Why should firefighters be professionalized?

The professionalization of firefighters is an urgent problem to be solved in the development of firefighting. After all, the weather is now causing natural disasters.

Man-made disasters are becoming more and more severe. In the face of these disasters, it is necessary to have professional firefighters to truly face and deal with these disasters, so that the disaster people and property can cause minimal losses. Sometimes it's not necessarily the end of the process.

It's about getting things done before they can end. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the professionalization of firefighters.

With the acceleration of China's modernization process, the fire brigade is facing more and more complex natural disasters and fire environments, and the phenomenon of firefighters dying in the line of duty is also increasing. According to the statistics of the Fire Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, from 2005 to 2013, a total of 70 firefighter accidents occurred in the fire fighting and rescue of the fire brigade, resulting in 85 deaths and 163 injuries. Therefore, in order to avoid firefighters, whether from society or institutions, call for strengthening the skills training of firefighters, pay attention to their treatment needs, and the professionalization of firefighting has increasingly become a consensus.

After the professionalization of firefighters, firefighters will inevitably be required to improve their professional skills and enhance the entry threshold and competitiveness of the firefighter profession.

First of all, the contract firefighter refers to the current problem of insufficient fire police, in order to strengthen the front-line fire fighting force of the fire brigade, the recruited youth or college students, supported by the local government, under the dual leadership of the emergency management bureau and the fire brigade, the business and work are mainly under the direct command of the fire brigade, and the function of the full-time firefighter is similar, some full-time firefighters, contract firefighters do not have military uniforms, but there is a national uniform clothing, and the salary is paid by the local finance.

Again, the current contract firefighter salary is higher than that of clerks, but the risk index is high, there is a low salary, no preparation, contract firefighters may gradually develop to professionalism in the future, no longer as before is a "flowing soldier", is expected to be a profession to the end, no matter how it develops, the future is one thing, the salary of firefighters will only be high or low, will not be lower than the existing level, at present, with the overall retirement of firefighting, I believe that the country will seriously consider the status and treatment of contract firefighters, Give the space and ways to promote and change, motivate the team to develop professionally, and encourage aspiring young people to join the fire brigade.

Because the current firefighters are generally retired in two years. And just skilled in the firefighting business was retired. So after professionalization. Firefighters can be engaged in firefighting tasks for a long time. Gain experience. will be more professional.

The professionalization of firefighters means that firefighters are treated as a job and recruited from society. The advantage of this is that firefighters do not have to think about retirement, which can increase the working life of firefighters and accumulate more experience to deal with risks.

The job of a firefighter is very broad, and the fire alone requires a lot of knowledge, you have to be able to analyze the building structure, know the necessary chemicals, know the electrical knowledge, know the first aid. After learning all these things and mastering them proficiently, you can't do it in three or five years.

Professionalism as a firefighter is an inevitable trend, but how much does it cost to pay a commission for this kind of dangerous work? Where will this money come from, and will the people affected by the disaster bear it? And how to pay for the death of a professional firefighter? These are all issues that need to be addressed.

Nowadays, there are many contract firefighters, and to put it bluntly, it is a last resort because the firefighters in the army are insufficient. However, the equipment of the fire and armed police forces is still used, and it is still under the command of the unit commander, and the salary is low and the vacation is few. This has resulted in an overall low quality of contract firefighters.

It is also a general police situation.

The professional firefighters I am talking about need high quality, high level, and can face a variety of complex and dangerous environments, which requires high welfare and systematic education and training. This is what a professional firefighter is.

The professionalization of firefighters can greatly reduce the number of firefighters** and can accumulate a lot of experience. In some countries, the fire department implements professional operation, if you like this industry, you can continue to do it, and you can often see some firefighters in their forties and fifties who are still working in the front line. In this way, the experience of firefighting has been accumulated, and once they encounter an emergency, their response and command are more scientific.

Because the fire protection system is now under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Emergency Management, it is divided into two categories: fire rescue and forest fire protection, in order to make the fire system personnel more skilled and promote the vigorous development of the fire protection system, so the professionalization of the fire protection system is imperative, but at presentIt is a militarized management of the troops.

Because firefighters are high-risk professions, and China's firefighters are armed police establishments. To put it simply, if you join the army, but you are discharged from the army without promotion within a limited time.

This model similar to military service has drawbacks. Firefighting is a professional and technical thing. Veterans will be discharged from the army, and recruits will have to be trained from scratch, which consumes manpower, material and financial resources very much, and is not conducive to the development of firefighting.

Therefore, it is proposed that the professionalization of firefighters is not to retire from the army and to be full-time firefighters.

This is good for the country, for the people, and for the firefighters themselves, because some firefighters do not know what to do after being discharged, and there is a feeling that they are unemployed after being discharged, and it also solves their worries, but the treatment of continuing to work must be dealt with preferentially, after all, firefighters are a high-risk profession, and it is also a very hard profession!

Because the firefighter itself is a very professional operation. There will be a lot of some training every day.

At the same time, there are many operational skills and many dangers.

They have to be professional so that they can do better, better protect others, and protect themselves at the same time.

This is a professional need.

Because this is a matter of life, just like a doctor, without professional and strict training, it is terrible to work in the future, after all, human life is at stake.

Firefighters used to belong to the physique of the army, and they are a special group, if the firefighters are not professional, the team will not be stable, and it will also cause the loss of professional firefighters. In this case, in order to stabilize the human body of firefighters, they generally have to be professional.

With the rapid development of China's economy and society, the contradiction of insufficient police force of the public security fire brigade has become increasingly prominent, and the full-time fire brigade will play an increasingly important role as a powerful supplement to the active fire fighting force. The professional construction of full-time firefighters requires the gradual development of the full-time firefighter team, breaks through the bottleneck that restricts the stable development of the full-time fire brigade, and requires the implementation of the fire professional qualification system to provide strong support for the professional development of full-time firefighters.

According to relevant data, in the past five years, nearly 150 firefighters have died on the front line of fire fighting and rescue across the country, and hundreds of firefighters are injured or even disabled every year. "The rate of firefighters in China is high in the world. Wang Meihua, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and deputy chief engineer and director of the chief engineer's office of Shanghai Construction Engineering Group Co., Ltd., said, "It is urgent to start the professional reform of firefighters.

At present, firefighters in various parts of China are generally facing the problem of insufficient manpower. The public security fire brigade is the main force of the fire brigade, and in the active fire brigade, due to the limitation of the establishment, the fire force gap is large. Wang Meihua said that in order to fill the gap of active firefighters and solve the problems of short service time of compulsory soldiers, in recent years, Shandong, Hubei, Anhui, Shanxi and other places are exploring the contract firefighter system, "through financial allocation, social recruitment, etc., open source for firefighters, but the comprehensive treatment of contract firefighters is low", at the same time, with the rapid development of urbanization and industrialization in China, the challenges encountered in firefighting work are increasing, "which requires firefighters to have higher professional quality."

Firefighting is a high-risk group relative to other occupations, must go through professional training, in order to be able to perform some dangerous firefighting tasks, ordinary people can not meet the conditions for performing tasks, for some fire-fighting equipment, it is also necessary to train to use normally. Therefore, the professionalization of firefighters must be carried out.

Because firefighters have high requirements for professional knowledge and professional equipment, only professionalism can better respond to emergencies, and it is convenient in terms of organization, management and deployment, so firefighters should be professional.

As a special ambulance profession, firefighters need to undergo special physical, technical and psychological quality training to ensure that they have special physical fitness, skills and psychological quality requirements.

Only by taking the road of professionalism can fire protection move towards specialization. With the development of society, whether it is fire prevention or fire fighting and rescue, the requirements for the accumulation of knowledge and experience are getting higher and higher, but the current system, the iron-clad battalion, and the flowing soldiers, even if the service period is extended, is a drop in the bucket, useless, and can not meet the needs of development at all, major fires occur frequently, and the effectiveness of fighting is poor, which shows this point. Therefore, from strategic considerations and overall considerations, it is imperative for China to professionalize fire protection.

The professionalization of firefighters is mainly to help everyone form a concept of the importance of firefighting.

Another is that the entire salary of firefighters can be concrete, and it must be quantified to give them a better treatment.

Therefore, the professionalization of firefighters is actually to let us form a sense of firefighting, and we can have better treatment for this profession.

Personally, I think that the professionalization of firefighters is mainly for the safety of firefighters and the timeliness of firefighting. Because firefighters extinguishing fires and saving lives is a very urgent and dangerous job. Therefore, firefighters must have sufficient professional knowledge and specialized equipment.

And these special equipment, it is difficult for ordinary people to operate proficiently. Therefore, it is necessary to professionalize the profession of firefighter and assign it to a special person, so that he can be familiar with the use of equipment and have enough professional knowledge to deal with various dangerous fires.

First, because the task is daunting! Second, because work is important! Third, there is danger! Fourth, it is professional! Fifth, because of the urgency of time!

Because firefighting is a very important job, making firefighting professional will make more people want to participate. Therefore, firefighters must be professional so that more fire dangers can be dealt with in a timely manner.

We all want to implement the vocational system as soon as possible, so that we don't have to calculate all day when we should be promoted, if we are promoted, we can work for a few more years, and if we don't get promoted, we should leave before we are old. We often say, don't think about tomorrow, because tomorrow has too many unknowns and undecided, and there is no sense of security and stability, which is one of the disadvantages of the active duty system. If the vocational system is implemented, it will not be easy, it should be a systematic project, which will cost a lot of money, hire a lot of people, and make up a lot of previous debts.

1. The number of fire stations should be increased.

Constrained by the active duty system, our establishment is strictly limited, and some brigades need to increase the number of squadrons, but the establishment does not allow it, which is very difficult to do. One radish and one pit, the reality requires us to dig more pits and plant more radias, but the establishment is not allowed, the establishment is not allowed, and the finance is not allowed. I was at a fire station along the coast, and it took me an hour to drive to the farthest part of the jurisdiction, and when I arrived at the daylily, it was also cold, and an hour, far more than the theoretical requirement of 15 minutes.

In some urgent situations, such as drowning rescue, this is the most worrying time. The family members are anxious and scolding people non-stop, and we can't help it, we can only say okay, and the mood is really sad.

At present, many places are also forced to adopt workarounds, such as building a new station, transferring cadres from other squadrons, and the soldiers are mainly contract firefighters, but this is not a long-term solution after all. In fact, it should be like the United States, a small fire station in each block, as small as only two vehicles, but it can be quickly rushed to the scene to deal with it, and at the same time deploy reinforcements. But think about the land in the city**, I don't think it's easy to do......Now, the real estate developer construction area is attached to the school, and maybe in the future there will be a small fire station?

In this regard, we owe a lot of debts, and this is a job that needs to be repaid and made up.

2. The number of firefighters needs to be increased.

The number of firefighters in an ordinary fire station is generally about 20 people, 2-4 commanders, 2 communicators, 3 drivers, and 11-13 combatants. But it's not enough, there will be various training tasks every year, and at least as mentioned above, there are only 10 people in a station, and cleaning is not enough. If there is a fire station, the number of firefighters will have to be increased at the same time.

In addition, if the vocational system is implemented, it will not be the same as now, there will be rotational holidays, weekends and holidays, how can it be two shifts. If you stand with 20 people, you have to be close to 40 people in two shifts. Of course, if you build a small station as in other countries, the number of people will need to be smaller, but on the whole, the number of firefighters will increase rapidly to meet the requirements of shifts.

3. The number of fire professional schools needs to be increased.

At present, there are only three fire academies, Langfang, Kunzhi, and Nanjing Non-commissioned Officer College, which should be like Hong Kong and Taiwan, Europe and the United States, or like the public security, to establish more, or even one full-time undergraduate college in each province, and select the best for all high school graduates. After four years of study, you can join the firefighter and select a fire station commander from among the experienced firefighters.
