On Chinese New Year's Eve, the streets and alleys are filled with fires and silver flowers, and every household is lit up. At the moment of the reunion of thousands of families, a duty team of the Jinhai Lake Fire and Rescue Station in Pinggu District, Beijing is on duty in front of the street.

In the middle of the night, the outdoor temperature was more than ten degrees Celsius below zero, and the fire commanders and fighters of the vehicle group on duty stuck to their posts, ready for battle, and were ready at all times. Nearby, a woman looked out the window from her home and saw the flashing lights of a fire truck and the figure of a firefighter.

After a while, the enthusiastic lady brought the freshly cooked dumplings and a few plates of stir-fried vegetables to the fire truck team on duty, so that the fire commanders and fighters also felt the care from their families on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Don't look at these firefighters, they are all tough guys who are experienced in battles and are not afraid of danger, but when they took over this plate of dumplings, they all showed a shy smile.

Hurry up and eat it, it's not good if it's cold. The enthusiastic lady reminded. The fire commanders and fighters moved their chopsticks one after another, and said while eating, "This dumpling is so delicious, I have been a firefighter for 5 years, and I am on duty at night in Chinese New Year's Eve, this is the first time I eat dumplings on duty, as if I have returned home!" ”

Listening to the words of the firefighters, the enthusiastic lady hurriedly said: "If you like to eat, eat more, take care of enough!" These simple words and steaming dumplings warm the hearts of every firefighter who is in a foreign land and sticks to his post in the cold night.

The Pinggu District Fire and Rescue Detachment will set up fixed duty points in the main blocks and commercial outlets in the jurisdiction on Chinese New Year's Eve every year. In addition, during the festival, mobile duty teams will be deployed in key areas to maximize the deployment of forces to the streets to ensure that the danger can be dealt with in the first time, and to ensure that the residents in the jurisdiction can spend the festival with peace of mind, so as to create a safe and peaceful festival atmosphere for the people to celebrate the Spring Festival.
