In order to comprehensively improve the team's actual combat ability to deal with underground building fire accidents, we should do a good job in the preparation for fire fighting and rescue in the most unsafe places. On April 16, the Nujiang Prefecture Fire and Rescue Detachment carried out an unplanned fire fighting and rescue exercise in the harmonious community of Daliandi, Lushui City.
The drill mobilized the Bijiang Road Special Service Station, the Lushui City Fire and Rescue Brigade, and the Combat Logistics Support Detachment, and deployed the Fugong County Fire and Rescue Brigade, Gongshan County Fire and Rescue Brigade, Lanping County Fire and Rescue Brigade and 17 vehicles and 90 people from the "three teams and seven types of people" in the jurisdiction to participate in the drill.
Disaster setting: At 16:30 on April 15, 2024, the underground garage in Area A, Harmony Community, Dalian Street, Lushui City, caused a fire due to a short circuit of the vehicle charging pile, and the fire spread immediately.
After the combatants arrived at the scene, the front and rear command quickly set up a connection, and in accordance with the task deployment of the forward command and the requirements of the "four groups and one chief" of fire fighting and rescue, they quickly set up combat teams such as disaster reconnaissance, safety alert, search and rescue evacuation, smoke exhaust lighting, and fire water supply.
During the exercise, according to the on-site rescue situation, the forward command set up the danger situation on the spot, randomly issued an emergency evacuation order, and all the participants immediately stopped the water supply, put down the equipment in their hands, and quickly withdrew from the dangerous area, fully testing the ability of the fire and rescue personnel to deal with the situation on the spot, so that the drill is closer to the actual combat.
The rear command continuously pushed safety precautions, and after an hour of emergency rescue and hard fighting, the trapped personnel were successfully rescued and the drill task was successfully completed.
After the exercise, Deputy Detachment Leader Wang Jianbin commented on the drill work from the aspects of force deployment, team assembly, command procedures, combat operations, and joint logistics linkage, and put forward requirements for further strengthening the fire fighting and rescue work: First, the team's sense of participation in the drill should be further enhanced. The purpose of the drill is to serve actual combat, and all contingents should pay attention to the form of "drill" and, even more, to the effect of "drill." In the course of the "exercise," we should strictly follow the operational requirements, proceed from actual combat and actual training, standardize procedures and actions, and integrate what we have learned in daily life into the drill to test the results of the training, so as to achieve the goal of training command, coordination, and skills. Second, the use of communications equipment should be standardized. All teams and stations should take this drill as an opportunity, focus on the key links of fire fighting and rescue, conscientiously review and summarize, and study countermeasures for problems and deficiencies one by one, especially for the use of communication equipment when fighting fires in underground buildings, so as to promote the improvement of actual combat ability through drills and continuously improve the combat efficiency of the team. Third, the joint logistics linkage mechanism should be more frequent. In particular, the command centers at the detachment and brigade levels must enhance their ideological understanding, clearly understand the grim situation, actively consult with the prefecture, county (city) transportation, emergency, highway, traffic police, meteorological and other departments, and establish mechanisms such as consultation, research and judgment, information sharing, and situation reporting on a regular basis to ensure the substantive operation of joint logistics linkage. The team should ensure that equipment and personnel can be transported in a modular and one-click manner during cross-regional rescue, so as to achieve the accuracy and efficiency of emergency rescue. Fourth, the awareness of safety management and control should be further strengthened. All levels of the team should adhere to the requirement that "the safety plan is the first plan", deepen the study and judgment of the safety situation, especially in the process of handling typical disasters and accidents such as "high and low, new energy", strictly implement the safety regulations of combat operations, and strengthen the cultivation of safety protection awareness. It is necessary to give full play to the role of safety officers, strengthen risk prediction, and earnestly carry out scientific and safe rescue, so as to avoid and reduce combat casualties to the greatest extent.
