In recent years, new technologies, processes, and materials have been widely used in various industries, posing a serious challenge to fire protection technology due to the accumulation of fire hazards and the constant emergence of fires and their hazards. According to statistics, in the past three years, the fire rescue teams in Guangdong Province have received an average of more than 50000 fire alarms per year, accounting for 35% -40% of the total number of alarms throughout the year. In addition, fires in "high-low and large-scale" places and deaths from small fires have occurred from time to time.
Therefore, on April 20th, the General Office of the People's Government of Guangdong Province issued the "Emergency Plan for Sudden Fire Accidents in Guangdong Province" (Yue Ban Han [2022] No. 58) (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan")
The "Plan" specifies that fire alarms are classified into five levels based on the severity and impact of disasters and accidents, with levels one to five from low to high. The danger level is represented by five colors: green, blue, yellow, orange, and red. Emergency response is divided into four levels, with level I being the highest and level IV being the lowest. Emergency response is usually initiated step by step from lower levels to higher levels, and can also be initiated beyond the level depending on the situation. If necessary, higher-level response can be directly initiated.
The interpretation of the 'Plan' is as follows:
1、 Background of the Preparation of the Plan
(1) Adapt to the needs of the new era's fire strategy positioning. In the new era, there should be a new atmosphere and new achievements. Strengthening the construction of fire fighting capabilities is the mission and loyalty of fire rescue teams at all levels and all fire fighters.
(2) Adapting to the needs of firefighting and rescue work in the new situation. With the development of the economy and society, new technologies, new processes, and new materials are widely used in various industries. The hidden dangers of fires are superimposed, and fires and their hazards continue to increase. According to statistics, in the past three years, the fire rescue teams in the province have received an average of more than 50000 fire alarms per year, accounting for about 35% -40% of the total number of alarms throughout the year. In addition, fires and small fire fatalities in "high-low and large-scale" places occur from time to time. Due to institutional reforms and adjustments in the functions of relevant government departments, it is necessary to develop a special fire plan, clarify the functions and tasks of each department, give full play to the government's overall coordination role, standardize the system, and ensure that firefighting and rescue work has rules and regulations to follow.
(3) Adapt to the needs of the emergency plan system in the new era. The significant changes in the emergency management system and mechanism have put forward new and higher requirements for the reconstruction of the emergency plan system. The overall plan for provincial emergency disaster and accident rescue has been revised. The fire rescue team was originally part of the military organization, and the preparation of contingency plans was incorporated into the unified management of the troops. After the restructuring and transfer of the fire rescue team, in accordance with the relevant requirements for contingency plan composition in the "Guangdong Province Emergency Plan Management Measures", a fire accident emergency plan should be prepared, a sound emergency plan system should be further established, and a new mechanism for fire fighting work should be improved.
2、 Basis for Preparation of the Plan
The preparation of this "Plan" is mainly based on the "Emergency Response Law of the People's Republic of China", "Work Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", "Fire Protection Law of the People's Republic of China", "Regulations on Reporting and Investigating Production Safety Accidents", "Guangdong Province Emergency Response Regulations", "Guangdong Province Implementation Measures of the Fire Protection Law of the People's Republic of China", "Management Measures for Emergency Plans for Emergencies", "Implementation Measures for Fire Safety Responsibility System", "Classification Regulations for Fire Alarm and Emergency Rescue", "Internal Affairs Regulations for National Comprehensive Fire Rescue Teams", "Guangdong Province Emergency Response Plan for Emergencies", "Management Measures for Emergency Plans for Emergencies in Guangdong Province" and other laws, regulations, normative documents and relevant institutional provisions.
3、 Main content of the 'Plan'
(1) Framework of the Plan
The Plan is divided into 8 aspects, including general provisions, firefighting and rescue command institutions and responsibilities, emergency preparedness, emergency response, post event disposal, emergency support, supervision and management, and supplementary provisions.
(2) Key points of the 'Plan'
1. The overall positioning meets the needs of firefighting and rescue. This "Plan" is a guiding document for provincial governments to respond to sudden fire accidents. It is an overall institutional arrangement that elaborates on the purpose, basis, and scope of application of the "Plan" in terms of general principles. It clarifies the principles of fire fighting work and the emergency plan system for fire accidents. Each chapter focuses on the development of detailed provisions for fire fighting work. The "Plan" has strong directionality and practicality, and meets the current needs of fire fighting work.
2. The organizational composition and functional tasks are clear. The provincial firefighting and rescue command center is established in a timely manner based on the fire alarm level and the needs of firefighting work. It has offices and working groups, with the office located in the provincial firefighting and rescue headquarters. During wartime, each working group and member unit of the command center takes the lead in carrying out various aspects of firefighting work according to their responsibilities and tasks. In peacetime, the office coordinates with relevant units and departments to prepare for daily firefighting and rescue work. The 'Plan' clarifies the firefighting and rescue functions and tasks of 23 member units, ensuring that in the event of a fire accident, the command center and member units can respond quickly.
3. The entire emergency response process is reasonable and standardized. According to the requirements of preparation in advance, response during the event, and disposal after the event, we will regularly carry out emergency duty, fire alarm acceptance, and fire prevention work. Based on the severity and impact of the fire accident, we will divide it into five levels of fire alarm standards, benchmark the overall emergency response plan response standards, and develop four levels of emergency response measures and specific response action procedures. After the event, we will propose requirements for on-site cleaning, investigation and statistics, accident assessment, and resettlement compensation to ensure the effective implementation of the entire process of firefighting and rescue work.
4. Specific emergency support and supervision management. Based on the characteristics of fire accidents, propose support content and responsible parties from five aspects: team support, material support, communication support, technical support, and other support. Emphasize the construction of mechanisms such as practical exercises, joint logistics linkage, and publicity and training, clarify responsibilities, rewards and punishments, and relevant requirements for the management of the contingency plan, and enhance the effectiveness of the implementation of the contingency plan.
4、 Main features of the 'Plan'
(1) The elements are complete and highly consistent with the overall plan. According to the requirements of the "Management Measures for Emergency Plans for Sudden Incidents in Guangdong Province" and with reference to the provisions of the "Overall Emergency Plan for Sudden Incidents in Guangdong Province", the content of the "Emergency Plan for Sudden Fire Accidents in Guangdong Province" has been developed item by item. The contents of the plan are within the framework of the overall plan, and the elements of each chapter are complete. The overall structure complies with the rules for the preparation of special plans.
(2) Clear organization and corresponding to firefighting and rescue tasks. The preparation of the "Plan" revolves around the tasks of the fire extinguishing and rescue center, covering the scope of application, work principles, organizational structure, pre disaster preparation, in disaster response, post disaster disposal, as well as various guarantees and operational management. The chapters and clauses of the "Plan" have a clear hierarchical structure and are gradually adapted to the tasks of each stage of fire extinguishing and rescue, with strong operability.
(3) Based on sufficient evidence and consistent with the provisions and regulations. The preparation of the "Plan" referred to a total of 12 laws, regulations, institutional provisions, and departmental normative documents currently being implemented at the national and provincial levels. All the contents of the 8 chapters of the "Plan" can be found in the referenced documents, and the formulation of the "Plan" clauses is legal and compliant.
(4) Unique innovation, highly in line with the characteristics of fire accidents. Taking into full consideration the frequent and widespread occurrence of fire accidents, the office of the fire extinguishing and rescue command center will be set up as a working organization to regularly coordinate various units and departments to prepare for fire extinguishing and rescue work. After a fire occurs, corresponding level standards will be established, and a provincial fire extinguishing and rescue command center will be established in a timely manner to meet the needs of fire extinguishing and rescue work. At the same time, through long-term fire prevention and extinguishing work practice by fire rescue agencies, a fire accident emergency plan system that is in line with the actual situation of our province has been summarized and established. The plan system has a wide coverage and complete types.
