Orange

I talked with the Changzhou Assistants at the headquarters along the slope of the Seventh Branch Plant to the General Plant. Chang Assistant is the senior engineer in charge of the equipment at the headquarters. I have known for more than a decade. This is a small, pragmatic and modest supervisor. Organ colleagues. Unlike some of the leaders of the higher authorities, they are head-to-head.

I have been convinced that "you can't be arrogant, but you can't be arrogant," so when I was in charge of the big account, I didn't take the initiative to greet him. Just a friendly nod.

This road leading to the plant has a kilometer downhill slope of 5 °. The right-hand side of the road is a joint camp that drives the large accounts and communication, battlefield, and health services of the headquarters. The left-hand side is a campsite of rescue teams from Xinjiang, Tibet, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai.

Chang Assistant asked: Do you think that there is a problem with these equipment?

I said: An army unites ideas through unified clothing. You see we came to six rescue teams, wearing eight different style rescue suits, six different rescue boots, and two kinds of helmets. From this perspective, We are not a complete force, more like a guerrilla.

Chang Jia said that the headquarters is also considering the issue of uniforms, but it is difficult to determine the current standard.

I said that Wang Chong in the Eastern Han Dynasty had a saying in his book "Luoheng." Listening to the views of the grassroots is good for the development of our troops.

Orange is the main color of our rescue suits. In the Wenchuan earthquake, it was rendered by the media as a hope for life. Orange is a warm tone, and in most cases it is used to decorate the colors. When orange becomes the main color, the colors are too “jumping”. , People's visual fatigue, people feel irritated, so when this color is used as a garment fabric, it is mostly used for warning color. For example, the sanitation workers' clothing at night works in orange. It is also the color of women's clothing.

Why does China's fire and rescue service choose "orange" because it imitates Japan because the Japanese person's character is a combination of "ju" and "knife", and chrysanthemum is orange. Chrysanthemum is representative of the Japanese royal family.

The Chinese fire-fighting rescue beyond Chengdu is based on fire protection in Chengdu.

March 15, 1998, Chengdu fire in support of the municipal government, public commitment to the community "There disaster will deliver." At the time, this was only an individual behavior of a city. It did not cause too much attention on the upper level, because the previous "Zhangzhou 110 " was in full swing throughout the country. At that time, the scope of enforcement power of the fire brigade was not large and did not cause too much concern in the society. June 1998 and July, China's Yangtze River, Nenjiang, Songhua River floods suddenly encountered a hundred years, hundreds of thousands of PLA soldiers with body building became a wall of life, then orange is the color of soldiers who lifejacket At that time, there were almost no firefighters in the footage, because the main responsibility of the fire brigade at that time was to extinguish the fire. There is no special rescue suit.

September 21, 1999, Taiwan's Nantou County Richter 7.6 earthquake, earthquake rescue team sent a willingness to assist in the rescue of the Chinese government expressed to the Taiwan Red Cross, but was refused. Because there was no earthquake rescue team in China at that time, the relief work was mainly undertaken by the PLA, and Taiwan certainly would not agree to the entry of Chinese soldiers. The problem is very serious. There is a disaster on the land in China. The Chinese cannot go. A group of foreign rescue teams are assisting the rescue in Taiwan. Then, the "9.21" after the earthquake, the establishment of the National Earthquake Disaster Relief Team has been put on the agenda of the State Council. It is said that the National Seismological Bureau once had the intention to set up a national earthquake rescue team in the firefighting force. However, it was rejected by the leadership of that year. The main reason for the rejection was that our personnel strength and financial guarantees were often stretched. We did not have the strength to complete the rescue mission.

Afterwards, national policy funding made the head of the headquarters aware that we have lost an opportunity to develop and expand the fire brigade. Today we have to admit that the superiority of socialism lies in the fact that when the country decides to do something, it can mobilize a large amount of funds and personnel, and people can use one gun to do one thing. The procedures and speed of setting up a national rescue team were unusually fast. Eventually, the national earthquake rescue team was set up in an army Corps of the People's Liberation Army, and a great deal of equipment and opportunities for training abroad followed. Therefore, the fire brigades of our provinces and cities began to actively contact the Seismological Bureau to set up earthquake rescue teams in each province. In that year, the major military regions, the armed police corps and the fire brigade were all fighting for the earthquake rescue mission. Eventually, the fire brigade undertook support for the provincial earthquake relief team due to a great deal of rescue equipment and rescue experience. However, there are still some provinces where the work is not in place. Armed police forces seized the banner of the earthquake rescue team.

Probably around 2000, the headquarters was held in Chengdu "Chengdu conference" to promote the experience of Chengdu, China formally committed to the community fire brigade, "the police will be out there, there are disaster will deliver, there will grab insurance, enthusiastic service," the 16-character principle.

Almost during the same period, Chinese fire protection and Japanese fire protection had a technical cooperation. The Japanese instructor trained rope rescue technology at the fire training base in Daxing, Beijing. That year, I participated in a three-month rescue technical training. We wear camouflage. The Japanese instructors wear what we now commonly see as orange rescue suits. However, unlike our rescue suits, Japanese rescue suits have no decorative pockets and no reflective belts. They are just Elbow, shoulders, knees and other places that may be loaded and rubbed have a thick wear layer. However, now our rescue suits do not have these key designs. Maybe afterwards, commercial competition will be canceled by manufacturers. At the time, rescue suits were supported by white helmets, brown leather belts and black canvas soft-soled rescue shoes.

May 12, 2008, earthquake, fire brigade ten thousand on Chinese rescue team into the disaster area to save lives. At that time, the Chinese fire had ten years of experience in various types of disaster relief and also had a large number of tools for demolition, roof bracing and lifting. In the past decade, the elites of Chinese firefighters have also been in Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other foreign countries many times. The training institutions carried out related earthquake rescue training. Their theory and experience far exceeded that of other units. The Wenchuan earthquake was actually an opportunity for the Chinese people to understand the strength of the fire brigade. The media at all levels focused on the frontline firefighters, and the Wenchuan earthquake made fire rescue work. Work to the extreme.

Wenchuan Earthquake, there was a word on the TV when Premier Wen mobilized the air force. "I'm just saying, the people are raising you, you guys figure it out!" Then, the Prime Minister fell to the phone and looked melancholy. At that time, the initiative of the passive and fire-fighting forces that mobilized the army was a contrast. This allowed the fire brigade to have ample display in this major disaster relief.

April 14, 2010, Yushu in Qinghai Province on the Richter 7.1 earthquake, the rescue headquarters mobilized has extensive experience in the earthquake relief Yushu go inland a few corps, we have to reflect today, mistakes in Yushu mobilize At that time, we only considered mobilizing experienced troops to participate in the rescue, but did not consider too much of the physiological responses brought about by the rescue of the plateau. This has nothing to do with the will to combat. According to the people's point of view, the Yushu earthquake is: One party is in trouble, and the other party is quaking. We only saw the coastal firefighters carrying advanced rescue tools and search and rescue dogs on their way to Yushu, but they did not see dingy and sickness after the coastal troops arrived at Yushu. The departed. At that time, he was responsible for liaison work with the people. The commanders of the various corps who had contacted him on the first day were very eager to receive the task. On the second day, the individual corps commanders who had contacted him were eagerly asked to leave Yushu because many came from Firefighters on the beach did not adapt to the altitude sickness and lay down. Even the rescue dogs are puffing on the ground. Climate contrasts and altitude sickness caused many firefighters on the beach to catch a cold. It is a life-threatening event to catch a cold at the plateau.

At the time, the most we saw on television were orange rescue suits and military camouflage clothing, but some rescue suits were printed with the logo of certain military regions. The People's Liberation Army mobilized the plateau troops to reinforce Yushu. A large number of relief supplies and rescue teams blocked the road leading to Yushu. Many reinforcements of the fire-fighting forces received orders to evacuate. The Gujie Town in the disaster area has a permanent population of 23,000 . The number of rescue workers entering the disaster area exceeds this number.

Regarding the Yushu earthquake, I talked to a commander from Beijing. The senior colleague satirized me and I couldn’t touch the edges. I said that I was slipping through the basic seams. You slipped through the seams of the ceiling. We Will never be in a line.

August 7, 2010, Zhouqu County, Gansu Province, large debris flow occurred, from the media to the network, the fire brigade shadow less, and some news reports on the Internet Zhouqu relief: "In every corner of the Zhouqu county, are The rescue personnel wearing green uniforms can be seen.In the flood discharge ditch where mudslides occurred and the damaged houses on both sides, the reporter saw many People's Liberation Army soldiers being rescued and looking for missing persons.Many thousands of liberated policemen had no time to rest and they were put to disaster relief. Among the ranks of emergency rescuers, Xu Jiaming, a political commissar of the People's Liberation Army that arrived from Wuwei, Gansu Province, led the 1,100 officers and soldiers to Zhouqu at noon on the 8th , and they returned to the site from the disaster relief work in Yushu, Qinghai Province on the 7th .” There were no orange firefighters.

The establishment of the image of the fire brigade is greatly influenced by the fact that the fire itself has attached great importance to the publicity work. The CCTV News has basically marked “firefighting contributors” on the content of firefighting. The reason is that when we dispatched, the first car was equipped with a video camera. The camera was originally designed to avoid possible legal disputes. Now it is timely propaganda, and even some places have reached an extreme, and propaganda is more important than rescue. Every year from the top down, we ask for more drafts from the national television station and how many drafts by the provincial TV station. There are no demands on the local resident television station and the media. The cart before the horse has to make our propaganda pursuit of “high, large, and up-to-date” and weaken the true connotation of firefighting propaganda.

If we have an important position in the rescue of major disasters that may occur in the future, we must adhere to the road of specialization. In the event of major disaster relief, the firefighters should assume the role of “tips” rather than “sharp knives”. Because we can't compare human strength with PLA troops, we can't compare with large-scale construction machinery and armed police engineering forces.

In a strict sense, we still do not have a complete disaster relief system. In all types of disaster relief, the fire brigade can only be subordinated. Even in the face of disaster relief, the importance of fire protection is second only to civil affairs, military, armed police, and public security. Transportation, and even the sorting of seating in various types of emergency meetings are not in the first row. The practice of “being arrogant” has made this unit of our army a panacea. Wherever we need to wipe it, it wipes too much. Instead, we criticize public opinion for being unprofessional. Professionalism has even become the subject of public opinion in the past two years. The brilliance of Wenchuan Earthquake relief is leaving us. Two thousand years ago in the Han Dynasty, the fire fighting work was part of the main “water, fire, burglary, and bustling” public security business. At present, we are still a part of the public security business. We are in a good position to be strong and selfless. The key lies.

Specialization should begin with our rescue clothing. The Orange is a deaf "fool" in some local dialects in China. Orange is a warm color, a festive color, a rich color. Adding a little bit of black to the orange will make it a charred color. As a rescue suit, it will be slightly dirty and difficult to clean as it meets the gray and black spot on the spot. From a psychological point of view, when the slaughterhouse of a tall building sees orange, it will make them feel more restless.

In the past two years, we have given up the use of Japanese-style spiral rescue ropes. It is not that such ropes are not suitable for China. It is the quality of China's imitation but the firefighters have fallen from their buildings. At present, we are using European-standard mountaineering gear and ropes. Rescue boots also gave up Japanese-style canvas shoes. We began to use European-standard puncture-resistent heavy rescue boots, and the Japanese-style rescue white helmets also came. The less you start using an American rescue helmet, the orange rescue suit that has been “improved” is still being used. How long will the costume be worn?

The color with the largest contrast with orange is blue, so now Japan's rescue service has changed to a blue-orange matching two-color, the world's general rescue service is basically a blue one-piece costume, police and ambulance lights are generally blue, Most police clothing in most countries is also blue. One of the important reasons is that blue has the meaning of courage, calmness, reason, melancholy, and never giving up. Our cap badge consists of three colors: gold, red, and blue. Gold represents glory, red represents vitality, and blue represents courage.

In 2014 , I took the team to participate in the 26- nation fire fighting and rescue technique contest held in Kazakhstan . Except for China, this is a dazzling orange. The players in other countries are all blue rescue suits. I feel very spiritual. There is no extra decoration except for the one-piece logo. The design of this kind of clothing is very scientific, because the firefighters enter the scene of the disaster. The shoulder straps, pockets, hem, and shoelaces on the clothing are most likely to be caught in the ruins during the ascent or descent. Sometimes the distance between life and death may be only one step, so the scientific design of rescue clothes is not only beautiful and practical, but should also be reflected in the safety and efficiency. The rescue clothing we are wearing is the product of the most priced suppliers in the bids of the local fire brigade. The prices are not as expensive as the T -shirts of big shopping centers , so the manufacturers are different and their appearances are different.

In that year, the kind of rescue clothing worn by Japanese instructors was a kind of anti-static and non-absorbent clothing fabric. The fabric had very thin metal wires. And our copy of the rescue suit is a kind of ordinary cotton fabric dyed in orange. The imitation also only simulates one appearance and color. This may be a common problem in developing countries. If there is something in this world that is "affordable", it can only be a dinner made by her mother. We have to spend more on the price and on the personal protective equipment for firefighters. We would rather spend more than we can and we should not be cheap because life cannot be measured by price.

At that time in Kazakhstan, many subjects were dangerous to set up. I once said to my rescue team that you are in the eyes of others, a grain of sand and a grass. It is insignificant, but you are the parent's day at home, the pillar of your wife and children, and our troops do not need you as a hero. My request to you is to go out safely and come back safely, so before each setback, wear your gear, tie your shoelaces, fasten your belt, tighten your helmet belt, only protective equipment becomes you A part of the body can effectively protect your safety. Don't talk about being responsible for the organization. Honoring the country. First, be responsible for yourself and be responsible for the family. This is the responsibility of the organization.

Although the casualties of rescue workers caused by unprotected garments are low probability events, the Heine's law tells us that accidents were cumulatively caused by minor accidents and small accidents.

Can the cheap orange rescue clothes we wear be responsible for the lives of our rescue workers at crucial moments?

Chang said, you mean, give up orange. I said yes, the Phoenix Nirvana will be reborn. When Chang and I retired along the highway, the assistant began to experience mild altitude sickness. This reaction has nothing to do with physical fitness. It has nothing to do with age. It has nothing to do with gender. It is only related to the latitude and altitude of the living area.

Chang Chang said, go and go to my camp. I would like to hear your views on other rescue tools.
