The professionalization of firefighters is imperative!

Today read Zhou Bowen's blog post, suggesting that the professionalization of fire, very emotional! In particular, a fire broke out in a warehouse in Shanghai on February 4 this year. Two firefighters were killed, one of whom was born in November 1995. I was very sad when I was younger than my son who was in college. Everyone has a parent and everyone has to be a parent. Now that the family is mostly one-child, it is not only a hero who loses it, but also a sustenance and happiness for the family! The hero's firefighter is always worthy of our respect! How to reduce unnecessary sacrifices requires consideration and design at the institutional level!

Seeing many accident fire scenes there are many heroic firefighters sacrificed! Sacrifice for their sacrifice! Our society needs heroes. Our time needs dedication! But we need a complete family! Fathers and mothers need sons to help them with their old age!

To reduce the misconduct of officers and soldiers and call for the professionalization of fire protection Zhou Pengan

At 14 o'clock on May 2, on the 2nd, a high-rise residential building in Xuhui District, Shanghai was in an emergency fire. Two 90-year-old firefighters fell from the 13th floor and were sacrificed after receiving medical treatment. Another firefighter was slightly burned. There were no casualties in the fire. Two firefighters belonging to the Hong Kong Squadron of Shanghai Xuhui Fire Brigade were born in 1991 and 1994, respectively.

Deeply deplored! The two live lives disappeared. The soldier who was born in 1994 may not be 20 years old. For children in the city, it is still the age of being spoiled. It is so ridiculous. In fact, in peacetime, the most dangerous job is probably fire, and every time they go out to the police, they will be able to sacrifice their lives whenever and wherever they are. Our society should respect them more.

Similar tragedies continue to happen. On February 4 this year, a fire broke out in a warehouse in Shanghai. Two firefighters were killed. One of them was born in November 1995.

We mourn these paramilitary armed police fighters, but we should reflect on whether these sacrifices are inevitable or not. Does our work still have areas for improvement, and can we avoid the firefighters' sacrifices as much as possible?

According to the official microblog of the Shanghai Municipal Fire Bureau, the two firefighters were affected by the flash fire and the hot gas surge. They fell from the 13th floor and were sent to the hospital for invalid treatment.

However, we should reflect on the fact that firefighters are "impacted by the fire of bombardment and hot gas surges" at the fire scene, which is unavoidable. So, have we fully prepared firefighters' protective measures beforehand? Such as necessary safety ropes, escape belts and other items.

A netizen commented that when we were on the security course, we read the fire video. When the relatively sealed room was depleted due to continuous combustion of oxygen, it would be full of smoke but no open flame. At this time, the temperature was the highest. In the air, there will be violent riots. Therefore, after the firefighters in Hong Kong open their doors and windows, they will only hide behind the door and shoot water to cool down. They will enter after violent storms occur.

One problem that cannot be ignored even more is that these firefighters are newcomers who have been exposed to fire for a short period of time and lack self-protection experience. It is easy for everyone to understand that what firefighters need most when they crash into the sea of ​​fire is not courage, but wisdom. It is the wisdom brought by experience.

One netizen commented that it was only a recruit who had been watching for more than a year. I used to be a firefighter before, and I know well the problems of the frontline fire officers. First, less full-time skills training, physical fitness assessment, casually recite some points of the fire, practice simulation almost no. Second, safety awareness training is almost nonexistent and is often covered by so-called sacrificialism. When I saw the two hands drop, I wanted to say how scared they were, how inconvenient they were to break in, and even if they had no sense of self-protection, how about saving people. The firefighters spent two years in compulsory service, and the basics were not properly retired. 90% of them did not even come into contact with a dangerous fire. To say that they were lucky, the two comrades were a disaster. Perhaps more NCOs have been retained now, and the foundations are better. However, these veterans have several experienced ones. Except for training, there is an advantage in competitive number competition, and actual combat is still a problem. The fire brigade will have to restructure, otherwise it will happen, and professionalism is the trend.

In fact, in addition to the problems pointed out by the former firefighter, the current fire protection system has the following drawbacks: First, during the retirement of conscripts at the end of each year, the fire fighting force is the weakest. However, it is the period of frequent fires and the contradictions are extremely prominent. The second is that each year when the cadres change jobs, they will bring about a decline in combat effectiveness for some time. Third, the fire officers and soldiers have the problem of secondary employment, and they are often unable to feel the peace of mind. Fourth, the treatment is not in place, affecting the enthusiasm of fire officers and soldiers: On the one hand, the most dangerous fire officers and soldiers are treated the same as other military officers. It is extremely irrational; on the other hand, the unit level of the fire brigade is low, and there is limited space for cadres to be promoted.

It is understood that in some Western developed countries, firefighters are professionally employed and Hong Kong firefighters are also professional. The obvious advantage of professionalization is the relative stability of the personnel. On the one hand, it contributes to the improvement of the quality of firefighters themselves: one is to continuously deepen learning and training; the other is to accumulate experience through long-term actual combat and work. On the other hand, after the implementation of the professional system, the vast majority of firefighters can work to retire, so there is no worries, will be at ease with business, ease training, in order to improve the quality of their own business.

In addition, after the implementation of the professional firefighting system, the fire brigade should be decoupled from the troops, directly led by the local public security agencies, can achieve the localization of firefighters, to avoid the lack of personnel caused by taking a vacation to find out about the lack of staff, has very obvious The role.

In view of this, in order to reduce the misconduct of soldiers, the author calls for the professionalization of firefighting as soon as possible.
