Preface

In the long historical development process of human society, fire makes human gradually get rid of cold and darkness, ignorance and barbarism. It not only brings light and warmth to human beings, but also brings disaster and pain to human beings. The harm of fire is abominable. With the development of society, science and technology are highly developed and materials are extremely rich. However, the disasters caused by fire to human beings have not been weakened, but become more and more tragic. Due to the limitation of fire protection science and technology, at present, the occurrence of fire has its absoluteness, which does not depend on people’s will. In recent years, due to people’s weak fire safety awareness and careless use of fire, or violation of fire safety management regulations in life and work, it is common that disasters occur, resulting in the loss of people’s lives and social property. This kind of loss involves not only the suffering and death of people, but also the loss of property, and sometimes even the irreparable historical wealth. Many lessons are painful.
    Fire protection safety is an important part of national economy and social development, and an important guarantee for national economic development, social security and stability and people’s living and working in peace and contentment. With the development of politics, economy, science and technology in China, especially the development of social comprehensive technology and the change of social activities caused by it, the universality and complexity of fire problems have been greatly increased. Therefore, newer, more and higher requirements are put forward for fire protection management. Building fire protection safety management is also considered as a social problem, which has caused the people who are responsible for social public safety to think deeply and pay attention to it, and become an important part of social safety management.

前 言

在人类社会漫长的历史发展过程中，火使人类逐渐摆脱了寒冷和黑暗、愚昧和野蛮，它在给人类带来光明和温暖的同时，也给人类带来了灾难和痛苦。火灾的危害，令人深恶痛绝。社会发展到今天，科技高度发达，物质极大丰富，然而火对人类造成的灾难并没有减弱，反而愈加惨烈。由于消防科技水平的限制，就目前来说火灾的发生具有其绝对性，不以人们的意志为转移，近年来，由于人们的消防安全意识淡薄而用火不慎，或在生活工作中违反消防安全管理规定，导致灾害发生的状况，屡见不鲜，使人民生命和社会财产受到了损失。这种损失既涉及人们遭受的痛苦和死亡，又包括财产的损失，甚至有时还包括无法弥补的历史财富，很多教训都是惨痛的。
      消防安全工作是国民经济和社会发展的重要组成部分，是国家经济发展、社会安全稳定和人民安居乐业的重要保障。随着我国政治、经济和科学技术的发展，尤其是社会综合技术的发展以及由此所引起的社会活动方式的改变，大大增加了火灾问题的广泛性和复杂性，因而对消防管理提出了更新、更多、更高的要求。建筑消防安全管理也被认为是一个社会问题，已经引起那些对社会公共安全负有消防责任的人们的深思和重视，成为社会安全管理的重要组成部分。
