23 advice to firefighters

Dear fire comrades:

When one of you read these words, my old man was already dead. But I still want to write these words. The purpose is to hope that you can avoid making mistakes and mistakes that were made because I was ignorant. These opinions and opinions on fire fighting work were all written after my careful consideration.

1 , if you do not love the fire business, can not be sacrificed for it, then you will not engage in fire work. Because not only you can't be an excellent firefighter, but you can also hinder others, and even affect the reputation of fire as a pure, noble enterprise. You go to find other jobs!

2. Remember that as a firefighter, the goal of the struggle is to help those who may be victims of fire.

3 , if it is not absolutely necessary, never take life to take risks, whether this life belongs to you or belongs to others. When you save people in the fire, you must bravely step forward and sacrifice yourself, and encourage your peers to work hard to achieve this lofty goal.

4. If you have a place on the fire that you cannot go through, never send your comrades there. Then you will win their respect. They will also listen to your command quickly and unconditionally, even in situations that may endanger their lives.

5 , in the initial stage of the fire to try to calm himself calm. Be sure to know what is burning, where it burns, and how it burns. Only in this way can we clearly and clearly assign tasks to everyone in order to achieve the goal of extinguishing the fire. When assigning tasks to subordinates, they must be given a certain degree of autonomy in their actions. They must order their orders step by step. They can't be ordered to leapfrog directly to subordinates, which would damage the authority of their superiors.

6. If it is not a very urgent and urgent situation, do not scold or criticize your own internal personnel in front of outsiders. Correcting errors in the work should be done at home, in the fire brigade, or through exercises or meetings.

7. During the extinguishing process, all personal grudges should be set aside between firefighters and between firefighters and disaster victims.

8. Fire chiefs who first rushed to the fire often feel guilty about vanity or overestimate themselves. They always think that relying on the strength of one team can extinguish the fire rather than request reinforcements from other fire brigades. Even if there are redundant fire brigades at the site, it is always better to have serious consequences than the lack of rescue forces.

9. The victims on the scene are sometimes dismayed and desperate. They forget about their valuables and even forget that their children are still in the fire. In this regard , firefighters should promptly remind them ( her ) to raise relevant issues without losing time.

10. In peacetime exercises, it is important to keep in mind those things that must be done on the fire and to master the essentials of doing things. You must not deliberately omit them or intentionally exaggerate them. You must abandon any similar tricks. The best way to achieve the success of the exercise is to make the purpose and practice of the exercise fully understood by each participant, including commanders and fire fighters. And in the course of the drills, we must remain silent. There should be no noisy noises and there must be a good understanding among the staff.

11. Each firefighter should understand the situation of the affected people on the fire. How his physical and health conditions often determine whether firefighters can complete the tasks assigned to them on the fire. On fire, if the firefighters are slow, they may delay the fighter. This requires firefighters to conceive victims on the fire scene as their mothers, sisters, children... The firefighters must realize that the work on the fire is no trivial matter, if not properly complete their duties, do all the details of the work But it looks like it was installed. It may delay the rescue work and cause serious consequences.

12. Three-quarters of the fire brigade's work is manual labor. Just as other physical labor must be done in order to be perfect, we must continue to practice regularly and earnestly. Coaches who instruct fire training should mobilize the enthusiasm of firefighters for continuous practice and train their own team ( team ) , and the team has achieved a collective sense of honor with excellent results.

13. Every firefighter should be able to be good at using the team's various fire equipment tools. For example, the water gunner needs to be skillful, and he must have strength and agility; the driver must constantly improve the level of operation of the fire engine.

14. The fire brigade commander must take various measures to promote the spirit of mutual assistance, mutual assistance, and self-sacrifice that firefighters should have in their daily work and during dangerous times. The consistent slogan of firefighters should be: One for everyone, and one for everyone!

15. Be strict with yourself and be generous with others. We must be tolerant of the weaknesses and weaknesses of our subordinates and companions. Keep in mind that no one is perfect, and only those who do nothing will not make mistakes. However, if tolerant attitudes and practices affect the firefighters' due diligence, it should be another matter.

16. When your comrade-in-arms are doing their duties well and their performance is outstanding, you should praise him and miss any opportunity to praise him.

17. We must find ways to consolidate and strengthen the consciousness of each subordinate and his comrades-in-arms as well as the love of the fire-fighting cause and maintain their own dignity.

18. Firefighters who do not want to be chiefs are not a good firefighter. Of course, not every firefighter can be the head. In addition to some objective factors, such as opportunities, subjectively they must continue to work hard, constantly exercise and enhance the necessary quality and ability, study hard, and persist in improving themselves in practice.

19. Technology is advancing at a dizzy pace. The range of fires used in daily life is also expanding, and the physical characteristics and chemical composition of various appliances and articles are increasingly diversified. Therefore, firefighters, especially fire brigade commanders, must continue to learn.

20. Any measures to improve work or management in the fire brigade must be suitable for their actual situation, and they should not blindly follow the regulations or model practice.

21. Unfortunately, there are still some disputes or prejudices between professional firefighters and volunteer firefighters. In this regard, young firefighters should work hard to eliminate it. Whether it is a professional fire brigade or a volunteer fire protection organization, the firefighters have only one goal. They are fire prevention and fire fighting. Their common enemy is a fire that the Russian people call "red cock." Although their teams have different organizational forms, they use the same fire equipment and equipment on the fire scene. The methods and means of fire fighting are the same. They must rely on friendly cooperation to overcome the fire. Therefore, various methods and forms should be adopted to gradually increase mutual understanding and comradeship between professional firefighters and volunteer firefighters.

22. Some fire brigades have begun to pay attention to the annual work summary, especially writing summary materials. The work summary materials should be regarded as a historical document. Over time, local and national firefighting history was compiled based on the gradual accumulation of material from these fire brigade jobs.

23 , to have work and rest, work and rest. Whether it is the head of a professional fire brigade or the leader of a voluntary fire protection organization, they should be concerned about the work of firefighters and their families, but also be concerned about their rest and entertainment. Firefighters should be organized to carry out various cultural activities and, as far as possible, professional firefighters and volunteer firefighters should participate together.

My old comrades-in-arms, if I had caused some unhappiness to you or prevented you from being wronged because I could not restrain my impatience, I ask you to forgive. But please be assured that I have absolutely no malice to you. I just love all of our common firefighting business and I am very eager to bring it up to the right height.

When I told others, I saw that the 1% I had expected in the past had not been met, but I did what I could do.

Young comrades, you are physically strong, love the fire, you can do more and better!
