How to Correctly Improve the Fighting Capacity of Fire Equipment

With the rapid development of our country’s economy, governments at all levels have paid more and more attention to firefighting work and increased investment and use of firefighting funds year by year. Around the building on fire equipment to achieve a new leap forward, while currently the most important factor to enhance the combat effectiveness of fire-fighting equipment is not troubled by the hardware construction of fire-fighting equipment, but "soft power" fire-fighting equipment, namely, maintenance of equipment, skills and Daily management and so on. Let China Rescue Equipment and Equipment Network make the following points:

First, the cause of the problem

On the one hand, equipment management tools are backward and technical personnel are scarce. In the basic (middle) teams at the grassroots level, some localities are still using traditional management methods in their entirety. The management efficiency is very low, and there is a lack of vertical and horizontal information exchange between upper, lower, and peer units, and no complete management system has been established. At the same time, the existing talent team of the fire brigade has not been able to adapt to the rhythm of fire equipment development. Soldiers who manage fire fighting equipment are frequently mobilized and have low quality, and they are also lacking in officers who can truly grasp the use and maintenance of fire fighting equipment. The grass-roots training cadres did not fully understand the technical and tactical applications of advanced fire-fighting equipment and did not master them deeply. They encountered technical problems that could not be solved, and could not provide scientific and reasonable suggestions for the system configuration and overall application of fire-fighting equipment.

On the other hand, there is insufficient understanding of the status quo of China's fire equipment . Affected by the financial figures, most of the members of the fire brigade believe that the strength of the equipment lies in the accumulation of input. Depending on the amount of funds invested, the increase in the amount of funds is eagerly pursued, and the optimal combination of fire equipment allocation and the function and effect of the functions are ignored. improve. There is a lack of scientific assessment-based systems for the development strategy of China's fire-fighting equipment, the forecast of socio-economic development demand for fire-fighting equipment, and the overall requirements, general standards, and development plans for the deployment of fire-fighting force equipment in the new era, and how to meet the needs of actual struggles. the study.

II. Suggestions on Improving the Fighting Capacity of Fire Fighting Equipment

(1) Try to achieve the best combination of man and equipment. Advanced equipment can only fully exert its combat effectiveness in the hands of highly qualified personnel. In order to ensure the invincible position in the fire, we must strengthen the cultivation of talents while strengthening the construction of equipment. With imported and cutting-edge equipment constantly entering the firefighting force, there must be skilled personnel to manage and use these equipment, such as various types of special fire engines and equipment, whether imported or domestic, due to high precision and operation. Complex, high technical requirements, the general method of operation can easily damage the equipment. Therefore, the training of specialized technical personnel is particularly urgent. Combining the characteristics of existing equipment, organically combining technical training with on-the-job training, different positions adopt different methods and measures, highlight the goal of “training”, and establish a scientific system of training. The first is to strengthen the self-improvement awareness of equipment operators and provide them with a platform for self-taught talents and job talents. The second is to adopt the “go global, please come” approach to conduct business skills training, make full use of social and technical resources, and take on-site counseling. Participate in the form of local training courses of the same type, increase the level of equipment and equipment used by key personnel of the armed forces, and strive to maximize the combination of advanced fire fighting equipment and personnel skilled in equipment technology.

(b) Strengthen the equipping and use of equipment technicians. At present, the selection of equipment technicians is still in the experimental stage. Equipment technician positions belong to the urgently needed and insufficiently numbered positions for troops. In the deployment, they must adhere to standards and select talents. It is recommended that firefighters should be equipped as many as possible in the squadrons and brigades, so that each fire squadron should be equipped with 2 and the fire brigade should be equipped with 3 professional equipment technicians. This ensures that when one of the technicians retires from active service, the equipment management and maintenance of the squadron can still be maintained. Continuity. However, in the selection process, we must pay attention to professional standards, hold the principle of rather not abuse, and prevent other professionals or personnel from occupying technicians. Every year, a meticulous teaching plan is formulated to enhance professional pertinence. According to the grades of the junior and senior technicians, the content can be divided into classes to teach and improve the actual combat ability. At the same time, when formulating relevant supporting policies, it should be given a certain degree of inclination. If a non-commissioned officer is selected or promoted under the same conditions, he/she may give priority to technicians and non-commissioned officers; technicians with outstanding professional performance in fire fighting, rescue, and rescue operations may apply for advanced level 1 technician qualifications in advance; senior technicians may wait longer than appropriate. Retirement age, etc., to encourage technicians and non-commissioned officers to work at their own pace to ensure the reasonable flow of technicians and long-term stability. This measure will have a greater positive impact under the current fire service system.

(3) Accurately predict equipment costs and prepare scientific procurement plans. The firefighting force may participate in the early development of equipment. The troops will put forward equipment demand functions according to local characteristics. The manufacturers will tailor the equipment for the troops, avoid the equipment from producing “acclimatization” and will not be able to exert its functional advantages; at the same time, the technical requirements and the troops will pass. Manufacturers understand the cost of equipment maintenance and management, accurately predict the equipment's life cycle costs, and prepare for the total number of equipment and funds invested in the later research. Avoid the occurrence of high-quality equipment that cannot be afforded due to lack of funds, which cannot be afforded, and that can only be used or repaired. The current full-life theory is applied to accurately predict, and the equipment's late-stage expenses are predicted and safeguarded. Equipment will not be "injured" or "long-term", and combat effectiveness will naturally be improved.

Third, there are common problems in the current firefighting equipment construction

All localities have entered a misunderstanding and often think that the more advanced and better the equipment is, the better "overseas" the better, and neglect the improvement of "soft power" of fire fighting equipment. Some grass-roots units do not pay enough attention to the management and construction of fire equipment, have little knowledge of the rational allocation of fire-fighting equipment, and do not fully understand the current development trend of fire-fighting equipment. They are blindly pursuing large-scale projects and are unable to make full use of new technologies and equipment. .

Some fire-fighting forces have a relatively weak concept of equipment management and regard advanced fire-fighting equipment and fire-fighting equipment as simple fire-fighting tools. For some technical equipment with certain scientific and technological content, the working principle, use function, and maintenance of its equipment technology are neglected. After high-tech equipment is equipped with troops, it cannot perform its proper function. Even some high-tech equipment will not be used until it expires beyond its useful life, or it will be damaged due to misuse. It cannot really play the effective role of fire-fighting equipment.

Some fire departments did not treat the high-tech equipment as a precision instrument, but as simple training and use tools, which led to serious damage to fire equipment; some units lacked basic technical information and did not understand the storage, use, and maintenance of various types of equipment. Requirements, taboos, due to illegal storage, overuse, sick operation, and failure to maintain on time, resulting in equipment damage, damage, and even lead to other accidents.

What kind of equipment does the firefighting force need to buy? How much does it cost to purchase expensive firefighting equipment? When will the equipment need to be repaired? When should be scrapped? These basic issues are rarely considered. In most places, the practicability, rationality, and feasibility of related equipment and equipment are not well studied. The lack of scientificity in the configuration of equipment makes the fire equipment in service untidy and unreasonable in structure. As a result, the fire-fighting force has generally emerged that the advanced equipment dispensed will not be used, will not be maintained, and failures will not occur.
