柯克兰湖志愿消防员肖恩·王（Shawn Wong）从燃烧的公寓中救出妇女

3月2日晚上在柯克兰湖（Kirkland Lake）爆发了两起结构的火灾时，志愿消防员肖恩·王（Shawn Wong）被召集到以前从未采取行动。

When two structure fires broke out in Kirkland Lake on the night of March 2, volunteer firefighter Shawn Wong was called into action like never before.

3月2日晚上在柯克兰湖（Kirkland Lake）爆发了两起结构的火灾时，志愿消防员肖恩·王（Shawn Wong）被召集到以前从未采取行动。

Just minutes after arriving at the second scene, he and fellow firefighter Jason Murdy helped pull a woman from a smoke-filled apartment on Government Road East. It was one of the most intense moments of 24-year-old Wong’s young firefighting career.

到达第二场比赛仅几分钟后，他和消防员杰森·默迪（Jason Murdy）帮助将一名妇女从政府路东部的一个充满烟雾的公寓中拉出来。这是24岁的Wong年轻消防职业中最激烈的时刻之一。

“I walked in, and you couldn’t even see the stairs, couldn’t see a foot in front of you,” Wong told TimminsToday.

Wong告诉Timminstoday：“我走进去，您甚至看不到楼梯，看不到一只脚。”

“So we changed our approach and went in the back. We saw that she was out the window, and we quickly transitioned into a ladder extraction.”

“因此，我们改变了进场，然后走进了后面。我们看到她在窗外，我们迅速过渡到了梯子提取。”

With help from police officers, they guided her safely down a ladder. She was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

在警察的帮助下，他们将她安全地引导下一个梯子。她被送往医院，受到无生命的伤害。

Now in his second year with the Kirkland Lake Volunteer Fire Brigade (KLVFB), Wong doesn’t see himself as a hero.

现在，在柯克兰湖志愿者消防队（KLVFB）的第二年，黄并没有将自己视为英雄。

“It was one of my first big fires and the first time really entering a building,” he said.

他说：“这是我第一次大火之一，也是第一次真正进入建筑物。”

“But at the end of the day, we’re all trained to do that. I was just in the right place at the right time. Anybody in our department could’ve done it.”

“但是归根结底，我们都接受了训练。我只是在正确的时间在正确的位置。我们部门的任何人都可以这样做。”

Originally from New Liskeard, Wong now lives in Kirkland Lake with his girlfriend while she finishes school. He works remotely as a data analyst for Health Sciences North in Sudbury.

Wong最初来自New Liskeard，现在与女友一起上学时，现在与女友一起住在Kirkland湖。他是萨德伯里北部健康科学家的数据分析师的远程工作。

Volunteering as a firefighter is something he’s always wanted to do.

他一直想做的是作为消防员的志愿服务。

“In New Liskeard, the department’s full. There’s a waitlist to get in,” he said. “Here, there are still open spots. I also volunteer with the Kenogami fire department.”

他说：“在新的liskeard中，该部门已经满了。有一个候补名单可以进入。” “在这里，仍然有开放的景点。我还在Kenogami消防局志愿服务。”

The opportunity to contribute to the community drew him to firefighting.

为社区做出贡献的机会吸引了他进行消防。

“Especially in smaller towns, everyone takes care of each other,” he said.

他说：“尤其是在较小的城镇，每个人都互相照顾。”

“I think it’s super important that there are volunteers who step up. It’s extremely rewarding not just for me, but for the community.”

“我认为有些志愿者加紧努力是非常重要的。这不仅对我，而且对社区来说都是非常有益的。”

That sense of teamwork is something he returns to often. Even after being recognized by the town and receiving a certificate of heroism from KLVFB, Wong is quick to deflect the spotlight.

这种团队合作感是他经常返回的。即使在受到KLVFB的英雄主义证书的认可之后，Wong也很快就偏离了人们的关注。

“I just really want to stress that it wasn’t just me,” he said.

他说：“我真的很想强调，这不仅仅是我。”

“It was the entire department. The training we get, how we respond as a team, that’s what saved her. Not just me.”

“这是整个部门。我们得到的培训，我们作为一个团队的反应，这就是拯救她的原因。不仅是我。”

Kirkland Lake Mayor Stacy Wight said the town is proud of Wong and Murdy’s actions.

柯克兰湖市长史黛西·怀特（Stacy Wight）说，该镇为Wong和Murdy的行动感到自豪。

“Our fire women and men are a steadfast team of professionals, invested in the health and safety of our community,” she told TimminsToday.

她告诉Timminstoday：“我们的消防员和男子是一支坚定不移的专业人士，投资了我们社区的健康和安全。”

“Seeing this recognition is but a small token of appreciation for the outstanding job they do.”

“看到这种认可只是对他们所做的杰出工作的一小笔记。”

On April 17, police charged a 37-year-old woman with arson in connection to the fires.

4月17日，警方指控一名37岁的妇女与火灾有关。

For Wong, firefighting isn’t about awards or headlines, it’s about being ready when someone needs help.

对于Wong来说，消防不是关于奖项或头条新闻，这是关于当有人需要帮助时做好准备。

“It’s not for everybody. It’s a big time commitment, and you’re risking your life,” he said.

他说：“这不是每个人。

“But the friends you make, basically a family, and the chance to help people when they need it most? It’s worth it.”

“但是您结交的朋友，基本上是一个家庭，也有机会在人们需要时帮助他们吗？这是值得的。”
