China News Agency, Beijing, January 6 (Reporter Guo Chaokai) China's National Fire and Rescue Bureau was officially established on the 6th.
The debut of this institution, which is an integration of the Fire Rescue Bureau and the Forest Fire Bureau of the Ministry of Emergency Management, marks the beginning of a new era for China's fire protection work and fire brigade construction.
On the same day, the relevant personnel appointments published on the website of the Ministry of Social Affairs of China showed that Wang Xiangxi was appointed as the first political commissar of the National Fire and Rescue Bureau, Qiong Se was the director of the National Fire and Rescue Bureau, and Xu Ping was appointed as the political commissar of the National Fire and Rescue Bureau.
Regarding the merger of the two bureaus into one, Bai Ye, a professor at the China Fire and Rescue College, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency that the merger of the Fire and Rescue Bureau and the Forest Fire Bureau into the National Fire and Rescue Bureau is a milestone for the two teams after they collectively changed jobs.
After the merger of the two bureaus, it is convenient for unified management, unified command, and unified coordinated support, which is conducive to the further development of the fire rescue team.
Since the founding of New China, the management system and institutional settings of the fire brigade have undergone several changes.
In October 2018, the Public Security Fire Brigade and the Armed Police Forest Brigade retired from active service, and were transferred to the Emergency Management Department to form a national comprehensive fire rescue team.
Among them, the management agency of the public security firefighting force was changed to the Fire Rescue Bureau of the Ministry of Emergency Management, and the management agency of the Armed Police Forest Force was changed to the Forest Fire Bureau of the Ministry of Emergency Management.
In October last year, the Ministry of Emergency Management held a press conference to introduce the construction and development achievements of the national comprehensive fire rescue team in the past four years.
Statistics show that in the past four years since the establishment of the national comprehensive fire rescue team, a total of more than 6.22 million calls have been made to the police, and more than 2.39 million people in distress have been rescued and evacuated. "Extreme torrential rain, forest fires in Chongqing, Sichuan Luding earthquake of magnitude 6.8 and other major emergency rescue missions.
In fact, the combination of the two bureaus has been planned for a long time.
The "14th Five-Year Plan" National Emergency System Plan clearly states that the fire rescue team and the forest firefighting team will be integrated into a standardized, professional and professional national comprehensive fire rescue team, and strict discipline and strict organization will be implemented. Construction and management in accordance with quasi-active duty and quasi-military standards, improve the leadership system of unified leadership and hierarchical command, establish a unified leadership and command organization, establish a command mechanism that combines the central and local hierarchical command with professional team command, accelerate the construction of a modern command system, and establish A simultaneous optimization mechanism for team establishment and staffing that is compatible with economic and social development.
The National Emergency Management Work Conference held in Beijing on January 5 called for strengthening the national comprehensive fire rescue team and regional emergency response forces, solidly promoting the integration and reform of fire rescue teams, and accelerating the construction of regional emergency rescue centers.
Previously, the Fire and Rescue Bureau and the Forest Fire Bureau had a relatively clear division of labor. The Fire and Rescue Bureau was mainly responsible for urban firefighting and emergency rescue, and the Forest Fire Bureau was mainly responsible for forest and grassland fire prevention and extinguishing. However, in reality, there are many cases of cooperation between the two bureaus.
Bai Ye said that the National Fire and Rescue Bureau was established today, the fire brigade has grown stronger in the process of reform and exploration, and the fire service industry is advancing in the process of reform and innovation.
After the merger of the two bureaus, they can also achieve complementary advantages.
It turns out that "fighting house fire" means "fighting house fire", and "fighting wild fire" means "fighting wild fire".
After the merger of the two bureaus, when dealing with urban firefighting, the forest firefighting team that was originally responsible for "fighting wildfires" can be supplemented as a reserve force; when dealing with forest and grassland fires, the firefighting and rescue teams that were originally responsible for "fighting home fires" can also provide logistical support .
In this way, the role of "1+1>2" can be fully demonstrated.
