Festival overview
Festival introduction
Every country in the world has different fire alarm numbers, but each country has chosen the most memorable number to form the fire alarm number. The fire number of the United States is 9 1 1, and that of China is 1 19. China chose "1 19" as the fire number because "1" was pronounced as "Yao" in ancient times, which was similar to "yāo". "1 19" means "Do you want to save". [ 1]
Origin of the festival
In 1970s, according to the requirements of international standardization management, the International Telegraph and Telephone Advisory Committee suggested that the number "1 19" should be used for fire alarm telephones all over the world. This is to prevent the fire alarm telephone from starting with "0" and interacting with other communication services; Moreover, the fire is sudden, and in order to ensure smooth communication, it should be compiled into the secret service at the beginning of "1 1".
165438+1the number of months and days on October 9 are exactly the same as those on the fire alarm telephone 1 19. Around this day, when the air is dry and fires are frequent, fire prevention work in winter is being carried out intensively all over the country. In order to increase people's awareness of fire safety and make "1 19" more deeply rooted in people's hearts, the Ministry of Public Security launched "1 19" fire-fighting activities in some provinces and cities on 1992.
warning signal
The national unified telephone number for fire alarm starts with 1 19, 1982. This is based on the experience of Japan. Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, China has adopted 1 19 as the fire alarm telephone number since 1950, and the telephone number of Taiwan Province Province, Bao Dao City, China Province is also 1 19 since 1970.
1 19 in China is not just a telephone, but an advanced communication system. It can exchange information about major disasters with any place in China, and it can also mobilize disaster prevention and rescue forces through satellites. Fire information can be provided to the fire commander at any time by telephone. 1 19 is actually a disaster prevention command center.
The development of 1 19 depends on the matching of communication equipment in the whole city. In major cities in China, whenever you need the help of the fire police, you can call 1 19 for help. Most important institutions have direct hotlines with the fire brigade. When there is a fire, you can pick up the phone and call the fire brigade without bothering the telephone office.
1 19, which is an electronic computer data center. Can collect and store the fire information of all important departments within the jurisdiction. If there is a fire here, the computer will tell the fire police the details of this department, and at the same time they can receive instructions on the best driving route and the best fire fighting plan. The wireless telephone and TV screen of the fire truck can keep in touch with 1 19 at any time. The future 1 19 is not only a disaster prevention command center, but also an international disaster relief liaison station. With the development of science and technology in China, China 1 19 looks forward to the future, which will be exciting.
