GB/T 29176-2026Fire emergency rescue - General rules (English PDF)

5 Basic Principles

Fire emergency rescue work should adhere to the principles of saving lives first and scientific rescue.

6 Basic Work Requirements

6.1 Develop emergency response plans. Based on the types and characteristics of disasters and accidents in the jurisdiction, develop emergency response plans for typical disasters and accidents, as well as cross-regional emergency rescue plans. Emergency response plans, etc., should be assessed or updated at least once a year, and should be updated immediately when there are significant changes in disaster risks or rescue capabilities in the jurisdiction.

6.2 Master theoretical knowledge. Learn and master the basic theories of fire emergency rescue, the procedures and methods for handling various disasters and accidents, and the safety of response operations. Key points.

6.3 Organize professional training. Conduct emergency rescue professional technical and tactical training, and organize tabletop exercises and live-fire drills.

6.4 Establish a collaborative mechanism. This includes collaboration with emergency management, public security, housing and urban-rural development, transportation, health, ecology and environment, natural resources, water resources, earthquake monitoring, meteorology, and forestry and grassland departments. Departments such as water supply, power supply, gas supply, communications, railways, aviation, and other relevant units and emergency rescue teams should establish forecasting, early warning, consultation, and research mechanisms. Establish collaborative mechanisms related to judgment, force deployment, and support.

6.5 Conduct joint training and coordination. Establish mechanisms for joint operations, training, coordination, and combat with professional teams in various industries, the military, and other rescue forces.

6.6 Equipment and Supplies Provision. Develop and implement a construction and development plan for fire emergency rescue equipment and supplies, formulate and implement annual procurement plans, and establish standards. Establish a reserve base or warehouse for chemical equipment and materials, and continuously maintain and update the equipment and materials in a timely manner.

6.7 Establish a storage and allocation mechanism. Establish reserves of fire emergency rescue equipment and materials, engineering machinery, etc., with large enterprises, logistics companies, supermarkets, and other social entities. And emergency call mechanism.

6.8 Establish Information Support. Utilize information technology to establish geographic information databases, knowledge bases, contingency plan databases, expert databases, rescue force databases, and social response databases. Urgent resource database, etc.

7 Mobilization of rescue forces

7.1 Receiving alarms When the command center receives an alarm or an instruction from higher authorities, it should ascertain the type of mission, the time and location of the disaster or accident, and the scale and severity of the disaster. And development trends, the number of people in distress and their conditions, etc.

7.2 Deploying Forces The command center initially mobilized the fire and rescue stations or detachments (brigades) within its jurisdiction to deploy their respective specialized rescue forces for the corresponding disasters (earthquakes, water rescues, mountain rescues, etc.). If the initial force is insufficient to meet the needs of the rescue operation, priority should be given to dispatching reinforcements from within the jurisdiction, and if necessary, requests should be made to the higher-level command center. The request for reinforcements was received, and social rescue forces were coordinated and mobilized to carry out the operation.

7.3 Follow-up Scheduling The command center should proactively connect with the person reporting the incident, the unit involved in the accident, the local Party committee and government or relevant functional departments, as well as social rescue teams, to understand the disaster situation. We will assess the real-time situation and rescue needs, discuss and evaluate the rescue efforts, and coordinate the deployment of rescue forces.

7.4 Tracking and Command The command center tracks the progress of the dispatched forces en route and on-site rescue efforts, disseminates key handling points, and provides safety reminders. The command center will deploy troops based on the characteristics and scale of the disaster; after the establishment of the on-site operational command center, it will coordinate and dispatch resources with the command center at both the front and rear. command.

7.5 Cross-regional reinforcement Based on disaster information assessment or reinforcement requests, the higher-level command center will activate the force mobilization plan in real time, mobilizing fire and rescue forces nationwide or within the province. Utilize resources such as manpower and social emergency response forces to provide cross-regional support.

8 Organization and Command Requirements

8.1 Command Tasks The task of fire emergency rescue command is, in accordance with its statutory functions and authorization, to be responsible for dispatching rescue forces, assessing and making decisions on disaster situations, and directing rescue operations. This includes determining the case, coordinating on-site operations, and directing rescue operations to improve the effectiveness of rescue efforts and minimize disaster losses. harm.

9 On-site handling procedures

9.1 Reconnaissance Assessment Reconnaissance assessment is divided into the following measures.

a) Conduct disaster reconnaissance through methods such as questioning informants, instrument detection, search and rescue dog searches, unmanned equipment reconnaissance, and control room reconnaissance, and grasp the situation. It is necessary to grasp information such as the scale, severity, and development trend of disasters and accidents, as well as the number, location, and condition of people in distress;

b) Assess the feasibility of rescue operations based on the disaster situation, on-site environmental conditions, and the strength of available resources;

c) Assess on-site safety factors, evaluate safety risks, and assess the safety of rescue operations.

9.2 Safety Protection Safety protection measures include the following.

a) An on-site safety officer should be appointed to monitor, assess, and provide early warnings of on-site risks;

b) An emergency rescue team should be established and prepared for emergency rescue operations;

c) Implement personal protective measures in accordance with the disaster relief and protection level requirements; if the on-site situation is unclear, the highest level of protection should be implemented.

d) Safety inspections should follow the "three-check" principle of individual inspection, mutual inspection, and safety officer inspection to ensure the implementation of safety protection measures and their effectiveness. Dynamic management and control;

e) When there are risks of explosion, hazardous chemical leaks, or building collapse at the site, minimize the number of frontline workers and implement safety precautions. Protective measures;

f) Clearly define safety signals and evacuation routes. If signs of danger such as explosions, collapses, dam breaches, or sudden flash floods appear on site, personnel should be immediately organized. Personnel were evacuated immediately.

9.3 On-site security Delineate the restricted area, set up warning equipment, deploy guards, strictly control entry and exit, and keep records.

9.4 Rescue Operations The rescue operation consists of the following measures.

a) Implement disaster relief and rescue operation procedures;

10 Other Requirements

10.1 Rescue forces should choose safe routes to reach the rescue site and establish personnel and equipment assembly points in safe areas.

10.2 At disaster and accident rescue sites, close cooperation should be maintained with relevant professional departments and engineering technicians to leverage the resources of sanitation, water supply, power supply, and communications. Professional advantages.

10.3 Fire emergency rescue should be carried out in accordance with the principles of combining operational support with sustained support, self-sufficiency with social security, and comprehensive support with specialized support. It combines guarantees with institutional guarantees with regional guarantees.

10.4 Fire emergency rescue operations should be reviewed and summarized after each operation, in accordance with the principle of mandatory evaluation. This includes summarizing experiences and practices, identifying problems and shortcomings, and developing improvement plans. measure.

10.5 Fire emergency rescue data should be archived and managed, including rescue plans, command records, disaster information, rescue processes, debriefings, and other relevant data. The materials are classified, organized, and archived, and a designated person is responsible for their management.
