoe repair techniques, buy him shoe repair tools, help him make shoe repair shed. Every holiday to his family to send rice, white flour, eggs and other condolences, so that Sun Lianchen feel the warmth of the military and civilian family and friendship.
Yang Dan in the fire at the forefront, in the usual daily life, but also the warriors of the heart sister. Soldiers are sick, she used her own medical knowledge for the soldiers to see the doctor, give them medicine, personally for them to tie the needle IV. Soldiers birthday, she sent the cake to the dormitory, organizing everyone together for the soldiers birthday, so that every soldier felt the warmth of home. Newly arrived warriors homesick, she talked to the warriors, enthusiastic enlightenment. When the veterans transferred, she used her rest time to lead the veterans to visit, so that the veterans remember the beauty of their second home. Which warrior has any difficulties, she extends a warm hand; warriors have something in mind, will also open up to the heart of this big sister to talk about. Yang Dan also served as secretary of the squadron's regimental branch, under her careful organization, the soldiers' spare time to get colorful.

Basketball court, Yang Dan a shot, will let the male comrades wide-eyed, forcing block, three-step layup, straight to see people dazzled; gala, she will also jump on a sing a song. Yang Dan with her unique female delicate and warmth decorated the life of the soldiers.
In Yang Dan's desk there is a set of photos, that is not ordinary life photos, but in the fire on the command of the battle taken down.
