Adhering to High Temperature | Highway Obstacle Removal and Rescue Team on standby for towing and obstacle removal | Beijing | Highway
CCTV News: Since the 16th, Beijing has entered a new round of high-temperature weather, with daily highest temperatures exceeding 36 ℃. During the high temperature period, the highway cleaning and rescue team is still ready to deploy at any time and promptly clear and tow faulty vehicles.
At around 12:00 noon on the 19th, the Jingha Expressway obstacle clearance and rescue team received a call from the car owner for help. Due to engine failure, the vehicle needs to be towed off the highway for repair. After confirming the information with the car owner, Jiang Xiuchuan and his partner Duan Huiyang immediately drove into a rescue vehicle. Upon arrival at the scene, they stacked the cones and set up a safe working area, while one person checked the condition of the faulty vehicle. After multiple attempts, the towing hook of the faulty vehicle still does not match the interface, and it is not possible to drag the faulty vehicle onto the rescue vehicle through the towing hook.

The two of them attached the iron chain and trailer hook tools to the front chassis of the faulty car, but this required drilling into the bottom of the car and operating it on the ground. The temperature on the asphalt road at noon has approached 60 ℃, and the scorching road surface and waves of heat make people feel scorching. Subsequently, the two people used a winch to tow the faulty vehicle onto the rescue vehicle, and then fixed the four tires of the faulty vehicle one by one. Working outdoors at high temperatures on highways, sweat beads kept popping out of their hair.
Car owner: I don't have sunscreen either. It's such a hot day at noon, and it's not easy. Thank you to them.

Jiang Xiuchuan, a rescue worker from the Capital Highway Development Group, said: "We will be on duty 24 hours a day during the summer, but it's not always the two of us who come out. There are also other masters. After we go back, we will replace them and they will come out in the next wave.".
The summer season is a time when there are relatively more accident and faulty vehicles on the highway. The high-speed obstacle clearance department in Beijing will dispatch nearby rescue vehicles for towing services as soon as possible through platform command and dispatch based on the basic information of the accident vehicles.
