Keywords: firefighting equipment; maintenance; problems; countermeasures

In recent years, as the fire brigade has played an increasingly important role in disaster relief and rescue, leaders at all levels have attached great importance to the construction of fire brigades. A number of fire-fighting equipment with high technological content and good fire-extinguishing performance have been gradually put into routine preparations for combat. The dependence of firefighters on equipment has been increasing. Practice has proved that "equipment and equipment are the second life of officers and soldiers." Only if equipment and equipment are maintained in place and used reasonably, can we maximize the effectiveness of equipment and equipment and become a big hit and a bad enemy. Victory's powerful weapon, on the contrary, may become a stumbling block on the fire, lack of appropriate equipment, officers and soldiers in the face of disaster accidents will also be Cambodia- T- no strategy, and even threaten their own security. The author discusses some experiences and ideas on how to effectively manage and maintain equipment and equipment.

1 outstanding problems in the use and maintenance of fire equipment

Fire equipment is the general name for various fire extinguishing agents and fire extinguishing equipment and equipment used on fire and emergency rescue scenes. The firefighting equipment is divided into special services and firefighters' personal protective equipment. Special service equipment includes fire-fighting vehicles, detection, life-saving, vigilance, demolition, plugging, transmission, decontamination, communications, lighting, exhaust , and other categories; firefighters personal protective equipment including firefighters respiratory protection equipment, firefighters protection Clothing, other protective equipment and other categories. At present, firefighting equipment is characterized by advanced technology, sophisticated equipment, high purchase prices, high maintenance costs, and quick replacement. Once it fails to comply with the development trend of fire-fighting equipment, it can easily result in the introduction of advanced equipment and facilities in rescue operations. "Wu Zhi Di" is a place where "viewing objects" are located.

1 . 1 purchase expensive equipment, training and reluctant to use

Judging from the status quo of the firefighting forces, the equipment funding of the firefighting force mainly comes from local operating expenses, and local investment in the firefighting force is very limited. Advanced firefighting equipment, especially special equipment, ranges from a few thousand dollars to as much as tens of thousands of dollars. In particular, for some grassroots squadrons in impoverished counties, even the provision of conventional equipment is difficult to guarantee. Although advanced equipment and equipment are equipped, they are expensive and delicate, and they are reluctant to be used for training and use. A large amount of funds can be purchased for equipment only for people to visit, and become furnishings, placed in warehouses to charge up, failed to play the role of equipment and equipment.

1 . 2 The lack of Chinese data in imported equipment and the loss of major technical personnel

At present, the vast majority of special equipment is imported from abroad mainly through agents. The instructions attached to the equipment are often in foreign languages. There is a lack of complete Chinese translation. The officers and men of the basic squadron often fail to understand the purpose, performance, use, and maintenance of the equipment. Most of the time, relying on the short-term training of dealers, some agents themselves are also little knowledge. In addition, with the new and old replacement of troops, a large number of technical backbones have not been able to stay in the army as they wish, and there is a phenomenon of “equipment and others”. On the one hand, the equipment can not exert its own maximum efficiency when it is used; on the other hand, the use of maintenance is not in place, causing unnecessary loss, which greatly shortens the service life of the equipment, resulting in the retirement of expensive fire-fighting equipment or early retirement.

1 . 3 Incomplete equipment accessories, similar products can not be universal

Some dealers are pursuing the greatest economic benefits, drilling fire department understanding, in the sale of fire equipment, some equipment lack individual parts, resulting in expensive equipment bought out of the equipment. For example, the injection-type plugging tool purchased is missing the plugging glue, and it is not used unless it is purchased separately. In addition, at present, there are many brands of fire protection products and competition is fierce. The same products are often produced by several manufacturers, but manufacturers of similar products have not reached a unified standard. Products between distributors are not matched and they often produce the same things. The interface model is different and cannot be used universally.

1 . 4 Continuing investment cannot be guaranteed, consumables and equipment "out of service"

Some fire-fighting equipment is a consumable product. No matter how often it is used, it cannot be used to meet its original service performance. It must be eliminated, as shown in Table 1. Some equipment needs to be replaced after a certain service life, and testing and maintenance are required. Table 2 shows. Due to the constraints of economic conditions, the relevant departments did not include this work in the equipment and equipment purchase budget for the current year, and continuous investment cannot protect them, causing consumables and equipment to be “extended for service” and often become unstable factors when used in disaster relief and rescue. Always threaten the personal safety of officers and soldiers.

1 . 5 long equipment maintenance cycle, late maintenance can not guarantee

With the development of firefighting equipment, the level of science and technology used has been increasing, coupled with the current testing and maintenance of many equipment, the need for special testing equipment, relying solely on the technical strength of the firefighting force, is impossible to achieve a full range of maintenance and maintenance . Once the equipment has problems or requires regular inspection and maintenance, it is often to contact various manufacturers. Some equipment needs to be sent back to the manufacturers, and even sent to foreign countries for inspection and repair. The maintenance period is long, which affects the preparations for on-duty. Some manufacturers are doing short-term business. After a few years, they will switch to closed-up, and they will not be able to contact even when they are repaired, so that the equipment cannot be repaired and become waste products.

Countermeasures 2 strengthen the management of firefighting equipment

2 . 1 to strengthen the organization and leadership, maintenance of fire-fighting equipment to provide effective protection

Firefighting equipment embodies the level of combat effectiveness of the troops and is directly related to the technical and tactical methods and forms of warfare used in firefighting operations. It is of great significance to the development of firefighting operations. Therefore, the inspection and maintenance of fire equipment must be highly valued in terms of ideology, fully recognize the importance of strengthening the maintenance of fire equipment, overcome the concept of heavy use of light maintenance, effectively strengthen the organization and leadership, and be willing to invest in maintenance, and strive to maintain the equipment. The maintenance expenses were included in the budget of the fire control at the beginning of the year and provided a strong guarantee for the maintenance of fire fighting equipment.

2 . 2 strengthen theoretical study before the operation, the use of simulation training equipment purchase

For the daily training of relatively expensive and easily damaged equipment, before the operation, the officers and men are first organized to fully familiarize with the performance and technical parameters of the equipment and equipment, and after that, imitation operations are used, and conditions can be used to simulate training equipment. Really master the operation essentials and then carry out physical operations to avoid unnecessary loss of equipment and equipment. For example, in the daily training, heavy anti-chemical training suits can be used instead of heavy anti-chemical suits .

Chemical protective clothing

2 . 3 improve the product after-sales service to ensure that the acquisition of equipment is inexpensive

At present, the maintenance of fire fighting equipment is mostly linked to the squadron and the manufacturers, and it is in a relatively passive state. If we want to become passive, we must constrain purchases, improve after-sales service, avoid long repairs in the past, and have long maintenance cycles. Awkward situation for repairs. In order to avoid the situation that the products cannot be used at the time of purchase, the equipment is short of equipment or the manufacturer cannot be contacted during maintenance, it is required to consider the model of the purchased product while considering the price when purchasing the fire fighting equipment. , To achieve a unified plan for the introduction of equipment, to inspect the reputation and qualifications of the manufacturers, to select manufacturers with good quality, good reputation, good after-sales service, and corresponding industry qualifications, and to clearly write the contents of the after-sales service into the purchase contract in signing the purchase contract. : The first is to require that factory equipment and technical personnel arrive at the same time, and to provide uniform training to fire officers and soldiers, and to provide technical support and training at the first time. For example, the Nanping detachment held special training in 2008 and invited manufacturers of various equipment to The squadron provided training for all the key squadrons trained by the squadrons. In 2010 , the Fujian Fire Fighting Team held trainings for equipment technicians and equipment quality inspectors, which effectively promoted the construction of special teams and improved the squadron rescue and disaster relief levels. Secondly, the distributors who import products are required to provide the Chinese manuals for the corresponding imported products to enable the officers and men to master the use and maintenance of the equipment as soon as possible, so as to ensure that the newly purchased equipment is more timely put into duty training. The third is signing the entrusted management contract and reaching consensus with the manufacturer to repair or maintain the purchased equipment regularly or irregularly, or entrust the unit to cultivate technical backbones. For example, in 2007 the Fujian Fire Corps organized the backbones of the detachment squadrons to Shanghai to participate in the Bagu Company. The training of the organization enabled the training personnel to master the daily maintenance of the produced cylinders and simple troubleshooting, to improve the overall professional quality of the grass-roots technicians, and ensure the first-line duty of the troops.

In short, firefighting equipment is an important factor in ensuring combat effectiveness and plays a pivotal role in extinguishing fires and rescue missions. Only by ensuring the good condition of the equipment can the fire fighting equipment be better served by the troops, serve the people, protect the personal safety of the officers and soldiers, and meet the needs of the troops to use the equipment to fight squabbles and fight evil, thus playing a greater role in firefighting and rescue. Efficiency.
