　　On the 6th, the State Council Office held a press conference on the construction and development of the first anniversary of the establishment of the national comprehensive fire rescue team. Qiong Se made the above statement when answering a reporter’s related question.

　　Qiong Se said that on the basis of the original fire prevention and fire fighting and emergency rescue tasks focusing on saving people’s lives, the rescue of natural disasters such as floods, droughts, typhoons, earthquakes and mudslides, as well as accidents such as traffic and hazardous chemicals, has become the main responsibility of rescue. Faced with the task of "all kinds of disasters and major emergencies", we have done the following work to speed up the transformation, improve the mechanism, temper the team and enhance the skills.

　　The first is to improve the emergency rescue mechanism. Formulate ministerial emergency plans and disaster response manuals, compile and revise emergency response, expert think tanks, communication support, material deployment and other institutional mechanisms, organize eight major fire-fighting and rescue projects such as high-rise buildings, underground projects, urban complexes and petrochemical industries, classify and formulate rescue plans for more than 10 kinds of disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons and dammed lakes, compile various disaster handling regulations, strengthen the reserve of war logistics materials, promote the construction of 60 logistics support groups, and initially form a flat emergency rescue command.

　　The second is to strengthen the construction of professional teams. Accelerate the construction of a rescue force system of "all kinds of disasters and major emergencies", set up 27 professional teams in earthquake (geology), mountains and waters and 2 search and rescue dog training and rescue bases throughout the country, and set up provincial flood fighting and rescue teams with 100 to 300 people in 31 fire rescue corps across the country. In addition, the Emergency Management Department set up a 200-person Chinese rescue team based on the Beijing Fire Rescue Corps, which visited Mozambique for the first time this year and carried out international rescue operations. In October this year, it successfully passed the capacity assessment of the United Nations International Heavy Rescue Team, becoming the second team in China with transnational rescue capabilities.

　　The third is to promote the upgrading of rescue equipment. We have carried out technical research on fire fighting and rescue equipment in high-rise buildings, underground engineering, petrochemical industry, etc., and promoted the application of equipment innovation achievements. Over the past year, more than 3,400 fire fighting and rescue vehicles and more than 2.3 million sets of fire prevention and fire fighting and rescue equipment have been added. Strengthen emergency communication support teams at all levels, equip key communication equipment, pay close attention to key construction such as actual combat command platform, and initially build an emergency communication support system covering the whole country, running through all levels and responding quickly.

　　The fourth is to improve the comprehensive rescue capability. Organize all-staff post training and competition in the whole team, and practice physical skills, tactical command and cooperative support. We will carry out difficult technical training in nuclear, biochemical, hazardous chemicals, high-rise fire fighting and vehicle accident rescue, diving rescue and rope rescue, and hold a war review meeting in time after all major rescue operations to summarize typical war cases such as earthquake, flood and dammed lake, so as to enhance professional rescue ability.

　　Qiong Se emphasized that the national comprehensive fire rescue team pays attention to learning from the experience of relevant countries and regions, and strengthens international exchanges and cooperation. It has successively hosted the ASEAN Regional Forum Urban Emergency Rescue Seminar and Fire Games, and teamed up to Russia to participate in the 15th World Fire Rescue Championship. Recently, the Emergency Management Department held an international fire rescue technical exchange competition in Zhejiang, and had in-depth exchanges, mutual promotion and common improvement with colleagues from all over the world.
