A team of heroic firemen risked their lives to carry a flaming gas cylinder out of a building in eastern China.

The video, shot in the city of Zibo in Shandong Province on March 1, shows a fireman carrying a burning gas cylinder out of a fifth-floor kitchen while another fireman used a water hose to cool it down.

According to reports, hot oil splashed onto the gas pipe on the cylinder when the resident was cooking in the kitchen.

The valve of the gas cylinder was burnt and caused the flames to spray out.

The resident put a wet cloth on the damaged valve but it did not work well. So the firefighters moved the gas cylinder out of the building to avoid an explosion.

The firefighters then extinguished the fire on the street.

3月1日晚上六点左右，在山东淄博临淄区一个小区，一户居民厨房内发生火灾，起火的是一个刚刚充满气的液化气罐。
消防员到达现场时，6楼厨房内火势正猛。消防员立即铺设水带，准备扑救。
进入厨房后，消防员看到，一个液化气罐正在猛烈燃烧。

消防员：再来一支水枪，到下面掩护我，我拿下去，下面再出一支枪。阀门能关上吗？关不上，关不上，下面再出一支枪。

据了解，当时居民在做饭时，热油溅到液化气罐软管上，不慎引燃。随后烧坏了液化气阀门，引发喷射状火焰。居民尝试用湿布覆盖，但是收效不大。由于液化气罐阀门被烧毁，消防员立即组织对燃烧气罐进行转移，在转移过程中气罐燃烧猛烈，为防止气罐温度过高发生爆炸，一名消防员对气罐进行打水降温，另一名消防员拎起气罐向楼下转移。尽管带着专业手套，转移中途，消防员还是需要不停换手，才能避免高温烫伤。最终，液化气罐从6楼安全转移至1楼空旷地带。

由于阀门无法关闭，消防员对液化气罐持续采取物理冷却降温。
消防员：先别打灭火，水枪打罐底。
大约8分钟左右，气罐的压力下降，消防员开始射水灭火。很快，现场明火被完全扑灭。（视频由淄博台提供）
