Chapter 560: Chapter 432 I Specialize in Playing Against the Wind_2
As for the maintenance and upkeep of firefighting equipment afterward, it primarily falls upon the neighborhood office, residents’ committee, and property management to be specifically responsible for inspections. If problems arise and are not rectified, one can seek penalties from the joint firefighting police station, but the responsibility for maintenance inspections cannot be entirely thrown on the shoulders of the fire department.
The squadron has to manage police dispatches and training; how few people are there in a firefighting regiment agency?
To constantly monitor tens of thousands of high-rise buildings and tens of thousands of firefighting equipment and products in your jurisdiction without issues would run you ragged, and you’d still be overwhelmed with work.
The fire department can only conduct spot checks; these spot checks actually test the quality of local fire safety overseers. The detailed work must still be done on the local level.
In every process, responsibilities must be clear; one must only take on what one is capable of handling. One must never bite off more than one can chew, having power but being unclear about the work involved.
Cao Yi had discussed this with him before, worried that his ideas would give too much and too varied powers to the fire department. He simply laughed it off. The most crucial power of building acceptance, he had no plans to keep, nor would he, it was just a matter of sooner or later.
Without that part, what remains is nothing more than walking towards becoming more professional in the disaster prevention sector. No matter how much power is involved, it doesn’t stress him out at all.
So, bring on the promotions.
...
This Martial Arts Competition involved many group exercises, and the preparation time was also quite long.
The entire competition format spanned only three days, but no one talked about this dark horse or that white horse regarding the individual championship anymore.
This matter, everybody was cursing about.
Damn, the final event of the individual Firefighting Ironman contest was supposed to start only the next afternoon, yet on the first morning, the first place in the individual overall competition was already determined; can you believe it?
It was everyone’s first time participating in such a competition.
But they could only admit defeat.
Never mind that each of his three achieved scores was a record, one of which was a national record.
Even for the one event Fang Huai didn’t set a record in, the Four Hundred Meters Supplies Evacuation, there was no one confident enough to claim they could consistently break into the 1 minute 13 seconds mark, it was only a small group of hard-core guys who had gotten close to that number when they were in top form.
Even if someone did surpass Fang Huai in that event, they had no real reason to be proud.
Because he was doing all four events consecutively.
Within half an hour.
Everyone who heard this news could only bitterly spit out a phrase that expressed their frustration.
This fellow has blocked every excuse for everyone else’s mediocrity.
For Fang Huai, this Martial Arts Competition was his formal transition into becoming a leading figure.
The last Martial Arts Competition, he was alone, with no one paying him any attention.
But this time, whenever there was a group event where he participated, there was a crowd of onlookers, with some preparing the equipment even standing up to watch his performance. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Cheers, applause, and shouts of approval were endless.
The Guiyang Regiment even centered around him.
For a dark horse that emerged spectacularly to become the widely anticipated new generation Soldier King, one must go through two or three experiences that impress and cleanse the crowd.
Without realizing it, in this half-year, Fang Huai had already become decorated with honors, no longer a new recruit. When talking about experience, he had become someone old enough in service that people could discuss for a whole day.
The Guizhou Brigade had not had a leader who commanded everyone’s respect in many years, not even He Zhijun possessed such absolute dominance across all events.
Everyone’s admiration for him was tinged with a bit of collective pride; while he might crush us within the corps, causing curses, if he went out and dominated others, we would be quite pleased to see.
Great expectations were heavily placed on him by everyone.
...
At half-past two on the third afternoon, during the Firefighting Drill at the Initial Rapid Outpour of Water, the second round, the last to take the stage was the Guiyang Regiment.
The Head of the Corps had already arrived at the closing ceremony site, waiting to announce the results after the final event.
All events had also come to a close, with over three hundred people gathered beside the playground, watching the eight people preparing the hoses in front of the fire truck.
"What was the Guiyang Regiment’s time for the first round of the initial fire control?"
"49 seconds 33!"
"Huh, not that awesome, huh? Once everyone got on board, their results took a hit? Looks like they’re not all that great!"
"What the hell are you blabbering about? Your regiment’s time is 51 seconds 2 and you have the nerve to talk?
Apart from the crewed vehicle drill, they’re the first in everything else! The drills with three to four people, they’ve all blasted through them!
seconds 33 is already second place, and Anshun is just over half a second faster than them! Their second and third team members slowed them down, even stumbled a bit earlier; otherwise, they might have been much faster! Just watch, this round will probably be a lot faster!"
"Yeah, before the Guiyang Regiment had He Zhijun and Liu Shoulin, now with Fang Huai, that cadre is quite fierce too, and they’ve trained up Huang Yong; they’ve covered all the small-team drills."
"I genuinely didn’t expect Huang Yong, to place eighth in the Ironman, last competition he ranked ahead of me, now he’s left me a dozen spots behind! The Guiyang guys are just too damn tough now."
"With Fang Huai, they’re bound to get tougher sooner or later. Just you watch, even Lian Xu has transferred there, he hasn’t even competed this time; they’re probably setting their sights on the national level."
"Damn it, in the future, the Guiyang Regiment should be banned from competing in the Corps Martial Arts Competition! Let them go fight it out elsewhere!"
"I agree!"
"Seconded!"
At this moment, Fang Huai’s face was stern as he turned to look at the second and third members beside him.
"Old Yao, Yang Fengrui, I’m only aiming for one number, 47 seconds! You two just charge ahead, don’t worry about others, don’t even worry about the hoses beside you, just charge! Your task is to charge; when you reach the hose splitter, just throw the hoses wherever, I’ll pick them up for you!
