A statement about fire protection reform

"Firefighting" means elimination and prevention (that is, the general term for preventing and solving man-made, natural, and accidental disasters that people encounter in their lives, work, and studies. Of course, the narrow meaning in the early days of people's understanding is: The meaning of (fighting) fire. Fire protection in the modern sense can be understood in a deeper way as eliminating dangers and preventing disasters. What I have prepared for you today is the latest statement on fire protection reform. The specific content is as follows. It is for reference only. I hope it can help. Everyone!

The latest news on the reform of the fire brigade: to resolve conflicts through reform, we will vigorously develop various forms of fire brigade

Recently, the Hubei Fire Brigade held a meeting in Enshi The on-site meeting will promote various forms of firefighting team construction and duty model reform experience. At the same time, Hubei's active firefighting police force is seriously insufficient. 48 of the 152 fire stations are not at full capacity, and nearly 20 new stations are basically without troops. , there is a shortage of nearly 3,000 people. To this end, Hubei will intensify the reform of firefighting duty models and vigorously develop various forms of firefighting team construction, in order to effectively alleviate the shortage of firefighting police and rescue problems.

Fire brigades will be built in all key towns in 2015

Last September, the Provincial Public Security Department held an on-site meeting in Enshi and proposed that within the next three years, the province will vigorously develop various forms of fire brigades. By the end of 2015, all key towns and key enterprises in the province will establish full-time fire brigades.

The relevant person in charge of the Provincial Fire Brigade pointed out that the "various forms" mentioned at the meeting will be based on active duty forces. With the main force, full-time personnel as the supplement, and the volunteer force as the supplement, this meeting is not only a turning point in the fire protection construction of our province, but also will become a flashpoint for the non-active full-time firefighting team in the future. ?

Based on the mission needs. It seems that with the rapid economic development, the task of fire prevention and control has become more arduous. Jiang Deyou, chief of staff of the Provincial Fire Brigade, told reporters that firefighting forces are seriously insufficient in rural areas, and nearly 500 towns in the province are still in a firefighting vacuum.

In recent years, rural firefighting problems have become prominent. There are many elderly people and children left behind, and fire safety awareness is weak. In the event of a fire, the ability to self-rescue is very weak? At least in terms of firefighting construction, urban and rural areas have not achieved coordinated development. ?A fire official said

Firefighters are shifting from military service to professionalism

The first practical problem facing the expansion of firefighting is: At present, There are only 3,400 active frontline police officers in the province, and 48 of the 152 fire stations are not at full capacity, with a shortage of nearly 3,000 people. In the next two years, there will be a shortage of more than 1,500 people at the grassroots level.

The Provincial Fire Brigade plans to recruit full-time government firefighters to bring the province's 80 active public security fire squadrons to full strength by the end of this year.

This means that by the end of 2016, our province will have full capacity. 4,500 new contract firefighters will be recruited. By then, the number of contract firefighters will exceed the number of active fire police.

With the large-scale expansion of full-time fire stations, more and more contract firefighters have gradually become the main force in rescue, which has brought new challenges to safety and rescue. ?It is difficult to say that the personal skills of firefighters and the command and combat level of firefighting teams can adapt to the current economic and social development. ?The relevant person in charge of the Provincial Fire Brigade said.

Especially in recent years, the increasing casualty rate of firefighters is attracting public attention.

Protecting the professional rights and interests of contract firefighters has been put on the government’s agenda

Contract firefighters have entered the public eye for the first time , or at the end of March last year. At that time, the Fire Department of the Ministry of Public Security forwarded a photo on the Weibo account @中国火狐 on the Internet: a firefighter rushed out of the fire scene holding a gas tank that sprayed fire from the valve.

Soon, ?@中国火狐? posted on Weibo again: ?Brother Baohuo? has been found. His name is Huangfu Jiangwu, 26 years old, and he is a contract firefighter of the Xudong Road Squadron of the Wuhan Fire Detachment.

In Wuhan, there are 230 contract firefighters like "Brother Baohuo". In 2008, the city recruited 36 contract firefighters for the first time; in 2014, the number of recruits increased sharply, with 150 people recruited in total. It is reported that this year’s recruitment volume is four times that of last year. Behind this is the serious shortage of urban fire police: As a megacity with a population of over 10 million, Wuhan has only more than 1,000 front-line firefighters, a gap of more than 75%. ?Currently, the Wuhan Fire Brigade has 13 contract fire squadrons and 1 duty station, the vast majority of which are mixed active-duty and contract fire brigades from the public security system. Gao Feng, chief of the full-time fire department of the Wuhan Fire Detachment, told reporters.

However, the detachment’s research report shows that among the 150 contract firefighters recruited in 2014, 53 have resigned due to various reasons, of which 23 were due to low wages, benefits and lack of rest time. , found a better job?.

What is somewhat gratifying is that protecting the professional rights and interests of contract firefighters has been put on the government’s agenda. Last year, Wuhan allocated 16 million yuan for the construction of a contract firefighter team, more than five times the amount in 2008. In the past, contract firefighters had low remuneration, heavy tasks, and serious staff turnover. When they were first recruited, their monthly salary was only about 1,000 yuan; now, the starting salary is 2,600 yuan, and five insurances and one housing fund are guaranteed. The problem of "identity discrimination" among contract firefighters has also been partially resolved.

How to carry out professional reform in the firefighting force

China’s firefighting system has been implemented for decades. To achieve professional transformation, it is not It can be accomplished overnight. A more feasible approach is to explore a path to restructuring in a step-by-step manner based on my country's actual conditions.

At present, some areas have gradually implemented professionalization and introduced firefighters in various establishments, with good results. Practice has proved that introducing contract fire fighters and adjusting the staffing is the right direction for restructuring.

?

One of the professional measures: vigorously develop contract fire fighters

Firefighting work is a highly social job. Take fire extinguishing as an example, it is just It is not enough to rely on the armed police and fire brigade. We must mobilize the power of the whole society, organize various forms of fire brigade, and form a force to fight against fire at all levels of society. Only in this way can we control the situation of continuous fires and ensure the smooth progress of economic construction. conduct.

Professionalization can ensure the long-term, stability and quality of fire fighters and has multiple advantages.

?

The second professional measure: establishing a professional firefighting system

The professional firefighting system can retain the backbone of the firefighting business to the greatest extent and is conducive to firefighting law enforcement. Stability and impartiality. The occupational firefighting system can only focus on current firefighting supervision and law enforcement. Firefighting squadrons engaged in fire-fighting and rescue missions can implement active duty or social employment systems as needed, which is conducive to the rejuvenation of the team and maintains its strong combat effectiveness and rapid response capabilities. At the same time, promoting the professional firefighting system and separating it from the current role of public security is also one of the effective means to clarify the responsibilities of public security and firefighting and change the current insufficient police force. This is also a major trend in line with international standards.

Opinions on the reform of fire protection through the Internet (personal thoughts and relevant opinions of netizens):

About the fire protection through the Internet Reform may seem perfect, but in fact it is more like the figment of a group of people's imagination. There is no solution that can actually solve the problem. It is just a group of idle people talking in layman's terms

1. Firefighting The institutional problems stem from the integrated system of fire prevention and fire prevention. Firefighters must both supervise law enforcement and participate in fire fighting and rescue. There will inevitably be a shortage of troops. Leading cadres must not only focus on training, supervise fire fighting and rescue, but also participate in law enforcement, which will inevitably lead to energy shortage. Dispersion, especially among grassroots cadres. If this problem is not solved, professionalism will remain unchanged. There will definitely be more people who want to supervise fire prevention than fire fighting and rescue. This is not surprising. From a business perspective, supervision and law enforcement are the same as fire fighting and rescue. They are two different fields. Supervision and law enforcement itself is the job of the police and has nothing to do with fire rescue. There are some similarities in theory, but they are by no means the same. No matter how different the fire prevention and fire protection departments are, it will be in vain

2. Collective transfer to police. Firefighting and police are two completely different positions. No country in the world uses the same system for firefighting and police. It is the same in China. Although it is called public security firefighting, it is not the same. Law enforcement is only carried out in the name of public security. Internally it is a completely different system from the police. The collective transfer to the police is not progress but regression. Firefighting and police are mixed into one. Only Chinese netizens think so

3. Various places It is a matter of strength. The economic base determines the superstructure. There is no country with professional firefighting like China. There is a big gap between the east and the west. The firefighting equipment on the east coast is the same as that in Europe and the United States. The west is insufficient in both personnel and equipment, and the tasks in the west are quite different. There are many more fire trucks than in the east, but there are insufficient equipment and personnel. Most fire trucks in the east are imported, while some cities in the west have to use loans from foreign governments to buy high-performance fire trucks, and the number is limited and there is little special equipment. I remember that when there was an earthquake in Yingjiang, Yunnan, my city was also in the western region. There were only four sets of life detectors in one city, but three sets were transferred to the Yingjiang disaster area. When the Wenchuan earthquake happened, the fire brigade from all over the country reinforced Wenchuan. Foreign professionals Modern firefighting forces have never seen such large-scale cross-regional reinforcements, and the various environments faced by China are much more severe than those abroad. However, our rescue capabilities are very different. The difference in hard power alone is at least 20

4. Regarding the pilot issue of online transmission, the country’s real professional pilot was only piloted in Shenzhen, but the effect was not good at all and could not meet the expected requirements. Shenzhen has been re-established in 2009. Active fire officers and soldiers are stationed. Ningxia’s pilot is a pilot for the professionalization of social fire fighters. It has nothing to do with the fire brigade. It only requires those engaged in fire protection to have relevant professional skills training and pass assessments. The pilot will only be in economically developed areas ( Special Zone), and it will take more than several years of piloting, but Shenzhen has used it for 24 years to prove that it failed. Now the pilot is also conducted among full-time firefighters. It is understandable that the government’s full-time fire brigade itself should be professionalized

5. Regarding temporary workers, firefighting is only managed by the armed police system. All tasks are centered around fire fighting and rescue. The main task is this, rather than temporary workers. Since the task is like this, temporary workers It is a disrespect for this work in itself

6. The reform of the fire protection system must be done from three aspects: the development and update of equipment and technology, the update of fire protection theory, and the transformation of education and training. Only this The completion of the three major systems will determine which system will be adopted.

The current situation is that high-performance fire protection equipment is almost imported; there are almost no fire protection theories suitable for China's national conditions; the education problem is even worse. There are only three vocational schools for fire protection systems, and there are almost no majors in fire protection in local universities. It is impossible for the current education system to provide talent protection after professionalization, and the same is true for training. There are still a few areas that can afford to build comprehensive rescue bases. In addition to some of the six mainland search bases of the fire protection system, a large number of comprehensive rescue centers have been established. Some of them are on the coast. There is a lack of such bases in the central and western regions. The problem of insufficient experience of firefighting officers and soldiers can be completely solved through comprehensive or individual training bases. Since the area of ??fire stations in various places is relatively small, training can only be based on physical fitness and Some theories are mainly used, and many firefighting equipment training cannot be carried out. Simply relying on veterans to enter the fire scene to rescue will definitely not be enough. Only through necessary base training and treating training as actual combat can we achieve good results. We must often encounter The tasks are moved to the training ground for training, especially the actual combat training of new recruits. This not only reduces the training cycle of new recruits, but also allows them to accumulate experience. Only strict daily training can ensure that nothing goes wrong at critical moments. Those who can think of these can do it. These are still a minority. No matter what kind of reforms are mentioned on the Internet, I have not seen any of them
