Recently, the Wulituo Emergency Station of the Shijingshan Branch of Beijing 120 Emergency Center received an urgent call — a person had fallen and been injured near a reservoir, requiring immediate rescue. The emergency team quickly set out for the scene.

Upon arrival, the crew found that the injured person had fallen into a rugged mountain gully. Dense weeds, uneven slopes, and difficult terrain made every step challenging. Knowing that every second counts, the team decisively requested assistance from the fire department while heading toward the injured person’s location. Carrying trauma kits on their shoulders, the medical staff climbed the slippery hillside with great effort until they finally reached the patient.Dr. Ma Jianchun crouched beside the patient, carefully examining the wounds and promptly performing wound dressing and hemostasis with professionalism and composure. Nurse Dai Qian stayed close, assisting skillfully while speaking gently to comfort the frightened patient and ease his anxiety.

Soon, firefighters arrived with professional rescue equipment, marking the start of a joint race against time. The 120 emergency team and the fire rescue personnel worked in perfect coordination—stabilizing the stretcher, clearing a safe path, and carefully supporting the patient. Every movement reflected a shared commitment to protecting life. Finally, the joint rescue team successfully lifted the injured person out of the ravine and transferred him onto the ambulance. Driver Kang Aiyou drove swiftly and steadily toward the hospital, allowing the patient to receive further treatment without delay and winning precious time for recovery.

Beijing 120 reminds you that the tranquil breeze and glimmering waters around reservoirs may seem inviting, but they can also conceal hidden dangers. Moist areas are prone to slippery moss, and unseen uneven ground can easily cause accidents — especially in the early morning when dew remains or after rain when surfaces are slick.

Please remember these three safety principles:

Stick to safe routes:

1. Choose paved and well-maintained paths. Stay away from steep slopes, wet grassy areas, and unpaved ground. Watch out for hidden hazards such as ditches or depressions.

2. Be well-prepared for safety:

Wear non-slip shoes, slow your pace, and reduce distractions such as using your phone. Stay aware of the path under your feet.

3. Take responsibility for others’ safety:

When accompanying elderly people or children, be extra attentive and offer reminders or a helping hand when needed. A little care builds a strong line of safety for your loved ones.

In case of an emergency, call 120 immediately for assistance.
