There were some big wildfires in Chongqing last summer. Although they were dangerous, we still saw many good people help in the big fires. Francis Stonier, a 43-year-old foreign teacher from Southwest University, was one of them.

The summer was very hot in Chongqing. One Sunday night, a forest fire broke out (爆发) and started to spread (扩散). The local government (当地政府) called for volunteers with special skills and experience to join in the firefighting.

Francis heard the news and decided to help. He said he had volunteered many times in Virginia, USA in the past. For example, he helped build houses for homeless people after big storms. He wanted to do something this time. So Francis signed up to fight fires. His work was to make sure the chainsaws (链) that would be used to create (创建) fire barriers (防火屏隆) worked well. During two hours of work, Francis group checked about 50 chainsaws and gave them to fire fighters. “Francis did a really good job. He checked each chainsaw carefully.” said He Wu, a 50-year-old teacher from Francis’ university. He was also one of the volunteers and a translator (翻译家) as well.

Thanks to people like Francis, the fire died out very soon. “Chongqing is my home. I really enjoy my life here.” Francis said, “The people here are very friendly. I’m planning to live here for along time, possibly even retire (退休) here.”
