How has the reform affected the fire brigade?

First of all, from the change in salutation, "fire officers and soldiers" will become synonymous with history in the country and will be replaced by "firefighters." We know that the firefighting force belongs to the active public security forces and is included in the armed police sequence. Through this restructuring, the public security firefighting force and the armed forestry force will be replaced by the new emergency management department. It can be determined that the fire officers and soldiers are on duty. Preparation will be cancelled.

Next, it is change of source of firefighters from the future. At present, there are three types of firefighters in China: armed police firefighting units, policemen, and specialized firefighters. The first is active servicemen, the second is civil servants, and the third is different. Some of them are company establishments and some are not prepared. . After that, an important source of firefighters' sources will be social recruitment, which means that firefighters will become a profession.

Here is the American professional firefighter system. There are more than 300,000 firefighters in the United States. According to the US Department of Labor, 90% of them are professional firefighters. After graduating from high school, ordinary U.S. citizens can apply for firefighters. Qualified individuals from all fields will enter the Fire Academy (university) to study and receive professional training. After graduation, they will become official fire fighters. The author believes that professional firefighters in China will, to a certain extent, refer to the American professional firefighter system.

In the end, the firemen and soldiers pay attention to the salaries and benefits. According to experts, firefighters will receive better and better treatment after the fire system is transformed. In Europe and the United States, firefighters are very respectable occupations. The institutional reform plan also clearly stated that it is necessary to formulate a series of job ranks and management methods that are in line with its own characteristics and improve professional honor. This is enough to see that the process of formulating the institutional reform plan has fully taken into account these.
