The reason why the fire brigade has strong fire fighting and rescue capabilities and a high overall combat level is that in addition to proper command and excellent quality of firefighters, it is inseparable from the important role played by fire fighting vehicles and equipment.
Today's protagonist is Su Sheng, a "craftsman" who usually silently maintains high-tech equipment behind his back.

Su Sheng, joined the fire rescue team in December 1994, first-class fire chief fire chief fire rank, CPC member, is currently the nanning fire rescue detachment heavy machinery engineering rescue brigade acting station assistant.
On November 9, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping personally presented the flag and delivered a speech to the national comprehensive fire rescue team, marking a new people's team raising the flag, embarking on the journey, and changing the feather.
For Su Sheng, who was 24 years old at the time, this was a new challenge. In the face of the great test of the times of fire control reform, he resolutely chose to persist, participate in the collective transformation, and continue to contribute to the cause of fire protection.
"Those who are strong and powerful can be described as the king of soldiers, those who carry treasure skills can be described as kings of soldiers, and those who persevere can also be called kings of soldiers..."
As the "soldier king" of Nanning Fire Fighting, Su Sheng has made extraordinary achievements in ordinary posts with firm faith and tenacious perseverance. He participated in fire fighting and rescue more than 2,000 times, rescued more than 300 people who were killed, and successively won the honorary titles of "First Class Meritorious Service 1 time, Third Class Meritorious Service 5 times, Outstanding Soldier 4 Times, and Commendation 6 Times;" was awarded the honorary titles of "Advanced Individual in Earthquake Relief in the National Public Security System", "Outstanding Talent Award for Non-Commissioned Officers of the National Public Security Active Duty Force", "Advanced Individual of the National Public Security Fire Brigade 'Three Striving for Excellence'", "National Excellent Equipment Technician", "Outstanding Communist Party Member of the National Fire Brigade", and other honorary titles; "Outstanding Party Member and PoliceMan" of the public security organs in Guangxi Province. He has been rated as "Excellent Communist Party Member" and "Excellent Equipment Technician" by Guangxi Fire Brigade for many times.
He is moving forward solidly on the road of chasing his dreams
As an "old squad leader", In addition to the identity of a firefighter, Su Sheng is also the "guardian" of the detachment's vehicle equipment, and the materials used in 35 fire stations in the city have passed through his hands.
When it comes to the fate of vehicle equipment and equipment, it has to start from more than 20 years ago.
At the beginning of joining the army, Su Sheng secretly resolved to become a "technical soldier", no matter whether it was three or three volts, he practiced hard physical fitness, diligently studied skills, others practiced him ten times, with this tenacity, as desired, he was admitted as a senior auto mechanic.
The vehicle driving during a police attack broke down and broke down. At this time, the squad leader Su Sheng took a moment to properly handle the problem of vehicle failure and ensure the smooth progress of the fire extinguishing task. At that moment, he deeply realized that the complete and good use of vehicle equipment and equipment is the fundamental guarantee for the completion of various tasks, and since then he has liked to deal with vehicles and equipment.
"Endless learning, good at hard work" has always been a portrayal of the life of Su Banchang.
After years of study and practice, he has become familiar with the equipment parameters, operation, management, maintenance, testing, scrapping and other important links of the detachment's vehicles and equipment, and truly transformed from a "rookie" soldier to a "master" technician, becoming a senior equipment and equipment maintenance and repair technician and a special vehicle driver, and can save more than one million yuan in maintenance costs for the detachment every year with excellent technology.
"What we firefighters wear, including the equipment they use, the vehicles, and even at the scene of the disaster, some of the food and drink, are what we provide, or guarantee, so that they can more confidently charge on the front line."
Su Sheng always devoted himself to his work with full enthusiasm, down-to-earth, worked hard to study professional knowledge, repeatedly speculated on the operation and demonstration of fire fighting equipment, actively consulted Chinese and foreign materials, consulted manufacturers and technicians and local maintenance plant masters, and repeatedly achieved good results.
In 2008, Su Sheng improved the on-board water cannon of the lifting fire truck, greatly improved the range of the water cannon on the basis of the original, and conquered the "old and difficult" problem of insufficient range of the lifting vehicle; in 2011, he innovatively proposed the super high-rise water supply scheme of the medium and low pressure fire truck, which was highly affirmed by the leaders of the ministry and bureau; in 2012, he won the first place in the overall score in the regional equipment competition.
Since joining the team, 27 years as a day, he is tireless in learning, not arrogant and impatient, and has walked the road of his dreams step by step.
He used "preaching by example" to the extreme
The advanced model is the banner and direction, and the excellent squad leader is the example and the benchmark.
In the team, Su Sheng gave full play to the pioneering role of the backbone model and led the way, and everywhere he set a model for his teammates. He took the lead in preaching in combination with his own growth experience, integrating his personal growth process with the development of the fire brigade, and constantly infecting and influencing every firefighter around him.
In the eyes of Xiao Yang, who is also an equipment technician, Su Banchang, who cares for his teammates in life, is a meticulous "perfectionist" in his work, and is an example of his respect and admiration.
Su Sheng patrols and inspects the warehouse on foot every day, not only the "general manager" who supervises daily maintenance and maintenance, but also the "doctor" who repairs the fault at a critical moment. "This post is to be particularly 'diligent', ready to be on call, and only at critical moments can we not drop the chain." That's a phrase he often says to his teammates.
In the usual vehicle maintenance work, he will teach the drivers around him a variety of ways to eliminate vehicle problems from time to time, and explain the performance parameters, working principles, structure, maintenance and other knowledge of vehicles and equipment in depth and in a simple way.
Under his influence, a strong atmosphere of "learning equipment and loving equipment" gradually formed in the camp, and there was a "strong interest" in equipment and equipment from the driver to the combatants. He also served as an equipment technology training instructor in the southwest area of the Ministry of Fire Department and a teaching instructor for the equipment technician of the headquarters, and cultivated many equipment experts and technical backbones.
"I learned a lot from the class president. He really pursues perfection too much, and has always been high standards and strict requirements for himself. For example, when we are in basic maintenance, no matter how small the dead end, he can cut out little by little. No matter what the task, he will complete it meticulously and without compromise. He is not only a strict teacher, but also a good squad leader, and he is my role model. Xiao Yang said.
He "gave up his small family" to show his responsibility
The red camp gate, the red tower, the red chariot, all of this constitute a unique scenery of the fire brigade. In the long days, there are very few flowers and laughter, and duties and missions have become the unique "condiments" of life.
From Dachong Village, Lengshuijiang City, Hunan Province, to Nanning, Guangxi, 760 kilometers away, Su Sheng has long regarded this place as a "second hometown" and sprinkled his youth on this hot land.
For 27 years, he has made the team his home, dutifully dutiful, and his busy figure walks in the barracks' garage, equipment depot and equipment maintenance room, but rarely appears on the road to home.
Home is in the province, and the number of times you can go home in a year is not much. But as a firefighter and a party member, his sense of mission and responsibility has made him often take the initiative to give up his family leave and choose dedication again and again.
During the New Year's Festival, when other teammates are together with their loved ones, he is still with these hard devices. "Squad leaders often choose to work overtime for our sake," says one teammate. In order to take care of everyone's mood of wanting to go home for reunion, Su Sheng, as the squad leader, often leads by example, preemptively taking on the heaviest shift, and for those teammates with special circumstances, he will silently sacrifice his rest time to replace them...
Later, his family settled in Nanning together, and he often returned home because of his busy work and heavy tasks. "Basically see you once a week, and when you encounter major festivals and events, you don't go home for weeks." In this regard, his lover said: "Career needs, I understand him very well, don't worry about family affairs, he just needs to take care of himself." ”
"Perhaps, they are used to..." For the understanding of the family, Su Sheng's heart is more regret and indebtedness. But he never regretted it, because he knew the importance of vehicle equipment for fire rescue, even if he made another choice, he would not hesitate to insist and make every effort to ensure that the vehicle equipment was in good condition at all times.
"Do a line, love a line", from "olive green" to "flame blue", Su Sheng's "soldier" heart has not changed, the original intention is still the same, always carry the responsibility and mission on his shoulders, with his own words and deeds to practice the "loyalty to the party, strict discipline, go to the soup and fire, dedication to the people" Zhengzheng oath.
