Shi Chengxiang and Shi Chenxiang, who were born in Luoyang, Henan in 2001, are twin brothers.
His elder brother Shi Chengxiang still remembers the first time he saw the local firefighters driving an assault boat for water training—“feeling so handsome”.
In order to fulfill their childhood dreams, the two who have been inseparable since childhood, joined the new firefighters in Henan in December last year.
The Longyan Forest Fire Fighting Detachment is a young team that grew up in the Red Holy Land, inherited the red gene, and has the blood of the Red Army.
Since the transition, the detachment has focused on "all disasters, major emergency", aimed at the transformation and upgrading of the team, improving quality and strength, and promoting the improvement of the detachment's combat effectiveness. It has completed more than 220 fire fighting missions, 48 comprehensive rescue missions, and dispatched 11,477 people for protection. The safety of the people's lives and property and the forest resources in the area play a role.

In June this year, the two brothers were assigned to the Zhangzhou Brigade of the Forest Fire Detachment in Longyan, Fujian, more than 1,400 kilometers away from Henan. The freshness of joining as a firefighter is after a series of trainings in physical fitness, skills, safety, business theory, and combat example teaching. , Gradually wear off, replaced by a deep respect for the post of forest firefighting.
“In the rescue photos of the urban flooding, the water reaches the chest, and the rescuers are walking in the water and pushing the people. They are very touched.” Shi Chengxiang told reporters that when he and his brother learned the story of the first-line rescue from their comrades, both Admired and moved, "I didn't have any idea about'serving the people' before, but I understood this sentence after coming here."

After more than three months of firefighting life, the two brothers gradually lost their childishness in the intensive training.
In their free time, the two brothers learn from each other and teach each other experience in order to better strengthen their professional skills.
Although the two are looking forward to becoming independent forest firefighters as soon as possible, they will not be able to complete the transition from local youth to qualified firefighters until early next year and formally enter the fire scene.
Some time ago, the heavy rains and floods in Henan affected people's hearts.
The two brothers felt "sour" in their hearts.
"We have been here for a relatively short period of time. It would be great if we could participate in the rescue and contribute a lot." Shi Chengxiang said regretfully.
"It is glorious to go out to rescue and serve the people. The hard training is to wait for that day." Shi Chenxiang looks forward to his own meager contribution to fire rescue in the coming year.
