  Chinanews.com Jinzhong, September 18th telegram: "Flame Blue" Niu Xuqiong: When the wind comes, it is better to go after the wind

  China News Service reporter Lu Qiguo

  "Mom, when are you coming back? I want to have dinner with you." On a rare weekend, it was already dark, and Niu Xuqiong, who was still on duty, received a call from her child.

  Niu Xuqiong, leader of the fire rescue team of Jinzhong Development Zone, Shanxi Transformation and Comprehensive Reform Demonstration Zone, is one of the only two female fire investigation experts in Shanxi Province.

For 13 years, her work has been "bonded" with fire: fire prevention and control, fire fighting and rescue, and fire investigation.

  Behind more than 800 "conversations" with fire

  Fire investigation is a highly professional and technical job, requiring fire investigators to be dedicated, professional, hard-working, patient, and meticulous.

  "I wasn't influenced by anyone, I just wanted to challenge myself, and I chose this major after graduating from high school." In 2002, Niu Xuqiong was admitted to the former Chinese People's Armed Police Force Academy, majoring in fire investigation.

A solemn oath, always strive to practice.

  After graduating with a master's degree in June 2009, Niu Xuqiong became one of the few female fire investigators in the fire protection system in Shanxi Province.

So far, she has "conversed" with fire more than 800 times.

  In 2014, a fire broke out in a cultural relic and ancient building in Jinzhong City.

At that time, Niu Xuqiong's child was still breastfeeding.

In the middle of the night, in her sleep, she received an order to dispatch and immediately handed over the child to her lover and rushed to the fire.

  When he went out, Niu Xuqiong woke the child up even though Niu Xuqiong was light-handed.

When the door lock closed with a "click", the child's cry could be heard clearly through the door panel.

  That night, Niu Xuqiong's lover paced the floor with the child in her arms all night.

The child was tired from crying, fell asleep, and started crying again when he woke up.

When Niu Xuqiong took time to call, the first sound that came from the receiver was the cry of a child.

  In April 2015, a fire broke out in a high-rise building in Lingshi County. Niu Xuqiong rushed to the fire scene more than 100 kilometers away to conduct an investigation.

  At that time, Niu Xuqiong's son was less than 2 years old.

During the half-month fire investigation, she worked more than ten hours a day.

When she returned to the station and picked up the phone, the child had already fallen asleep, and she could only watch the sleeping child through video.

  Up to now, Niu Xuqiong has organized, participated in, and directed the investigation of more than 800 fires of various types. No administrative reconsideration or administrative lawsuit has occurred in the fires she organized and investigated.

Due to her solid professional skills, in 2020, she was selected as a member of the Shanxi Fire Investigation Expert Group.

  "It's not difficult for anyone. Since I have chosen this career, let alone a job I like, I must work hard to overcome the difficulties." Niu Xuqiong knows her responsibilities as a fire investigator, and she must search for it as quickly as possible. Fire truth.

  Carrying the safety burden of hundreds of thousands of university teachers and students

  The Shanxi University New District, located in the north of Jinzhong City, currently has 10 colleges and universities, with a total of more than 100,000 teachers and students.

In such a densely populated area, the importance of fire prevention and control is self-evident.

  In 2020, Niu Xuqiong served as the head of the Jinzhong City Fire Rescue Detachment University Town Industrial Park Brigade.

"Double random" random inspections, school-by-school assistance and guidance, supervision and rectification of hidden dangers one by one, and continuous warning and notification... Niu Xuqiong coordinated 10 colleges and universities to include "discussion and elimination" in the party committee's decision-making content.

At the same time, special training was organized to improve the fire safety awareness and skills of teachers and students in colleges and universities.

Inspect and train.

While eliminating hidden dangers through inspection, it is also necessary to enhance the safety awareness of the person in charge of the unit.

  In 2020, relying on the "House of Love" of Taiyuan University of Technology, the "Fire Fighting Association" of Jinzhong College, and the "emergency detachment" of retired college students from Jinzhong Normal College, the brigade will fully mobilize college student volunteers to participate in firefighting work, and steadily improve the ability of colleges and universities to fight fire .

  In addition to being the safety guardian of more than 100,000 university teachers and students, Niu Xuqiong will also lead a team of more than 70 cadres, contract firefighters and civilian staff.

In order to prevent safety accidents to the greatest extent, every time she encounters a major police situation, she either puts on a combat suit or a rescue suit to accompany her to fight.

  In May 2022, a fly ash warehouse collapsed in Yuci District, Jinzhong City, causing people to be buried.

As a reinforcement, Niu Xuqiong led the firefighters to the scene of the incident.

  On the same day, the wind at the rescue site once reached level 7.

In the dusty sky, Niu Xuqiong, as the only female commander at the scene, has been sticking to the scene.

  "It is very important to lead a team and lead by example." Niu Xuqiong said that in the event of a major police situation, the commander must charge ahead.

"Do this, and firefighters will have a different level of psychological approval for you."

  Implement "optimizing the business environment"

  In 2022, Niu Xuqiong will serve as the leader of the fire rescue brigade of Jinzhong Development Zone, Shanxi's transformation and comprehensive reform demonstration zone. How to further optimize the business environment and escort the safe development of enterprises has become one of her main tasks.

  "The enterprise service window is being established, and we will serve the enterprises in our jurisdiction while performing our supervisory duties." In August, at a meeting of the fire safety leaders of high-rise buildings in the jurisdiction, Niu Xuqiong, on behalf of the brigade, publicly promised to provide you with free, on-site technical assistance at any time. Support guidance services.

  In the daily supervision and inspection, Niu Xuqiong adheres to the principle of "training while inspection".

"As fire supervisors, we must clarify the hazards of fire hazards and let the person in charge of the company know the necessity of rectifying hidden dangers."

  For the rectification of fire hazards, Niu Xuqiong requires fire supervision personnel to provide at least two or more feasible solutions for enterprises to choose according to their own actual conditions.

For example, some corporate kitchens and dining areas are not separated by fire, which could lead to serious consequences in the event of a fire.

For the rectification of such hidden dangers, enterprises can either use pure electric cookers or separate the hot area from the dining area.

  "Rather than waiting for the wind to come, it's better to chase the wind." Niu Xuqiong, who focuses on taking the initiative in his work, likes this sentence very much.
