The example of a foreign teacher who volunteered to help fight the wildfires in Chongqing’s Beibei District with other local residents has touched many.
In the unbearable heat and drought conditions, multiple wildfires hit parts of Chongqing. On Sunday night, a forest fire broke out and spread in Beibei District. The local government issued an urgent call for volunteers with certain skills and experience, such as chain saw（链锯）operation, to join in the firefighting. Chain saws were ud to create fire barriers.
“I was happy to help,” said Francis Stonier, a professor in a university. “I ud to cut trees around my yard and neighborhood and had volunteered many times in the US in the past.”
Stonier found a translator—50-year-old He Wu, a foreign language professor—who also signed up to fight fires. Soon after arriving at the volunteer area, the pair were assigned to one of the chain saw groups—examining and adjusting chain saws.
“Stonier is responsible and focud, and is doing a really good job,” said He, adding that Stonier checked each chain saw carefully, to e if it was too tight or too loo. “Wherever I went, the volunteers and local residents gave me a big thumbs-up. It was an unforgettable experience,” Stonier said.
Thanks to the joint efforts of fire and rescue workers, as well as volunteers and residents, the scaring wildfire in Beibei had been put out as of Thursday night.
“It was great to e such an outpouring of help in the extreme heat,” Stonier said, noting that he was impresd with the number of locals who came to help. Motorcyclists gave up their jobs to transport materials and people up and down the mountains. Others gave their time to carry heavy supplies, prepare and rve meals or help organize.考研的英文
