After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 753: Chapter 500 The martyrs have gone, and the brave are moving forward_2

"So you still dare to take such a major action against the Fire Department?" Director Yu’s tone became somewhat sharp.

However, Fang Huai did not show any sign of weakness, asserting firmly, "Director, although I am inexperienced, I can observe. The current fire protection system’s superiority is not strong. Instead, it has reduced the purity of the military system within the firefighting forces and lacks a comprehensive supervisory system. The division of fire inspection authority is probably an inevitable step. What I’m targeting is not fire protection, but an administrative system with supervisory loopholes, where you can only choose between the military management system and the local administrative system."

Vice Bureau Chief Yu then revealed a gentle smile. freёweɓnovel.com

This was a matter of great significance, and he could not tolerate hasty action without a thorough understanding.

But from Little Fang’s macro perspective, it wasn’t wrong; overall, the disadvantages outweighed the advantages.

Therefore, he directly taught, "Your thinking is correct, however, fire protection reform isn’t as simple as cutting and throwing the task to someone else. You need to learn to take care of the aftermath on your own, and also, you cannot weaken the enforcement power of fire protection.

The enforcement power of the Fire Department mainly consists of two parts, fire investigation and building fire inspection approval.

It makes sense for firefighting to fall under public security.

For fire investigations that need to pursue criminal liability, cases with losses over 500,000 yuan need to be transferred to criminal investigation. If there is a divergence in defining an incident with the criminal investigation department, it could be internally coordinated. Once it becomes local, without the enforcement power of the public security, the power to summon, and also without the power to detain, you lack the ability to control suspects, and the evidence collection becomes overly dependent on the criminal investigation department, making the cooperative issues obvious.

Either you safeguard it legally, or you must ensure it through departmental systems.

Building approval, on the other hand, should be approached from a perspective of expertise. A joint venture with the housing construction department is actually well-founded and feasible."

Fang Huai suddenly understood.

"You’re right, sir. We need to consider from both aspects, and indeed, fire investigation and building approval, firefighting supervision—these two responsibilities shouldn’t be combined.

The occurrence of fire accidents is often somewhat related to inappropriate building approval and fire supervision, and after a fire accident occurs, having the same institution conduct the fire investigation is like investigating oneself, making it very hard to achieve an objective and fair outcome."

Vice Bureau Chief Yu smiled again.

This kid, he was skilled at picking out his flaws.

But, after Vice Bureau Chief Yu started the conversation, Fang Huai’s thinking still continued.

"Then... Director, you just mentioned a joint venture... Do you mean, to delegate relevant departmental agencies?"

Only then did Vice Bureau Chief Yu nod his head with a smile.

It seems he does have insight.

"Yes, for the time being, the Fire Department is unable to expand the number of staff locally or reduce them internally, leaving only one option: deploy key business departments to co-office with the most appropriate department.

Theoretically, it would still be under the macro guidance of the Fire Prevention Place of the Regiment, but in practice, take the opportunity to promote a close connection between the two main businesses of fire protection and local agencies.

This condition can only exist with the simultaneous support of the local government and the local whole corps.

These are conditions that many people envy.

These ideas are not unique to you. I have two documents in my office, which I will fax over to you tomorrow. They’ve been accumulating for a few years now and were written by the cadres from the Henan General Corps where I used to work. They thought it out in detail, but unfortunately, they lacked the conditions."

"Oh... Okay, thank you, Director!"

Fang Huai finally understood why Vice Bureau Chief Yu seemed so confident about this issue; his former subordinates had already thought about it and had presented their ideas to him in documents. Moreover, the fact that Vice Bureau Chief Yu had kept a document for years and brought it from the local whole corps to the office in the capital implied his great interest and likely, his own reflections on the matter.

It seems like the idea of dividing business operations wasn’t his alone, but many others had previously contemplated it and then decided not to bring it up for caution’s sake.

"Little Fang, with massive capital from above, policy support, unique local advantages, the precedent set by Shenzhen, you are in an enviable position. But don’t be complacent; your pressure should be even greater. Imagine, if you fail, then your ideas, your actions, will become a huge obstacle for those who come after you.

There’s a case I think you’ve heard of, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Hanxin Chip; though different in nature, the outcomes could be the same."

At those words, Fang Huai stood firm, held himself upright, and saluted.

"Yes, Director! I will cut through all difficulties and live up to your expectations! But I also believe that any matter involving the state’s major interests, whether firefighting or chips, will not stop progressing due to one or two incidents. The nation will surely flourish, and so too will our cause!"

Director Yu burst into hearty laughter and patted Fang Huai on the shoulder:

"Good lad! Come on, run a few laps with me!"

With that, he started moving swiftly forward.

Fang Huai was momentarily stunned.

The old man was quite a fast runner.

By saying "our cause will surely flourish," had he triggered the old man’s competitive spirit?

Hey, he was still over a decade from retiring! Talking about ’our cause’? It was too early for that!

With these thoughts, Fang Huai hurriedly followed behind Vice Bureau Chief Yu with steps full of warm humanity. The Grand Martial Arts Competition champion that caused fear across Chinese Firefighting actually couldn’t overtake him and ended up panting with his hand raised:

"Director, we’ve just eaten, you’re running too fast, wait for me..."

...

Early March.

The first week after the new recruits joined.

Second Squadron.

This was a historic equipping ceremony.

For the first time, a Chinese Firefighting grassroots squadron had a helicopter. freewebnøvel.com

Even earlier than the first forest aviation troops scheduled for July—the Daqing Helicopter Squadron.
