the heavy pressure of fire fighting tasks

among all types of police incidents, fire fighting accounts for 40% of the total tasks, the largest proportion. this fully shows that fire fighting is still the main task of the fire rescue team. in many provinces, such as shandong, hebei, henan, etc., the proportion of fire fighting by the fire rescue team exceeds 60%.

contribution of forest fire fighting teams

in addition to fire fighting, forest fire fighting teams also play an important role in preventing and extinguishing forest and grassland fires. in august this year, forest fire fighting teams put out 116 forest and grassland fires, contributing to the healthy development of the forest ecological environment.

fire accident situation

in the first eight months, there were 660,000 fire accidents in china, causing 1,324 deaths, 1,760 injuries, and direct property losses of 4.92 billion yuan. compared with the same period last year, the number of fires and deaths increased by 1.4% and 11.5% respectively, while the number of injuries and property losses decreased by 6.6% and 13.5% respectively.

regional distribution analysis

in terms of regional distribution, the total number of fires in rural areas is still relatively large, accounting for 59.1% and 48.7% of the total, while fires in urban areas and other areas such as industrial areas and tourist areas are relatively rare.

challenges and opportunities in the fire safety situation

with economic development and social changes, fire safety issues have also shown new characteristics. from the overall situation analysis of the national fire rescue team, since this year, the national fire rescue team has made significant progress in combating crime and extinguishing fires, but still faces many challenges, such as:

  • fire safety risks brought about by changing population structure
  • the acceleration of urbanization brings new fire safety issues
  • drought and forest fire risks from climate change

looking ahead

the fire safety situation remains severe, and the fire rescue team needs to continuously strengthen its own construction and improve its response capabilities. at the same time, all sectors of society must work together to enhance social awareness of prevention and protect people's lives and property.
