Fire Comments: Nothing is easier than the truth to explain the problem (Taiwan King Peng fire)

It took a lot of time to list the issue of Jing Peng’s fire, which I wanted to clarify, because " Nothing can be further from the truth ," but I saw many people rely on their imagination to start answering questions. Even taking the wind direction is not objective and it will not help improve the future.

I think everyone is eager to know the answer. I also want to know the answer, but I really don’t want to make a claim before the truth is unclear. Just as a reporter had just called me: "The media reported that you couldn't withdraw from the water because of the large machinery pressing down the waterline. Your opinion."

"I don't want to comment. Don't ask me because there are so many problems that I haven't clarified. I'm directly determined that I can't escape and relate to water cuts. It's not my style. I'm curious where this information comes from."

"Today, print media have reported that the fire brigade said."

"Who said the fire brigade? Does this person understand all the fire situations?

At the very least, when I heard this message, I immediately thought that several issues needed to be clarified. When did the interruption occur? If it is 36 minutes before the 22 (because 22 found lost contact 36 minutes), that there may be some impact? If it is after 22 and 36 minutes of it? Total blocked several waterlines? At that time, there were several lines in total? Which waterline is carried by these colleagues? Is there no other way except the retreat along the waterline? When the scene retreats, what are the crises? Unusually dangerous and ever-changing causes of death in the fire are simply pushed to the machine to block the waterline. I really can't agree with it, and I can't comment on it with limited information. ”

"Then I would like to ask again, is it not enough for the disaster relief personnel?

"I'm sorry, I can't explain this issue. What is the crisis awareness? How many crises are there in the fire? Do you know that even if there is a sense of crisis, can we really respond to all the fire changes? If the firefighters are desecrated, everyone will go. Is it fair to review firefighters' sense of crisis? Is it fair? Is this reasonable? This fire site must be reviewed properly, but it is not such a populist, dogmatic statement.

I think the firefighter's thinking about disaster relief has room for discussion. Just like every time I teach a safety course on the fire, I will ask the firefighters: If you are on duty today, you suddenly have a fever, you have a splitting headache, and you feel sleepy. Fire service, will you attend?

The answer most people tell me is: Yes, even if you have a fever, you will attend.

This is not a crisis awareness. This is a firefighter's blood, because no one can replace the firefighter's job. Of course, this type of illness requires attendance thinking and can be discussed.

This is not merely a firefighter's blood. There are many institutional issues behind it. For example, a lack of manpower. Today, a fire partner does not attend, it may not be able to perform many tasks, so everyone based on the love of his colleagues, often put his illness Placed outside. Sorry, I do not want to answer this question, nor will I answer this question. ”

Taking this pen to this point, I hope that everyone will not leave a message to blame the reporter. I think this is his job, but at least he is willing to ask me instead of listening to what he says.

I would like to stress once again that this fire of Jing Peng. Do not rush to explain to everyone before the truth has been clarified, because the answer to anxious chapters is really unreliable. When many people talk about retreating along the waterline, I wonder if they have been trained. Do you know how to withdraw along the waterline? Know how far the three waterlines are and how long it takes to train to retreat? What should I do if I know that the water is not full? What should I do when I know that when I retreat, I encounter a staggered waterline overlap? ...

Organize a team well, thoroughly check the scene, reconstruct and simulate the fire, understand the disaster relief process, examine the past education, examine the fire-fighting equipment..., and clarify the truth. Do not let the imagination obscure the truth.

What else can we do after being graciously relieved?

(Note: If you are a firefighter, you will be dealt with the maximum amount. The maximum amount of pension is about NT$ 22 million.)

Fire Asia , held in Hong Kong in 2015 , was honored to be invited to give a speech. I told experts from all over the world about fire disasters in Kaohsiung. I said, “This is a disaster that Taiwan has never encountered before. The staff has done their best to deal with it. They have handled it very well, but the prevention and relief are not the best. Only better. Today I just want to share with you the experience and lessons we learned in Kaohsiung’s gas explosion. Right and wrong, just talk about what to do in the future."

From the Kaohsiung gas explosion and the new house bowling fire to the tragic accident of Taoyuan Jing Peng, we have lost 19 firefighters. After the disaster, we can see a wide variety of surging reviews and we can see all levels of officials coming out. It is deeply saddening to explain that it must be reviewed and improved.

I believe that these officers have their hearts and made many changes, but I also care more about whether they can do better.

After each fire, many people always advocated to increase the personal safety equipment of the firefighters. However, several people really learned about the latest technology that protects firefighters.

At the beginning of this year, a team of American researchers who researched the safety equipment of firefighters came to me. She said that NIST held a competition in the United States . Their team had already passed the preliminary round. She hoped to understand the real danger factors of the fire field in order to design truly useful equipment.

We spent a lot of time discussing it. I told her the information I provided today. If I help you to win the game, I hope that you must give us back these development achievements so that our firefighters can be as safe as the American firefighters in providing disaster relief. More secure.

When firefighters enter the fire, the most important thing is to master the changes in the fire. Your current design is to install an AR glasses in the mask . In the field of fire control, I hope this AR glasses can display the temperature of the fire, smoke concentration, flow rate, visibility, obstacles and potholes on the route.

In terms of personnel safety, I hope it can monitor the physical condition, location, route of travel, pressure on the cylinders, and emergencies of disaster relief personnel.

In emergency relief, I hope that it must consider that people cannot move, and when they can't call the radio, they can use other methods to send messages for help.

In early March, the team also developed some of the features originally discussed, including the AR glasses with eyes fixed on one fixed point, we can send out a distress signal, if the person unconscious, eyes closed for some time, also issued a distress call, People move abnormally quickly. If they suddenly fall or fall, they can also send out distress signals. These designs also help them to enter the finals that will be held this June .

This is the first thing I want to say. When we want to improve, we really know how to improve. If we don't know where the good things are, many suggestions for improvement will only be on paper and we will not end.

Do you know good things and are willing to buy them? Can you afford it? This is the second thing I want to talk about.

When everyone hopes to improve the rescue equipment for firefighters, how many people do not know whether the budget of the fire department of each county or city is decreasing year by year, or whether it will increase year by year? How many of the government's forward-looking plan of 880 billion have helped improve fire fighting equipment? If the firefighting budget is declining year by year, there are even better things that can only be done in the blink of an eye and drooling. As a member of fire fighting, I don’t want to pay lip service to the sadness and sadness. I want to give me more money. Let me really buy good things.

The third thing, really review to the point?

At the King Peng fire, everyone began to recall the new house bowling alley fire. Today, everyone knows exactly how the new fire in Taoyuan was burned? Do you know how long it takes for this fire to start burning and to cause deflagration or flashing? How long after the fire is known, firefighters will be obscured by smoke and become blind? Has anyone re-simulated this fire? Too many people don't know that it will lead to a review that is just an irritating remedy.

Similarly for the fire in Jingpeng, the government is willing to spend a few million to simulate the fire process. If you do not want to, more review of the help of firefighters is also limited.

I feel that in the face of so many unfortunate incidents of firefighters' misconduct, I really want to avoid the recurrence of tragedies. Is it possible to change my thinking and I do not need to rush to explain to everyone? I really hope that someone will be willing to pay for a solid team. Discussion, re-simulation of the fire, to understand all the changes in the fire, when the situation can not be seen from the appearance, is not it represents no danger?

The appearance has already had the condition, does the representative not enter? What conditions can enter, what conditions should not enter? Where should firefighters enter? Is it the safest route?

When we talk about whether there is still room for improvement in command and dispatch, shouldn't we first clarify these issues? Simply talking about nobody being trapped, firefighters don't want to enter, or obviously know that it's dangerous. Even if someone is trapped, they shouldn't call firefighters to enter. These are emotional arguments. We need scientific discourse. The answer, and then the planning of the corresponding strategy, should be a more helpful approach, and it is the real guarantee for the safety of firefighters.

After the Jing Peng fire, an existing fire-fighting partner is very helpless to tell me that this will not be the last time. The team leader we expect you to take us out of the predicament and listen to it well, but I also have to admit that he is telling the truth .

This is also the reason why I could not sleep all night. I have always hoped that these tragedies will not happen again, I really want to do more to change things, but unfortunately I still find most of my budding partners on the Internet. Reports on the lives of the burial films and some of the media, as well as explanations of the ten million pensions available to firefighters after their death.

I think that this information does not help the tragedy at all, but it can't find any useful information because we can't find any in-depth review of the literature and report. Under this phenomenon, no one would dare to ensure that the firefighters' chances of dereliction of duty in the future will be met. reduce.

I think that all the reviews should be prescriptive. I will try my best to find the answer. I also look forward to the incumbent officer and exert greater influence. I am determined to reduce casualties. In addition to advance prevention and education enhancement, I shall be more substantive and Long-term budget support, emulation for money, equipment for money, education and training for money, and manpower increase the need for money. It also hopes that representatives of all levels of public opinion will be able to support it and spend it on their own needs. It is not a pension after death. Every firefighter can live to take care of the family and it is the goal of this effort.
