What is the policy of fire control work?

The principle of fire control work in China is "prevention first, combining prevention with elimination". Fires can be prevented. "Prevention first" means putting fire prevention in the first place in the guiding ideology of fire control work.

"Combination of prevention and extinguishing" means that in the practice of fire fighting, we should organically combine the two basic means of fire fighting-prevention and extinguishing, that is, prevention and extinguishing, and strengthen the construction of fire fighting team while doing all kinds of fire prevention work (such as supervision, inspection, audit, publicity, etc.). ). It is necessary to strengthen the revolutionization, regularization and modernization of the professional fire brigade (that is, the public security fire brigade), and pay close attention to the construction of full-time fire brigades in enterprises and institutions and voluntary fire brigades of the masses, ready to put out the fire at any time, so that once a fire breaks out, it can be put out promptly, quickly and effectively, and the casualties and property losses caused by the fire can be minimized.

"Prevention" and "elimination" are complementary and indispensable. Both "emphasizing the elimination and neglecting the prevention" and "emphasizing the prevention and neglecting the elimination" are one-sided. "Prevention" and "elimination" are two means under the same goal. Only by comprehensively and correctly understanding the dialectical relationship between them and conscientiously implementing them in practice can we achieve the purpose of effective fire fighting.
