On September 29th, in order to implement the requirements of the “Three-year Action Plan for the Special Remediation of Fire Safety in Religious Places in Zhejiang Province” and ensure the safety and stability of religious places, the “Five-religion Peer-to-peer, Hehe Yiwu” fire fighting contest sponsored by Yiwu Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau and assisted by the municipal fire rescue detachment was held at the Chenghuang Temple in Yiwu. Dong Liming, member of the Standing Committee and Minister of United Front, attended the event.
At the opening ceremony, Wang Dong, deputy director of the United Front Work Department and director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, pointed out: First, the religious circles in the city should firmly establish the “bottom line awareness” of fire safety, and enhance their ideological consciousness and action consciousness of fundamentally eliminating potential safety hazards; Second, it is necessary to strengthen the “standardized management” of fire safety in places, improve the mechanism, clarify responsibilities, strengthen physical and technical defense, and promote the standardization and specialization of fire control work in religious places; Third, it is necessary to effectively improve the “four abilities” of fire safety, conduct fire emergency drills and training on a regular basis, and improve the ability to check and eliminate fire hazards, organize fire fighting at the beginning, organize personnel evacuation and escape, and conduct fire protection publicity and education training.
This fire fighting contest is divided into individual competition “In-situ dress with a weight of 50 meters for one person and two sets of water hose connection exercises” and team competition “Fire extinguisher and water gun fire control exercises in the first battle”. One representative from the five major religions participated in the individual competition and one team of four participated in the team competition.

This fire fighting skill contest is not only a practical fire fighting and rescue skill competition, but also a big test of the fire fighting safety ability of various religions. Adhering to the concept of “everything is for actual combat, everything is for actual combat”, the activities of the five major fire brigades promoted learning skills through competition, and learning promoted the use of good soldiers, which further enhanced the ability of coordinated fire fighting and emergency rescue in the religious field.
