In fire-fighting and rescue operations, advanced equipment is crucial, and the human factor is also very important. However, only when people and equipment are organically combined can their maximum efficiency be achieved, minimizing casualties and property damage.
1. Familiarizing oneself with the performance of the equipment and strengthening maintenance is a prerequisite for achieving an organic combination of people and equipment.
In recent years, the headquarters has paid special attention to the construction of fire-fighting equipment, taking effective measures to strongly promote it. The development of fire-fighting equipment in various places across the province has made great strides, and the equipment of the special operations team has increased day by day. The performance and usage methods of the equipment vary. If one cannot proficiently master the performance, technical parameters, and scope of application of the equipment, then in practical fire-fighting and rescue operations, it will be difficult to play its due role, delaying opportunities.
Firstly, one must study carefully to understand and master the performance and basic principles of various types of equipment.
Using a variety of methods, combine the personnel situation of the troops to conduct in-depth studies on the performance, technical parameters, and applicable scope of various types of equipment. One must truly understand the basic principles of various types of equipment, apply knowledge from one area to another, and integrate comprehensively. Avoid "not seeking a thorough understanding, rote memorization," and familiarize oneself through use. Brigades and detachments should combine position training and attack group competitions to further strengthen supervision and inspection of the troops' mastery of the performance, technical parameters, and applicable scope of equipment. They should classify and organize the equipment situation of their units, compile catalogs, frequently learn common knowledge about the equipment, to achieve the purpose of fully understanding and mastering it.
Secondly, strengthen the cultivation and retention of professional backbone personnel, and do well in the "passing on, helping, and leading" of professional technology.
For some special operation equipment and some technically demanding equipment, based on understanding its basic principles and common knowledge, invite technicians or experts for guidance lectures to deeply understand and master the equipment's performance, technical parameters, and applicable scope. On the basis of universal mastery, designate specific individuals, define positions and responsibilities, assign positions for training, focus on organizing personnel to tackle key issues related to some technically demanding and hard-to-master equipment, and categorize mastery. This not only cultivates a batch of technical backbone personnel but also ignites enthusiasm for researching technology and participating in large-scale training. In cultivating the backbone team, pay attention to hierarchy, ensure good "passing on, helping, and leading," and avoid phenomena such as "disconnection" or "youth shortage."
Thirdly, strengthen the maintenance and care of equipment to ensure that the equipment is in excellent condition and ready for use.
Firstly, establish and improve all management systems, implement responsibility, regularly check, and frequently maintain to ensure that the equipment can be mobilized, used, and operated when needed. Secondly, when purchasing equipment, coordinate and cooperate. Purchasing equipment must be practical and realistic. Additionally, choose manufacturers with high quality, good after-sales service, and guaranteed training and maintenance, and establish long-term cooperative relationships to avoid situations where the purchased equipment cannot be operated or becomes useless upon purchase.
2. Based on actual needs, seriously conducting equipment training is a basic requirement for achieving an organic combination of people and equipment.
To maximize the effectiveness of people and equipment, in addition to familiarizing oneself with the equipment and maintaining it, training on the use of equipment is equally indispensable. Training not only helps understand the performance, technical parameters, and applicable scope of the equipment but also tests whether the equipment can perform its expected function during application, promoting mutual learning and improvement among officers and soldiers, enabling them to comprehensively master and apply the equipment.
Firstly, determine the training content based on actual needs.
There are two methods to determine the training content: one is to follow the regulations in the "Firefighting and Rescue Business Training Outline," compare the training subjects, and arrange the types of equipment for training. For example, reconnaissance subjects can include training on toxic gas detectors and combustible gas detectors; demolition subjects can include hydraulic cutters, electric shears, and chain saws. The second method is to select the type of training equipment based on the actual needs of firefighting and rescue operations. For example, in underground building fires, choose smoke exhaust machine training and guide rope simulation training.
Secondly, strictly follow the training procedures.
Training should proceed according to the principle of progressing from easy to difficult, simple to complex, low to high, step by step. Generally, start with theoretical learning, understand basic knowledge, then proceed to operational practice. After proficiently mastering basic techniques, gradually change the training conditions, demonstrating various terrains, fire situations, weather conditions, or simulating various faults and emergencies, allowing trainees to handle them and improve their application skills under various conditions.
Thirdly, actively create conditions to effectively carry out simulation training.
First, according to the thirteen types of simulation training facilities listed in the Ministry of Public Security Fire Bureau's "Guidance Plan for the Construction of Simulation Training Facilities at Fire Training Bases (Centers)," plan uniformly, implement in phases, adapt to local conditions, simplify where necessary, build basic ones first, and focus on key selections to construct good simulation training venues. Second, rely on existing equipment, fully utilize and tap into the role and potential of existing equipment, and effectively combine regular training with simulation training. Finally, newly purchased equipment must undergo actual training. All equipment should be promptly converted into combat capabilities and not left unused in storage, wasting resources.
Fourthly, training should be practical and emphasize results.
How fires are extinguished determines how soldiers train; how rescue operations are conducted dictates how training is carried out. Train in firefighting tactics, equipment usage, organizational command, synthetic enhancement, etc., focusing on effects and not just form, patterns, or appearances.
3. Scientific battle formations are the realization form of achieving an organic combination of people and equipment.
Due to the arduousness and complexity of modern firefighting and rescue missions, to adapt to new situations and problems faced by the fire department, especially in cross-regional and large-scale complex firefighting and rescue operations, if the equipment's role is not fully utilized, tactics and strategies cannot be flexibly applied, and coordinated operations fail to form synergy, it will severely disrupt the integrity and timeliness of firefighting and rescue combat systems, slowing down the overall firefighting battle or rescue activities and reducing efficiency, causing unnecessary losses to the public. Therefore, it is essential to carefully study battle formations suitable for actual needs, strengthen training, and continuously improve.
Firstly, clarify that vehicle and equipment are the foundation of battle formations.
That is, all levels of commanders must understand and master the most basic battle formations and adjust or reduce vehicles and personnel according to existing vehicles and equipment, forming several practical firefighting battle formations. Highlighting this habit in training and actual combat is very important. For example, water tankers can be formed into water tanker battle formations, foam trucks can be either water tanker formations or foam truck formations. Similarly, aerial ladder truck formations, high-spray truck formations, rescue truck formations, lighting truck formations need to be studied and formulated. In general, whatever kind of equipment you have, you can form a certain type of battle formation. Battle formations are not limited to one form; they can break the boundaries between teams, using a particular team's special vehicles as the mainstay, combining with nearby teams to form one or more formations; or form a formation or water supply system according to the actual vehicles of the team, making large-tonnage water tankers or special vehicles the main battle fleet, low and high-pressure pump fire trucks the water supply fleet, and then use conventional fire trucks to occupy nearby water sources to form a supplementary water supply fleet, achieving the best combination of personnel and equipment and reaching scientifically adaptable battle formations.
Secondly, fully play the role of each combatant, reflecting specialization in multiple areas.
Currently, non-commissioned officers (NCOs) are the main force in firefighting battles and rescue operations, and their management and use are particularly important. Strengthen the training of NCOs to make them professional talents who can operate, maintain, repair, and manage. Team commanders should understand the characteristics of various personnel and, according to different situations, form reconnaissance, firefighting, rescue, leak sealing, decontamination, and other independent yet mutually supportive battle formation groups to fully play their cutting-edge roles in firefighting and rescue. Strengthen the study of firefighting tactics and techniques, enabling them to master the characteristics and tactical methods of various types of fires, understand and master the characteristics and handling procedures of common disasters, and play a cutting-edge role at critical times. Frequently conduct drills involving combat vehicles, personnel, and battle formations, enhancing the coordination and cooperation abilities between groups, classes, and teams, so that each grassroots combat unit achieves the optimal combination of people and equipment in firefighting and rescue operations, maximizing efficiency.
4. Scientific decision-making in actual combat is an important guarantee for achieving an organic combination of people and equipment.
In firefighting battles and rescue operations, only when the participating commanders and fighters scientifically decide under the circumstances of personnel and equipment, can the maximum benefits of people and equipment be achieved, leading to the success of firefighting battles. However, disaster scenes often change rapidly, so it is necessary to timely grasp relevant information on-site to provide reliable basis for scientific decision-making.
Firstly, thoroughly investigate the accident scene.
Fully play the role of detection instruments in accident handling, and run the investigation throughout the entire process of accident handling. This is the premise for commanders to formulate action plans.
Secondly, the action plan must be meticulous and feasible.
During the action, commanders should seek opinions from professionals, pool wisdom, and decisively decide based on the personnel and equipment situation of the troops. According to the changes in the situation, deal with it appropriately without blindly rushing ahead, ensuring the safety of rescue actions. Ensure that rescue actions are completed in one step, avoiding detours.
Thirdly, continuously summarize the experience and lessons learned in actual combat.
Carefully summarize successful experiences, and regarding the problems that appear, do not fear "revealing shortcomings." Develop a good habit of doing post-action reviews, which is a shortcut to continuously improving firefighting and rescue capabilities in practice. It is also an important measure to formulate targeted measures for strengthening and rectification, avoiding past mistakes from reoccurring in future firefighting and rescue actions.
In summary, strengthening research on equipment, mastering its performance and rules, and paying attention to its training and application, achieving an organic combination of equipment, personnel, and tactics, will continuously improve the firefighting and rescue combat capability of the fire department, enabling it to truly become a civilized army that can "be mobilized, rush forward, save lives, and win battles," laying a solid foundation for protecting national and personal life and property safety.
