The average annual growth rate exceeds 10%! This trillion-level track is related to your safety

As disaster prevention and reduction capabilities continue to improve, my country's safety and emergency equipment industry continues to expand. Data show that the industrial scale of my country's key areas of safety emergency equipment will exceed 1 trillion yuan in 2025, with an average annual growth rate of more than 10% in the past three years. The "15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Safety Emergency Equipment Industry" proposes that by 2030, the industry scale target in key areas of safety emergency equipment will reach 1.4 trillion yuan.

The rise of trillion-level industries

Domestic emergency rescue hard-core equipment enters the front line of actual combat

The safety and resilience of a city is hidden in the domestic emergency equipment system that can be pulled out and endured. From flood rescue, drainage and pumping to emergency water collection, a batch of domestic hard-core rescue equipment is being implemented in various actual combat scenarios.

In the waters of Huangjia Lake in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, an urban flood emergency rescue drill was held intensely. The protagonist of the scene is the emergency power pontoon bridge that can be quickly spliced.

Han Lei, leader of the No. 1 Squadron of the Natural Disaster Engineering Rescue Wuhan Base of the Ministry of Emergency Management, said that the pontoon bridge can be infinitely spliced. Five sections are allocated. A single section is 10 meters long and 8 meters wide. After the splicing is completed, the total length is 50 meters.

This equipment has two core tasks: one is to quickly transfer trapped people, and the other is to transport large rescue equipment.

In addition to water rescue equipment, large-volume drainage trucks, the "main force" in urban waterlogging disposal, are also on standby at the National Urban Drainage and Flood Prevention Emergency Rescue (Wuhan) Base.

Li Chengwei, the emergency team leader of the National Urban Drainage and Flood Prevention Emergency Rescue (Wuhan) Base, said that this drainage truck can drain 5,000 cubic meters per hour and supports single-person operation. The efficient and convenient operation mode means that after a danger occurs, you can quickly start working and drain the accumulated water.

Once the urban water supply system is damaged, emergency water supply security capabilities are crucial. At the Central China Base of the National Water Supply Emergency Rescue Center, water purification vehicles, water quality testing vehicles, and communication support vehicles are always in a state of combat readiness.

Qian Jin, head of the Dispatching Command Center of Wuhan Water Group in Hubei Province, said that water purification trucks rely on pretreatment, ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis technologies. A variety of natural water sources can be used as water sources, and the treated water quality can directly meet residents' drinking and living needs. The four water purification trucks in the base can produce 480 cubic meters of water per day, which can meet the water needs of 120,000 people.

Breaking through the bottleneck of high-altitude firefighting

A variety of new firefighting equipment "online"

The total number of high-rise buildings in my country ranks first in the world, and fire protection in high-rise buildings has always been a major difficulty in urban disaster prevention and reduction. Traditional rescue equipment has many limitations. Now a batch of new fire-fighting equipment has entered the research and development and testing stage to build a solid line of defense for the fire safety of urban high-rise buildings.

For a long time, high-rise firefighting has mainly relied on high-rise fire trucks. The record for the highest spray height of the longest boom in the country can reach more than 150 meters. However, the deployment of this type of equipment requires a large amount of ground space, takes a long time to prepare, and is prone to shaking due to strong winds at high altitudes.

In response to these pain points, a Hubei company is working hard to develop a ground-level vertical spray fire truck, which can accurately spray fire extinguishing agent vertically from the ground to the facades of high-rise buildings without the need to expand the space in a large area, and its wind resistance and flexibility are greatly improved.

According to the person in charge of the company, three generations of iterative products have been planned for this equipment. The current first-generation product has been tested to have a stable range of up to 130 meters, and the second- and third-generation products will continue to make breakthroughs, sprinting to vertical fire-extinguishing heights of 150 meters and 200 meters respectively, covering all-round rescue scenarios in ultra-high buildings.

In addition to new fire trucks, firefighting drone technology is also undergoing major upgrades. The newly developed vehicle-mounted tethered drone has achieved a leap-forward improvement in performance. It is linked to the fire truck through cables to achieve continuous water supply and uninterrupted power supply.

Compared with the mainstream conventional equipment on the market with an operating height of 100 meters to 150 meters and a load capacity of 100 kilograms, the new drone has a load capacity of up to 240 kilograms and can operate stably for a long time at an altitude of 240 meters. It is a powerful rescue tool for dangerous situations in high-rise buildings.

It is reported that the country’s first drone fire truck will be selected into the motor vehicle announcement catalog of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in 2024, and will be officially installed in the fire department by the end of the year. Currently, there are only a few dozen sets of tethered drone fire trucks nationwide. The industry predicts that relying on technological breakthroughs and policy support, this type of high-altitude rescue equipment will usher in greater growth in the next few years.

Policy support fire emergency industry ushered in rapid development

The iterative implementation of new high-rise firefighting equipment cannot be separated from the strong support of national policies. The "15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Safety Emergency Equipment Industry" clearly states that it is necessary to increase the deployment of emerging fire rescue equipment such as tethered drones.

According to the plan, my country will build 10 national emergency equipment industry clusters and 70 characteristic industrial parks by 2030. Data shows that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, the total domestic demand for fire trucks exceeded 50,000 units. The fire truck market size will exceed 10.5 billion yuan in 2030, and the industry has full development potential.

From water transfer, waterlogging drainage to emergency water supply, pieces of domestic equipment work together to weave a dense urban disaster prevention and reduction protection network. Vertical jet fire trucks, heavy-duty high-altitude fire-fighting drones...domestic fire-fighting equipment is continuing to break down technical barriers, making high-rise firefighting no longer "out of reach, difficult to deploy, and unstable." Behind the rise of another trillion-level track is the continuous upgrading of the demand for disaster prevention and reduction, and also the leap-forward improvement in the technical capabilities of domestic emergency equipment.
