In the past, China's fire brigade was part of the armed police, just like the army, and the way of performing tasks and the management system was relatively close to that of the army. But now it is different, the fire brigade is no longer under the control of the armed police, but has been changed to a new department - the Ministry of Emergency Management. This means that firefighters are no longer soldiers, but have become the staff of the administrative system, and their main job is to fight fires and rescue, and they are more focused on professional technology.
The purpose of this is mainly in several aspects. First, in order to make firefighting work more professional and standardized, just like doctors and lawyers, firefighters should also be professionalized, so that they can learn more in-depth professional knowledge and accumulate experience, and no longer have to worry about losing a large number of talents due to military retirement.
The second is to integrate resources, so that fire and other emergency rescue forces can better cooperate together to deal with various emergencies, such as fires, floods and other disasters, so that the emergency response speed and treatment effect of the whole country will be greatly improved.
Finally, although firefighters are no longer soldiers, they will have corresponding salary and career development guarantees as civil servants, so that everyone can engage in this profession with peace of mind and provide professional fire safety services for the society for a long time.
In general, the withdrawal of the fire brigade from the armed police establishment is to make the fire fighting work more professional and efficient, and to establish a modern emergency rescue system that can not only protect everyone's safety but also develop in a sustainable and stable manner.
