Talking about the Present Situation and Development of Fire Fighting Equipment Fire Protection Technology in China

With a large population and a vast territory, China is experiencing tremendous changes and moving towards a brighter future. Since the reform and opening up, the Chinese economy has grown at an annual rate of 8%. However, just as the economy is developing at a rapid pace, serious problems have arisen, such as fire problems. In recent years, the number of fires in China has increased dramatically, attracting the attention of the whole country and even the whole world. In 2004, there were 252,704 fires in the country, 2,558 deaths, 2,969 injuries, and direct loss of 1.67 billion yuan (excluding forests, grasslands, military dui, underground fires in mines). In order to reduce fire damage, it is imperative to strengthen the research on fire fighting equipment and technology.

I. Social environment and current situation

Fire fighting equipment is an important tool for people to fight against fire. The whole world attaches great importance to the research and production of the fire protection equipment industry. The Chinese fire protection equipment industry has made great progress after more than 20 years of reform and opening up.

On February 20, 1995, State Affairs Yuan officially promulgated the "Fire Fighting Reform and Development Outline". The fire blueprint with Chinese characteristics outlined in this outline will be China's fire protection development program entering the 21st century. The outline clearly requires "to make China's fire protection industry reach the middle level in the world by 2010" and will "develop fire technology and improve fire protection technology and equipment".

Fire-fighting technical equipment can be divided into firefighter personal protective equipment, rescue equipment (demolition, ascending, life-saving, fire detection, etc.), fire-fighting equipment and equipment (fire extinguisher, water suction equipment, water injection equipment, fire pump, fire truck, fire fighting) according to the function of use. Boats, firefighting aircraft, tanks, robots, etc.), fire extinguishing agents (water, foam, etc.).

The public an fire department dui divides the fire equipment into two special contents: the special qin equipment and the firefighter personal protection equipment. Special qin equipment includes fire-fighting vehicles, reconnaissance, life-saving, warning, demolition, plugging, transmission, decontamination, communication, lighting, smoke, and other categories; firefighters personal protective equipment including firefighters respiratory protection equipment, firefighters protection Clothing, other protective equipment and other categories.

Fire-fighting technical equipment directly limits or determines the tactical approach to firefighting and the results of tactical implementation. The determinant of the success or failure of fire fighting is the exertion of physical strength and intelligence, and the physical and mental exertion of human beings must be reflected by tools, so fire fighting equipment plays a very important role in fire fighting.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially since the reform and opening up, China's fire-fighting equipment industry has made great achievements. It has initially formed a relatively complete equipment manufacturing industry with fire-fighting vehicles as the leader, vehicle-based accessories, and fire-fighting special equipment. The system, some well-known foreign companies have gradually entered the Chinese market, basically meeting the needs of China's public and professional fire brigade equipment construction. Take fire trucks as an example. By the end of 1999, there were 19,152 fire-fighting vehicles in the country, including 9614 public fire brigades and 9,558 corporate full-time fire brigades, 27.3 times before the liberation, compared with the pre-reform 1978. 42.8%. Well-known enterprises such as Suzhou Jetta, Anhui Mingguang, Jinzhou Heavy Industry, Xuzhou Heavy Industry, Sichuan Fire Fighting Machinery General Factory have been formed, and some products have also been exported to foreign countries, creating considerable economic and social benefits.
