Free Web NovelChapter 493: Chapter 395 Making a Mountain out of a Molehill_2
"How is there not a distinction?"
"Don’t worry too much. For us, the Fish Hook represents service quality while, in fact, the Lance we must face is safety assurance.
What’s the policy of firefighting work?
Safety first, prevention as the main strategy, combined prevention and firefighting—this means that accidents are inevitable. As long as we face accidents properly and do what we should, that’s enough. The essence of the guiding articles is that it’s impossible for there to be no incidents at all. When something happens, just choose the correct approach to deal with it.
If I were as anxious as you are, I would be frantic by now."
This was no exaggeration.
When Fang Huai was reborn, he had grand ambitions to change this and change that, but as time went on, he slowly began to understand that so many things happened every day, but how could he possibly change them all?
During the 512 period, in fact, there was also a major car accident in Anshun Village; in his previous life, he had responded to the emergency call, and it was terribly tragic.
But in this life, if he went to Sichuan, could he still take care of that?
If he really had to take care of everything, he feared he would only tear himself apart.
Living again, just doing some major things well isn’t easy, let alone having the capability to take care of so many details.
After a while, Hu Peizhou sighed deeply and asked:
"Then what do you think constitutes safety assurance?"
Fang Huai counted off on his fingers, "Conduct thorough hidden danger inspections, respond promptly to alerts, extinguish fires with all our might, and deal with foreign-related incidents fairly and civilly."
He continued, "Besides that, just fulfill the mission of our army."
Hu Peizhou was stunned by these words, then he slowly nodded his head and smiled.
...
The next day, July 28th.
Early in the morning.
Everyone dressed neatly, wearing their respective ID badges, stood spiritedly outside the dormitory hall, waiting for assignments.
Hu Peizhou, holding a notebook, began to allocate the service venues for everyone.
"Group one, Number 1, Number 3, Number 11, Number 20, Lin Chong, National Sports Stadium!"
The three people called out were envied by others.
The venue for the Opening of the Olympics!
They could watch the programs! It was also the site for athletics and football events, the most important place! Moreover, they were there to ensure the opening went smoothly—that was their main priority.
"Group two, Number 6, Number 8, Number 15, National Swimming Center."
Tsk tsk, the Water Cube.
Not bad either, they could watch swimming and diving teams rehearse.
Guo Jingjing!
Jiang Wenwen, Jiang Tingting!
The others... were also beautiful—no, also excellent!
"Group three, Number 23, Number 26, Number 33, National Gymnasium."
National Sports Stadium and National Gymnasium—a letter’s difference yet two different places, one the Bird’s Nest, the other a big folding fan.
Also good, they could watch gymnastics rehearsals.
...
Apart from the three major venues, several other venues near the Olympic Park were also assigned personnel, more or less.
As for those farther away, due to centralized management issues, they were not their responsibility.
"Our whole deployment time, starting from today, is twelve days! It ends on the morning of August 9th!
Everyone assigned to a venue, according to the arrangements of the Fire-fighting frontier command, will regularly visit to inspect and investigate hidden fire safety hazards, and coordinate with the Command’s communication checks and various system tests.
In the near future, some work of the BJ Team might call upon us."
Starting from five days before the opening, foreign guests and athletes would begin to arrive, and our main work areas would be inside the venues. There might also be some nearby venues, such as contracted restaurants, designated hospitals, Olympic Houses, and the like that would require strict checks. There might be other auxiliary work as well, like screening personnel. For specific content, follow the commands of each venue’s firefighting operation team.
Did everyone hear the arrangements loud and clear?"
"Loud and clear!!"
It was then that Hu Peizhou approached everyone, his voice becoming a bit gentler as he said:
"During patrols, you must also exemplify the spirit of our people’s soldiers. Aside from not accepting interviews or revealing any work-related information, if you encounter citizens in difficulty or other staff members in need, you should help them. If the safety of our people is threatened, I hope you will step forward without losing the precious qualities of our revolutionary soldiers because of your security status and work!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing these words, everyone’s faces broke into smiles.
That’s more like it. One moment they’re thoroughly checking this, the next they’re thoroughly checking that—it’d been putting a lot of psychological pressure on them.
We firefighters are here to serve the people!
"All teams, along with comrades from the BJ Team, proceed to your respective venues to familiarize yourselves with the situations!"
...
Yesterday, that lieutenant was responsible for leading them into the venue.
On their way to the Bird’s Nest, the group of five marched in a single file formation, their steps uniform.
All along the way, countless passersby watched; they all walked with heads held high and chests puffed out.
However, the words of a little girl nearly broke their defenses. freewebnovel.cσ๓
"Mommy, those security uncles are so neatly arranged! Just like the People’s Liberation Army uncles next door!"
Internally, everyone cursed.
Damn it, I knew these black uniforms looked a bit like security guards!
How cool would it be if we were wearing our regular military uniforms now?
The lieutenant in summer clothes noticed their displeasure and explained in a low voice:
"Our security personnel need to be differentiated from the Internal Guard for ease of command, besides, you are going inside the venue, where even the Internal Guard wears short sleeves with Olympic logos. Theirs... are even uglier."
This consolation was better than nothing, I guess.
But everyone accepted it.
Six entrances, each with at least four checkpoints.
The Bird’s Nest was definitely the venue with the strictest security.
However, not everyone was checked, as the verifications were random.
Last night, they had heard about an awesome incident.
There was a remarkable woman who had snuck into and out of the Bird’s Nest repeatedly, as if it was a place without people. After observing the People’s Armed Police security check procedures for a long time, she first entered with a group of children performing, and later on, with her plain and simple performing talents, she not only convinced the security staff that she was one of the venue’s workers, but she also brazenly borrowed a pen and boldly copied the schedule off the wall.
She had seen at least four or five iterations of the Olympic Games opening ceremony, including some programs that were later replaced.
After being reported by a suspicious staff member, the police arrested her. At her residence, they found a copy of Stanislavski’s "An Actor Prepares."
The reason for her secret entry into the venue was rather comical: she had a crush on one of the program’s directors and wanted to see him in the venue.
Traveling thousands of miles from Henan all for love, she demonstrated firsthand the challenge of breaching security, leading to an increased rotation policy in the security system—even familiar faces had to be checked.
With her abilities, to waste them on being love-struck was such a shame; she could have easily become a tactical instructor for a terrorist organization.
Entering the Bird’s Nest, the interior was resplendent.
Red carpets, gilded walls.
It hardly resembled the simplicity of the steel structure seen from the outside.
When they were about to head for the golden passageway’s elevator, the lieutenant stopped them.
"That way is for VIP guests; we’ll take the side one."

(I’m late coming back, I’ll write Chapter 2 tonight. Recently, starting from the training classes, content selection has always been a big problem for the author. Each Chapter creation takes over five or six hours, often writing and then deleting. It’s not that I don’t want to add Chapters, I just don’t have the capacity—please understand. Once back to the return journey Chapters, I’ll try to add more. I know how it feels, and I felt too embarrassed to even ask for votes at the beginning of the month with the double.）
