The national comprehensive fire rescue team, as the Great Steel Wall that safeguards the tranquility of the country and protects the safety of people's lives and property, has painted a picture with iron discipline as its soul, courage as its wings, and unremitting struggle as its pen in the magnificent tide of the times. A magnificent picture of emergency rescue, disaster relief and safety protection.
With the change of spring and autumn in the past 75 years, the country's comprehensive strength has leapt to a new level, and the firefighting industry has also ushered in a historic leap – from a single fire extinguishing and rescue in the past to now building an all-round, multi-level comprehensive emergency rescue system. The breadth and depth are constantly expanding.
From bustling cities to mountainous countryside, from high-rise buildings to deep mountains and dense forests… Firefighters are like patron saints. No matter what difficulties and obstacles they face, they can always stand up at the first time, walk against the fire, and use their flesh and blood to Build a line of security.
Transformation and transformation to improve skills
On November 23, 1949, Guiyang was liberated. The Fire Brigade of the Public Security Bureau of the Guiyang Municipal People's Government was established with the establishment of the Guiyang Municipal People's Government. After many transformations, it was officially reorganized and transferred to the Emergency Management Department in 2018, and responded to the “response to The spirit of party loyalty, strict discipline, through fire and water, and dedicated service to the people. After the restructuring, Guiyang Fire Protection quickly established an emergency response system with the fire rescue team as the core and supplemented by industry and social rescue forces. According to the national strategic deployment and combined with the characteristics of Guizhou's karst landforms, 9 special teams including high-rise buildings, underground buildings, large-span spaces, chemical engineering teams, mountain rescue, earthquake rescue, search and rescue dogs, aviation rescue, and limited space rescue have been established or upgraded. Professional disaster response team, and focus on strengthening multi-field special disaster rescue capabilities.
“After the transformation, many barriers were broken. After becoming a part of the emergency system, firefighting is responsible for not only fire extinguishing and rescue, but also needs to do more other rescues. The team's professional requirements are higher.” Guiyang Fire Rescue Detachment Chief Jia Guobin said that Guiyang Firefighting is based on the characteristics of Guizhou's disaster situation and adheres to the construction of professional talents. Through continuous professional training and qualification certification, the professional rescue capabilities of Guiyang's firefighting team have been significantly improved, and more than 70% of grassroots commanders and fighters have obtained relevant professional qualification certifications. At the same time, relying on informatization and data-based means, we established an information sharing mechanism with multiple departments to form an efficient and coordinated emergency rescue network. In particular, the implementation of the “one short, three quick” initial combat mechanism has greatly shortened the time between receiving the alarm and arriving at the scene, and improved the rescue efficiency.
Take the Shibei Road Fire Rescue Station in Guiyang City as an example. The station is mainly responsible for fire-fighting and rescue tasks in the provincial government residence and the surrounding 2.3 square kilometers. Since being stationed at the station in October 2021, it has received a total of 546 alarm calls and efficiently completed a large number of fire-fighting and rescue operations.

At the same time, cloud computing, big data and other technologies were used to create an intelligent alarm receiving and handling system, which shortened the time for receiving alarms by about 45%, demonstrating the effectiveness of the reform.
In the 2019 “7·23” severe geological disaster rescue in Jichang Town, Shuicheng, the Second Station of the Special Service Brigade of Guiyang Fire Rescue Detachment dispatched 6 vehicles, 22 people, and 7 search and rescue dogs, giving full play to the role of the professional heavy-duty rescue team and insisting on saving people first. , the guiding ideology of scientific rescue, risking the possibility of another mountain collapse at any time, charging ahead, racing against time, day and night, and after 6 days and 7 nights of continuous fighting, 10 trapped people were rescued, which was highly praised.
During his 19-year firefighting career, Jiang Tao, a third-level fire chief and assistant to the station chief of the Jinzhu West Road Fire Rescue Station of Guiyang Guanshanhu District Fire Rescue Brigade, has participated in major rescues such as the Wenchuan earthquake. The scope of rescue has expanded from firefighting to multi-disaster rescue. Holds three-star diver and level two instructor qualifications. In the rescue of the Luowang River accident in Kaiyang in 2017, the searchlight went out when he dived to a depth of 15 meters. Jiang Tao and his diving partners faced the complex underwater rescue environment and overcame their psychological fears. They relied on experience and technology to overcome Despite numerous difficulties underwater, the rescue mission was finally completed after nearly 30 hours of continuous operation. “In the future, I plan to learn double-bottle rescue and closed breathing systems, and extend the underwater operation time to cope with the challenges of deep water rescue in our province,” Jiang Tao said.
Social governance and building a line of defense
Guiyang City has achieved remarkable results in building an emergency response system and social co-governance, and its firefighting work has achieved a qualitative leap. The Guiyang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government issued the “Opinions on Comprehensively Promoting the Modernization of Guiyang's Fire Safety Governance System and Governance Capabilities”, establishing four major development directions, clarifying that the “top leaders” of local governments will be in charge of the directors of the fire safety committee, and promoting breakthroughs in the fire protection organization leadership system It has been highly praised and promoted by the Ministry of Emergency Management and the National Fire and Rescue Service.
In order to strengthen social co-governance, Guiyang City has included fire safety responsibilities in the government's key tasks list, established a list of rights and responsibilities, consolidated responsibilities at all levels, and smoothed reporting and complaint channels. In 2023, 8,155 cases were handled, effectively responding to the concerns of the masses. In terms of supporting mechanisms, a number of measures have been introduced to strengthen grassroots firefighting capabilities, and a “Firefighting Service Center” has been established, forming grassroots firefighting work experience that leads the province and has been learned by many parties.
In terms of publicity and education, the Guiyang Fire Rescue Detachment innovatively implemented the “Safety in Groups, Safe Arrival at Home” action, using the grid WeChat group to send fire protection knowledge every week, and carrying out door-knocking and door-to-door publicity every month, focusing on the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, etc. Groups to open up the “last mile” of fire protection publicity.
