I used to be a fireman, and I also experienced some relatively standardized rescue skills training to understand the danger of fire, so I still have some understanding of the danger of this behavior. The fire scene is more complicated and changeable. Professional firefighters should save people on the premise of ensuring their own safety during the rescue process. The college student did not have professional rescue skills, did not do simple personal protection before the rescue process, and rushed to rescue without knowing the details of the fire in time. It is reported that the liquefied gas tank exploded not far after the old man was removed from the fire. If there is a slight mistake in the rescue process, the consequences will be more serious and the losses will be greater. Although both the rescuers and the rescued people successfully escaped from the fire during this rescue, this does not mean that the student can also successfully escape from the fire in the next rescue. Although this kind of media hype and encouragement is promoting positive energy, this kind of praise will encourage more enthusiastic people who do not have the rescue ability to carry out inappropriate fire rescue to a certain extent. If an accident happens to the rescuers during the rescue, we will regret it.
Of course, this does not mean that the student's behavior is wrong. Helping others and sacrificing oneself for others should be correct and encouraging anyway, but this kind of encouragement must be appropriate and not dampen their enthusiasm. More enthusiastic people should know what kind of rescue behavior is most worthy of encouragement and praise in the face of this situation through this kind of rescue behavior, and should be warned by this kind of behavior.
At present, the propaganda of fire rescue in China is not in place. Fire rescue and escape rescue drills are mainly in primary and secondary schools, supplemented by a few crowded places such as enterprises, hotels and KTV. The exercise mainly uses fire extinguishers and covers your nose and mouth with wet towels when you escape. Most of the drills are dominated by various units, lacking certain seriousness, and the publicity audience is narrow, and the publicity and escape skills are relatively simple. This example of fire rescue, as a warning to educate people, is carried forward.
In the process of students' rescue, at least three mistakes deserve our attention and correction. A rescue call was not made before the rescue119; Second, the rescue did not simply investigate the fire situation; Third, they didn't protect themselves. Therefore, for this kind of rescue behavior, we should play a warning role and guide everyone to rescue reasonably, rather than praise blindly.
