In a small theatre with a 180o arc screen, more than 20 students are watching firefighting warning films, the cool wind blowing in the theater with the plots, and the spraying of mist, making the audience feel the same way to experience the fire rescue. Intense atmosphere. Suddenly, I do not know who shouted: On fire, everyone hurries to withdraw! The students in the theater rushed to the green security exit, but fortunately there was no danger. All of us evacuated in time.

The real scene of this scene is the Fire Prevention Disaster Prevention Museum located at the China Fire Museum. The museum uses this method to test everyone's true fire self-rescue capability. The system detected that 6 people exceeded the height of 1m line to escape. 0 people dialed 119 calls, 0 person pressed the elevator button, 0 person used extinguishing equipment, and scored 20 points. This is the evaluation result given by the fire detection system. From these quantitative evaluation results, we can see that the situation of fire safety education is still not optimistic. It also shows that fire safety education should adopt a diversified and three-dimensional approach to deepen everyone’s understanding. This is also the original intention of the Chinese Fire Museum to establish knowledge of fire prevention, promote fire culture, and develop fire protection.

Popularize fire knowledge

China Fire Museum after years of preparation, since November 9, 2010 free and open to the public, is currently China's only national fire industry theme museum, showcasing area of nearly 10,000 m2, by the Office of the sequence, the ancient fire hall, near Modern fire show hall, fire prevention disaster prevention experience hall and temporary exhibition hall. In terms of popularizing fire prevention knowledge, the most characteristic is the number of fire prevention and disaster prevention experience halls.

The fire prevention and disaster prevention experience hall is located on the second basement floor of the China Fire Museum. In the space of 9m in height and 2200m2 in space, it integrates high-definition projection, electronic sand table model, CNC machine, photoelectric induction, 180° arc screen and other multimedia presentation technologies. , simulates a realistic scene. Through the design of urban firefighting planning, building firefighting facilities, fire experience theater, fire emergency evacuation, home fire fighting, 119 telephone alarm, earthquake emergency response, subway fire evacuation, fire rescue knot rope, CPR first aid and other 10 experience projects, It reflects the various disasters that the residents may encounter in their daily lives and the correct escape and self-help knowledge, creating a unique disaster experience for the experiencer. The Fire and Disaster Prevention Experience Hall integrates science and technology, knowledge, and interaction to stimulate the conscious participation of the experiencer in the self-help knowledge of escape and the desire to protect themselves and others.

For example, to experience earthquake emergency shelters, the scene is set in a bar. Before the earthquake struck, participants gathered around a table in twos and threes, chatted or observed the bar furnishings. Suddenly, everyone felt that the bar house was slightly shaken. When the front face was facing each other, the voice of the museum narrator was heard in the ear. This was the feeling of a three-level earthquake. The three-level earthquake did not generally cause too much destructive power. Everyone will feel the intensity of the five-level earthquake and can compare with it. Sure enough, the experiencer felt a more violent shake than before, wine glasses and bottles fell off the shelves, and pots, tables and chairs fell. After the shaking was over, the explainer introduced the main points of the method for self-rescue upon the earthquake and introduced the concept of the more advanced life safety triangle in the world. When it is impossible to escape after the earthquake, you can find a more solid exterior wall or object, close to one side, so that when the above building collapses, you get a fulcrum support above the more solid object, forming a Relatively safe triangular area, this area will have a higher survival rate in the earthquake.

Before the subway fire experience, the instructor emphasized that because the high-voltage power lines that supply the normal operation of the subway are distributed on both sides of the track, when the subway fire escapes, it is necessary to evacuate from the front and rear doors of the subway as far as possible, and do not escape from the left and right doors to avoid touching. To high voltage electricity. The theater fire escape mentioned at the beginning of the article is a system feedback comment after the experiencer personally participated in the escape, reminding again: in the fire escape, you should try to lower your body and cover your nose and mouth; call the 119 alarm phone as soon as possible ; if you have fire facilities next to you , And will be used, can be the first to start the fire; fire escape must not take the elevator, take the stairs.

Pass on fire culture

While taking on the task of popularizing fire-fighting knowledge, the Chinese Fire Museum also shoulders the mission of inheriting fire history and culture. Zhou Jiujing, director of the China Fire Protection Museum, said that although various localities (such as Qingdao and Shanghai) have established fire museums after 2000 , local fire protection museums mainly focus on the local residents and introduce local firefighting history, which has certain limitations. Sex. The Chinese Fire Museum is facing the whole country. Whether it is the scale of exhibition or the number of collections, it is more authoritative and comprehensive. It is the largest fire museum in China.

The second and third floors of the China Fire Protection Museum are centered on the main lines of human fire, fire, fire prevention, and fire control. They show the historical evolution of fire fighting from ancient times to modern times, through a precious historical relic, panoramic views. It reflects the historical fire culture, major fire incidents, and changes in fire protection organizations in China. It is an encyclopedia that understands the history of fire protection in China.

In the display form of fire history and culture, the Chinese Fire Museum combined it with fire prevention and fire warning, and used phantom imaging, electronic sand table, painting, sculpture, model, scene restoration and other means to demonstrate the fires of thousands of years. Legends, fire and art, fire and astronomy, fire and literature. Using charts and video materials, they also introduced major fire incidents from ancient times to the present, and through analysis of their causes, processes, and hazards, they explained to people the principles of prevention, rescue, and abstention. Fire hazards, learn lessons, prevent problems, subconsciously enhance fire safety awareness.

The model used by the Chinese Fire Museum accurately reflects the historical scene of the submarine warships in the Song Dynasty. This is the first official fire-fighting army in the world and it appeared in the Chang’an City of the Song Dynasty in China. The museum scaled back the miniatures of the scenes of life in Chang’an City at that time, and used 400 colored clay sculptures to reproduce the scenes of submarine warfare soldiers living, practicing and fighting in the Song Dynasty. According to the design arrangement, this miniature model can also use multimedia means such as lighting and projection screens to demonstrate in accordance with the scenarios of fire, alarm, dispatch, fire, and fire extinguishing, vividly reflecting advanced urban fire management at that time.

Development of firefighting

As a state-level fire prevention and disaster prevention education base, the Chinese Fire Museum is not only capable of functioning as a general fire museum, but also adept at publicizing some public and public safety issues that are of public concern. Zhou Jiujing explained that in recent years, there have been a number of major public safety incidents in China that have caused widespread public concern, such as earthquakes, fires, and car accidents. These disasters have prompted everyone to take the initiative to learn and master the skills of how to protect their lives in these disasters. Therefore, the China Fire Museum also cooperates with the State Seismological Bureau, the National Emergency Rescue Center and other departments to jointly organize more targeted popular science propaganda, or highlights the escape and self-help knowledge of earthquakes and fires when the audience visits the museum.

Attracting the audience to the museum is one aspect. On the other hand, the Chinese Fire Museum also actively carries out popular science promotion activities. We not only focused on propaganda after the disaster, but also insisted on taking fire science knowledge to the people, entering the community, entering schools, entering enterprises, entering families, and entering the countryside. Zhou Jiujing said that since the opening ceremony, he has been going out for fire safety training almost every month. For the characteristics of young students receiving knowledge, they will conduct fire science popularization lectures, issue readable, writable, and visible publicity materials, hold prize-knowledge quizzes, organize escape self-help drills, and other activities; and focus on the residents in the community. How to design a family fire escape route and how to detect and eliminate hidden dangers in a family fire; For employees of enterprises and institutions, due to the young and middle-aged people, besides explaining the fire safety requirements for office space, they will also involve some initial fires to save others and help others escape. Etc.

In order to more vividly and visually carry out popular firefighting science and technology propaganda, the Chinese Fire Museum also purchased inflatable science equipment such as simulated fire escapes and firefighting propaganda vehicles, which are convenient to the people. Zhou Jiujing introduced that if fire simulators are used in fire science education, they can be inflated to establish a relatively independent space, which is about a 50m2 room with smoke, lighting, sound, and escape. Logos, import and export, etc. Participants can experience the skill requirements of fire escape in person under the guidance of the instructor. The firefighting propaganda vehicle is a firefighting popular science facility that integrates eight popular science projects such as high-level descending escape and electrical fire extinguishing demonstration . The firefighting popular science demonstration has increased the interest and greatly increased the participation of the people.

In strengthening the popularization of fire safety knowledge, we have established joint relationships with Dongjiao Minxiang Elementary School, Beijing No. 8 Middle School, and Communication University of China. The museum regularly conducts fire safety training for teachers and students at the school and organizes students to volunteer for the museum. Zhou Jiujing explained that in this way, after students get fire safety training in the museum, they will return to school and it will be easier to publicize the fire safety knowledge to the people around them. This will make more and more fire safety communicators.

By the end of 2011, "National Fire safety education outline" the Central Propaganda Department, Ministry of Public Security jointly issued by eight departments required by the end of 2015, the county-level administrative regions are to build a more functional facilities were complete, can accommodate 50 Above the people visited the fire science education venues. Zhou Jiujing said that he hopes that some of the practices of the China Fire Museum can provide references for the construction of fire museums and science education in various places.
