Chapter 196: The Japanese-American System
Mu Tianyu soon officially entered the study and research work of a visiting scholar. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As the work progressed, he soon became more and more concerned about the construction of Japan's fire protection system. Since many of Japan's institutional settings were established after World War II and under the intervention of the United States, many things in Japan were developed in accordance with the American model and in combination with Japan's national conditions.
Therefore, if you want to study the fire protection system in Japan, you must also study the fire protection system in the United States.
Mu Tianyu noted that the fire agencies in Japan and the United States are separate and parallel to the police agencies.
In this respect, unlike in China, the public security police and the fire brigade are mixed.
China's approach has certain advantages, for example, China has always advocated that fire protection should be a combination of prevention and elimination. In particular, in recent years, China has begun to try to "prevent" the public security police and "eliminate" the fire brigade, which has temporarily eased some calls for the abolition of the fire brigade.

And the fire brigades in Japan and the United States, are they "troops"? Mu Tianyu first argued, and he was sure that he was right.
Fire brigades across the United States are basically doing a strong job of "elimination"; However, on the "defense", there are many flaws and are slightly weak. Japan's fire brigade is in charge of both "elimination" and "prevention". Therefore, the fire brigade in Japan is more comprehensive, but also busier and harder.
Isn't it true that many people in China advocate the professionalization of firefighting in Japan and the United States? They shouted that China's firefighting forces should be abolished and that firefighting should be professionalized like Japan and the United States!
Mu Tianyu found that the fire agencies in Japan and the United States, no matter what department they belong to on the surface, are indeed troops, and they are professional fire brigades.
This is because the fire departments of Japan and the United States, like the fire brigades in China, basically implement militarized management and follow the military command system.
At this point, many people in China who seem to be scholars or experts do not understand, and they often make nonsense only from the superficial affiliation: fire protection should be professionalized! The fire brigade should be transferred to the locality! These people are generally mountaineous, have a sense of feudal separatism, or they are too deeply influenced by separatist thinking.
Mu Tianyu remembered that when he was a child, he once heard his father Mu Canghai say that Japan is not as big as a province in Yunnan, China, but it is divided into 47 provincial-level administrative regions.
China, on the other hand, has a land area dozens of times that of Japan, but has only more than 30 provincial-level administrative regions. Every local government, if it has both a police force and a fire brigade as well, and is closely related to the garrison force, no matter which province, is absolutely invincible to a country with sufficient armed forces.
Standing at a high academic level, it is necessary to connect with reality in order to apply what you have learned. The system of fire protection agencies and the system of fire protection management cannot simply know one and not know the other, let alone simply copy the system of foreign countries, otherwise, it will not work.
Looking at the National Fire Department of the United States, it is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Homeland Security, which is responsible for the protection of the US homeland and coast guard, and it is clear that in wartime, the coast guard force belongs to the navy. Then, although it is not clear that the wartime firefighting force belongs to it, it can be seen that the firefighting force is closely related to the issue of homeland security.
Fire officers in the United States are also called by the ranks and military positions of fire lieutenants, fire captains, fire brigade captains, and other troops. Even newly recruited firefighters are admitted to the fire department after graduating from a fire protection university. Compared with China's fire brigade, in this regard, the American fire brigade is indeed professional.
Firefighters in the United States generally have as little as 25 years of service before they can retire completely. That is to say, a 21-year-old college student who graduated from a fire department, after 25 years as a firefighter, if he did not hold a comparable position, he could have received a high pension at the age of 46 and did not have to work anymore.
Japan's firefighting forces are more directly militarized.
The fire brigade under the Tokyo Fire Department alone includes surface troops, land units, mountain units, aviation units, emergency units, and other units. For these units, the official English translation of Japan is RescueForce, while the official English translation of the regular Japanese army is SelfDenfenceForce.
And Japanese regulations stipulate that rescue forces can go abroad to carry out international rescue missions; Self-defence forces, on the other hand, do not have this right and cannot go abroad to fight unless they send personnel to join the United Nations peacekeeping forces.
From an academic point of view, after studying the Japanese fire protection system, Mu Tianyu wanted to go deep into the fire brigade and conduct a field investigation to obtain more comprehensive and accurate first-hand research data materials.
He relayed his thoughts to Professor Toshisuke Harano through Yuta Amada. I received praise and applied for support from the University of Tokyo as a research expedition.
It just so happened that Yuta Yuta Yuta was also becoming more and more interested in the fire brigade due to the influence of Mu Tianyu. In the name of the fire protection design research and investigation of construction engineering, he also applied for the support of the University of Tokyo.
In this way, Yuta Yuta and Mu Tianyu can conduct investigation work and research together.
When Todai officially contacted the Tokyo Fire Department, Yuta Yuta Yuta simply huddled in Mu Tianyu's dormitory, waiting for the arrangement of the project together.
Yuta Yuta compared the rank badge of the Japanese fire brigade with the rank of the Chinese fire brigade. He asked Mu Tianyu: "Brother, there are 10 ranks of the Japanese Fire Brigade, corresponding to the rank of the Chinese Fire Brigade, and you should be equivalent to the Fire Commander or Fire Superintendent of the Japanese Fire Brigade." ”
"Really?"
"It should be. The Tokyo Fire Department should be similar to the Beijing Fire Brigade, and if it corresponds to a major general or colonel, then a lieutenant colonel should correspond to a fire superintendent. ”
"I don't think there's a comparison. Besides, I didn't come to Tokyo as a soldier, but as an ordinary student. ”
"I think that if my brother is like your two seniors, wearing a military uniform to come to the University of Tokyo, then it will be more stylish, and he must be more handsome."
"Little brother, don't tell me about this, it's really going to be troublesome."

"Don't worry, brother, I understand. Still, I'd love to see you look like a soldier. ”
"It's just a matter of changing clothes, it's not like what you see every day."
"That's different." Yuta Yuta patted Mu Tianyu's waist and said: "This body is tall like a general, and he doesn't wear a military uniform, it's a pity!" There's no place for me to open up this shot. ”
"Oh, you're just here to toss me for the hobby of photography?"
"What about that? When my sister saw her, she was fascinated, it couldn't be ordinary. ”
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you," Mu Tianyu seemed a little angry, "Am I not looking good now?" He looked left and right and went to the side.
