They shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the safety of people's lives and property, and are always ready to rush into the fire scene and rescue the disaster area. However, in recent years, China's fire and rescue team is facing the problem of difficulty in recruiting and retaining people. This article will delve into the reasons behind this phenomenon and take you through the challenges and dilemmas of this profession.
1. Occupational characteristics of fire and rescue personnel.
The work of a fire rescue worker is high-risk, high-intensity, and stressful. They need to be on high alert at all times and ready to respond to any kind of emergency. In fire rescue, fire rescuers often face life and death tests, and the effort and sacrifice often exceed those of other professions.
