When is the 119 Fire Protection Awareness Day in 2017?

The 27th Fire Protection Day Publicity Day in 2017

Activity theme: Pay attention to fire protection, safety for you and me

Fire Protection Publicity Day

1992 In 2016, the Ministry of Public Security issued a notice designating November 9th each year as "119 Fire Protection Awareness Day". The purpose of carrying out this activity is because winter is a fire-prone season. In order to do a good job in winter fire prevention work, we took the "119 Fire Protection Awareness Day" as an opportunity to kick off winter prevention. "119 Fire Protection Awareness Day" refers to a period of time in which fire safety promotion activities with a wide range of content and various forms are carried out to improve the national fire safety awareness and promote the socialization of fire protection work.

The origin of the Awareness Day

The fire alarm number in our country was "09" in the past, because before the 1970s, our country's special communication number was "0". In the late 1970s, my country's communication service number was changed from "0" to "11". According to the requirements of standardized management, the fire alarm telephone number was unified as "119", which is the homophonic pronunciation of "want to save" in Chinese. Because "119" is my country's Fire Protection Awareness Day every year, this day has actually become my country's Fire Fighting Day.
