What is the difference between a fire engineer and a firefighter

The 2018 fire engineer examination is not limited to majors, any major can apply for the examination if the conditions are met, and obtain the corresponding fire engineer qualification certificate issued by the state, and the professional and technical personnel who can be engaged in fire protection facility testing, fire safety testing and other fire safety technology work with this certificate.

Why are so many people rushing to apply for the fire engineer exam? What are the advantages of a fire engineer?

1.Talent is in huge demand.

According to the Ministry of Public Security Fire Bureau, in the next 3 to 5 years, China needs nearly 500,000 registered fire engineers, a wide range of demand, all walks of life, all important fire protection responsibilities of the unit and related intermediaries, all need to be equipped with a corresponding number of fire engineers to obtain qualifications.

2.The difficulty of the exam is decreasing year by year.

Since the first examination of a first-class registered fire engineer in 2015, the pass rate of general practice that year is only, the pass rate of general practice in 2016, and the pass rate of general practice in 2017 is 3%-5%.

3.Grade management is relatively relaxed.

The examination subjects of the first-class registered fire engineer are three subjects, and the rolling management method of a three-year cycle is implemented; The examination subjects for the second-level registered fire engineer and the first-class registered fire engineer exempted personnel are two subjects, and the rolling management method is implemented for a cycle of 2 years; This policy helps candidates to have more time to revise and can guarantee a higher pass rate.

4.There are many positions and high salaries.

Registered fire engineers can be engaged in business managers, project managers, fire protection engineers, budget officers, fire engineering project managers, water and electricity engineers, fire protection constructors, constructors, fire protection project managers, fire engineering budget officers, mechanical and electrical engineers, safety directors, safety consultants, etc.

5.The certificate is of high value.

The fire protection engineering major belongs to the public security technology category in the engineering category, of which there are 6 majors in the public security technology category, and the fire protection engineering major ranks first in the public security technology major, and ranks 44th in the entire engineering category. Among similar majors, the high ranking of the fire protection engineering major has created a high gold content of the registered fire engineer certificate.

6.Employment is good.

Fire engineer is the only one in the country that can be registered to the age of 70 access class certificate, according to the survey of the north, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other first-tier cities affiliated costs are considerable, now.

Second- and third-tier cities are also gradually understanding and implementing, and if you do a full-time job, it is a transformation in many friends' lives.

Is a fire engineer a firefighter?

In recent years, the fire engineer certificate has been extremely popular, and the number of applicants is surging every year, but many people have heard of this certificate for the first time, and they don't know what this certificate is used for, and it is easy to confuse a first-class fire engineer and a firefighter, in fact, these two are completely different concepts.

Firefighters refer to the specific occupations (types of work) in the fire protection industry, but also our protectors, we also like to call them "retrogrades", need to go through special special physical fitness, skills and psychological quality training, specifically can be divided into comprehensive fire rescuers, forest firefighters, fire rescuers, fire extinguishers, fire fighters, fire lookout observers. Firefighters are mainly responsible for extinguishing fires and providing ambulance services, as well as other rescue work.

The scope of practice of a first-class fire engineer can be divided into:

1.fire technical consultation and fire safety assessment;

2.fire safety management and technical assessment;

3.inspection and maintenance of fire-fighting facilities;

4.fire safety detection and inspection;

5.technical analysis of fire accidents;

6.Other fire safety technical work.

In the practice comparison, we can see that there is a big difference between a firefighter and a first-class fire engineer, and the danger of firefighters' work is greater than that of a first-class fire engineer, and both parties have important responsibilities.

The difference between a firefighter and a fire engineer is that a firefighter is a post certificate, and a fire engineer is a registration certificate. Firefighter certificate refers to the fire administrative license, which is issued by the administrative department and has legal effect; The fire engineer certificate refers to a person who is engaged in the fire protection engineering industry and has obtained a state-recognized practice qualification certificate.

Firefighters: refers to the practitioners included in the scope of occupations (types of work) unique to the fire protection industry, which can be subdivided into comprehensive fire rescuers, forest firefighters, building (structure) firefighters, fire extinguishers, fire fighters, fire lookout observers, etc. In fact, firefighters are more focused on "fire fighting and rescue" when they are in the state of work.

Areas of Practice of a Fire Protection Engineer:

1. Carry out technical consultation on fire protection technology and assessment of fire safety issues.

2. Manage the safety of fire protection and conduct technical training on fire safety.

3. Inspection and maintenance of fire-fighting facilities for daily use.

4. Technical analysis of fire accidents.

The essential difference is that one is a post certificate and the other is a registration certificate.

There is no entry threshold for the post certificate, and the registration certificate is the highest level examination in the industry, and it is also the most difficult examination. Although it is the most difficult, it is still no problem to pass the passing line if you have a good grasp of the normative focus and good study skills.

Firefighters refer to employees who are included in the scope of occupations (types of work) specific to the fire protection industry. Specifically, it can be subdivided into comprehensive fire rescuers, forest firefighters, building (structure) firefighters, fire extinguishers, fire fighters, fire lookout observers, etc. In fact, firefighters pay more attention to "fire fighting and rescue" when they are working, and after a fire occurs, it is our beloved firefighters who carry out fire fighting and rescue operations.

Registered fire engineer refers to the professional and technical personnel engaged in fire safety technical consultation, fire safety assessment, fire safety management, fire safety technical training, fire protection facility testing, fire accident technical analysis, fire protection facility maintenance, fire safety monitoring, fire safety inspection and other fire safety technical work after obtaining the corresponding level of fire protection engineer qualification certificate through examination and registering in accordance with the law.

A fire engineer is not a firefighter. Registered fire engineer refers to the corresponding level of fire engineer qualification certificate obtained by examination, and the attribute is professional qualification; Firefighters refer to employees who are included in the scope of occupations (types of work) specific to the fire protection industry, and are members of fire fighting emergency response groups.

The main responsibilities of a registered fire engineer are to engage in fire technical consultation, fire safety assessment, fire safety management, fire safety technical training, fire protection facility inspection, fire accident technical analysis, fire protection facility maintenance and annihilation, fire safety monitoring, fire safety inspection, etc.

At the same time, they also participate in ambulance work (such as road rescue, ambulance rescue), public service (such as removing wild animals and eliminating potential safety hazards), inspection of safe water sources of water supply companies, and internal services (wiring, paperwork).

Fire engineer refers to the registered fire engineer examination to obtain a certificate, and registered in accordance with the law to engage in fire safety technical work of professional and technical personnel, registered fire engineer examination needs to meet the requirements of education and working years, there is no professional requirements.

Registered fire engineers are divided into Class I Registered Fire Engineers and Class II Registered Fire Protection Engineers. The difference between the main and the main is that the scope of practice of the certificate is different, the position is different, and the application conditions are different.

1. The scope of practice of the certificate is different.

The first-class fire engineer certificate can be used throughout the country; Fire Engineer II can only be used in the province.

2. The appointment position is different.

Obtain the qualification certificate of first-class registered fire engineer and can be hired as an engineer; Obtain the qualification certificate of Class 2 registered fire engineer and be hired as an assistant engineer.

3.The application requirements are different.

The application conditions for first-class fire engineers should be more stringent, which is reflected in the academic qualifications, working years, graduation years, etc.; The entry requirements for Fire Engineer II are relatively low.

The value of the certificate is the most intuitive way to see the demand in the market. The demand for fire engineers is great, and the gold content is even more year by year.

The state has extremely high requirements for personnel related to fire protection engineers, making the registered fire engineer certificate a scarce resource in the industry, and the state requires fire protection related institutions to hold a fire engineer certificate, resulting in the value of the fire protection certificate increasing year by year.

Now the person in charge of some major engineering projects, the threshold has begun to add "need to hold a first-class fire engineer certificate", fire engineer has a high degree of decision and determination power for a project, registered fire engineer has veto power over the design and evaluation of project fire protection facilities, put into use and safe operation, the value of the certificate is very great.

With the fire engineer certificate can be engaged in fire-related work, now the state stipulates that shopping malls, hotels, schools and other densely populated public places need to be equipped with a certain number of registered fire engineers, after the fire engineer certificate, employment has more security, there are more employment opportunities.

Fire Engineer (FPE) refers to a senior technical application professional who has mastered the basic theory of fire and has the skills of design, construction, operation, commissioning and maintenance of fire monitoring systems and common fire extinguishing systems. The main work includes: design, construction, operation, commissioning and maintenance of fire monitoring systems and common fire extinguishing systems.
