Riverside police

At two o'clock in the afternoon, we investigated the water fire brigade.

Compared with the criminal investigation detachment, Han Yu, who is also the chairman of the Binjiang branch of the China Water Fire Fighting Association, is more familiar with the fire detachment that was established back then.

Like the Criminal Investigation Detachment, the Water Fire Fighting Detachment has only four official police officers, including the detachment leader, instructor, and deputy detachment leader, and there are no assisting police officers, not even a police car.

Detachment leader Li Mingsheng is an old acquaintance. He was originally a policeman at Binjiang Port Police Station. Later he was transferred to Gaorugang Police Station, where he worked as a lieutenant commander until he became deputy director. He was later transferred to Dongqi Police Station. He worked in Dongqi for several years and it was last year. Just transferred back.

Instructor Wu Yugui is no stranger to this as he has been working in the Political Department before.

Deputy detachment boss Xu is even more familiar with him. Like Fang Guoya, he was the deputy captain of the Binjiang Fire Detachment of the Armed Police before. It was Han Yu who helped transfer him to the Changhang Branch.

Internal service Ge Xiaoqian is a young female police officer, and Han Yu is no stranger to her.

Because she was Xiaoyu's student when he was an instructor at Changhang Police Academy, and she was Xiaoyu's student and the girlfriend of his subordinate Xiao Chen. She is a child of the Changhang Police System. After graduation, she was assigned to the Guzhou Branch. Since she was in a relationship with Xiao Chen, Xiaoyu asked Vice Principal Liu of the Changhang Police School, who had served as the deputy director of the Binjiang Branch, to help transfer her here. .

The four people each have their own division of labor.

While presiding over the work of the detachment, Li Mingsheng is also responsible for fire supervision and management, fire-related administrative approvals and even administrative penalties.

The detachment has a total of four official police officers, but there is not so much ideological and political work. The instructor Wu Yugui is mainly responsible for fire safety publicity. Xu, the deputy detachment leader, is in charge of water fire fighting and is responsible for guiding the construction of fire brigade of various enterprises within his jurisdiction.

Seeing "Uncle Master", Ge Xiaoqian's pretty face turned red. She was embarrassed to look up and pretended to be serious while taking notes.

Li Mingsheng and Wu Yugui were even more embarrassed when they saw Han Yu and hesitated to speak while holding the report materials.

Lao Xu was a transferred military cadre with a straight temper. He raised his head and said, "Bureau Han, I'm sorry. We didn't expect it would turn out like this. It's embarrassing for you. Let's review it."

Six months ago, a Nanhe-registered cargo ship caught fire while refueling at a Binjiang floating gas station.

After receiving the alarm, Lao Xu immediately mobilized the Binjiang Port Enterprise Fire Brigade and the Binjiang Port Tug Company's tow and fire tugboat according to the plan. After two hours of fighting, the fire was successfully extinguished.

Due to proper command and timely fire fighting, the superiors also commended the water fire brigade and the Binjiang Port Enterprise Fire Brigade. Lao Xu and four people including Fang Guoya who performed outstandingly in fire fighting were even awarded third-class merit by their superiors.

As the chairman of the Binjiang Branch of the China Water Fire Fighting Association, Han Yu was well aware of the fires that occurred in the Binjiang waters and shorelines. He called them to congratulate them at the time, and even joked with Lao Xu and Fang Guoya that he would treat them to a treat if they had made a contribution.

It's a good thing, but I didn't expect that there would be problems in the fire accident investigation.

The fire accident investigation conducted at that time determined that the captain of the burning cargo ship objected and took the water fire brigade to court.

The Chonggang District Court ruled in the first instance that the Water Fire Fighting Detachment lost the case. Li Mingsheng was not convinced. Qi Bureau and Political Commissar Jiang also felt that they were aggrieved by losing the lawsuit. Now the lawsuit has been brought to Binjiang Intermediate People's Court, and judging from the information obtained through various channels, it is very You may lose again and even have to bear legal fees of up to 500,000 yuan.

The people sued the officials, and the people sued and won.

This is big news!

The superiors are very concerned about it, the media is also very concerned about it, and the whole department is under great pressure. This matter was mentioned during dinner yesterday.

Han Yu didn't expect that such a thing would happen in his old unit, and whispered: "Since it happened, we have to face it. What's the use of regretting it? Let's talk about what happened first."

"yes."

Li Mingsheng calmed down and said with a grimace: "On January 16 this year, the Yuzhou export cargo ship 5058 docked at the Huanggang water gas station for refueling. The ship 5058 was empty at the time, and the freeboard was very high, so the gas station staff could not climb up. I listened to the chief engineer of the 5058th engine and handed the refueling nozzle to the chief engineer and engineer of the 5058th engine. As a result, they put the refueling nozzle directly into the oil hatch, which directly caused the fire."

Han Yu looked at the administrative judgment of the court of first instance and asked, "How did you investigate?"

"We investigated according to regulations and procedures. During the investigation, we found that there was unqualified fuel in the oil tank of the 5058 tanker. We took samples and sent them for inspection. The inspection agency found that the flash point of the fuel was 26°C, and it evaporated and mixed with air under temperature conditions. Explosive combustible gas accumulated. When refueling, the crew of ship 5058 violated regulations and filled directly from the oil hatch, which caused static electricity accumulation and discharge, causing an explosion of combustible gas in the cabin and causing a fire."

"Who participated in the investigation?"

"Me, Lao Qian, Fang Guoya and Liu Gong from the Binjiang Fire Brigade."

"How is the fire accident determined?"

"Based on the circumstances at the time, we determined that the two crew members of ship 5058 who operated illegally were directly responsible for the fire. The boatswain and safety officer of the gas station did not conscientiously perform safety inspection responsibilities when refueling and were indirectly responsible for the fire accident."

"Then what?" Han Yu asked.

"The ship refused to accept it, applied for re-identification, and even found Hanwu. The Corps sent experts to maintain our previous accident determination. The ship still refused to accept and sued us."

No wonder they were under so much pressure. It turned out that the Changhang Public Security Water Fire Brigade was also involved.

This lawsuit cannot be lost, because if it loses, it will not only lose the Binjiang branch.

Han Yu did not ask again, but carefully read the first-instance verdict.

The plaintiff believes that the "parties" in the fire accident investigation regulations refer to units and individuals that have a direct interest in the fire accident. Huanggang Gas Station failed to supervise the performance of its employees' duties. It should bear the corresponding responsibility for the employees' failure to refuel on the tanker and the failure to conduct safety inspections before the 5058 tanker was refueled.

However, the accident liability determination issued by the Changhang Branch Water Fire Fighting Detachment only determined that the gas station employees were indirectly responsible and did not mention the responsibility of the gas station. This was an omission of the subject and a procedural error!

Moreover, according to Article 21 "Water Refueling Operation Procedures" of Sinopec's "Gas Station Management Specifications", after receiving the oil delivery voucher, the refueler should carefully check the variety, quantity, and check the oil container. If there is no doubt, connect the Refueling hose or refueling nozzle…

But the gas attendant did nothing. If you think about it carefully, the gas attendant and the gas station should bear the responsibility.

Furthermore, you said that if there was unqualified fuel in the oil tank, the fuel supplier should be held responsible, but you did not. This also belongs to the omission of the responsible party.

I don’t know what the lawyer the branch hired when it responded to the lawsuit for the first time was thinking. He actually suggested from the very beginning that the court had no right to conduct a judicial review of the accident determination of the Changhang Branch Water Fire Fighting Detachment! As a result, the judge cited the classics and rejected it one by one, using legal provisions and judicial interpretations.

Then, on the grounds that the company to which Huanggang Water Gas Station belongs is jointly invested by Sinopec and Yangtze River Shipping Group Corporation, each holding 50% of the shares, Sinopec's "Gas Station Management Regulations" do not apply here.

However, the country has no relevant laws and regulations regarding water refueling. The judge believed that if there are no relevant laws and regulations, industry standards should be followed, and Sinopec's "Gas Station Management Standards" are equivalent to industry standards.

As for the oil-receiving ship being unloaded at the time, the ship's side was too high, which objectively prevented the refueling crew from boarding the ship. This cannot be the reason why the gas station was not responsible for the fire accident.

In short, the first-instance verdict was reasonable and the detachment did not lose unjustly.

Han Yu put down the administrative judgment of the first-instance court, was silent for a moment and asked: "The second-instance trial is about to begin. It seems that there is little chance of winning. What did you think about it?"

"We...what considerations can we have? Now we can only listen to our superiors."

"Which superior?"

"Qi Bureau said this lawsuit cannot be lost."

Han Yu asked dumbfounded: "If you are wrong, you are wrong. Is it so difficult to admit defeat and admit your mistakes?"

Li Mingsheng said with a gloomy face: "Han Bureau, it doesn't matter if we lose the case. As the detachment leader, I don't have to do anything, but the corps has upheld our accident determination. The corps supports us so much. We...we can't drag the corps into the water."

Wu Yugui added cautiously: "And this is not as simple as admitting defeat. You also have to bear the legal fees. The legal fees are 500,000. How can the branch have so much money to hand over to the court."

"You can't afford to lose, so you can only be tough?"

"We really can't afford to lose. We really can't lose this lawsuit!"

Han Yu didn't want to watch them make mistakes again and again, and said bluntly: "There is no lawsuit that cannot be lost in the world. Whether this lawsuit will be lost or not is beyond our control. I will go to Qi Bureau and talk to the corps. On the other side... I will probably go to Hanwu again at the corps level."

"Han Bureau, you mean..."

"It's already embarrassing enough, and we can't be embarrassed anymore. We will go to the Intermediate People's Court tomorrow and withdraw the appeal application. According to the first-instance judgment, the responsibility for the fire accident will be re-determined."

"What about the legal fees?"

"Isn't it just 500,000? If the bureau doesn't have anything to borrow, just spend 500,000 to buy a lesson."

"This lesson is too expensive."

"Now that I know Gui, what have you done?"

The fire detachment is different from the criminal investigation detachment. It was established by Han Yu when he was the deputy detachment leader. In addition, he has been either the secretary-general of the Binjiang Water Fire Fighting Association or the chairman of the Binjiang Branch of the China Water Fire Fighting Association more than once in recent years. They were reminded to be more cautious when putting out fires, to be more cautious when investigating and identifying fire accidents, to learn more about laws and regulations, and to listen to more professional opinions.

Now that something like this happened, Han Yu naturally didn't have a good look on his face. He stood up suddenly and said coldly: "You have to seriously reflect on how a good thing could end up like this. I will go to the bureau to ask for instructions and report." Do the overall ideological work!"

"Director Han, I'm sorry, I asked you to wipe our butt as soon as you come back."

"Wipe your butt... So you know that there is something wrong with the accident determination you made before?"

"I didn't know it at first, but later I found out, but we...but we couldn't help it."

"It's good to know, that's it for now."

There were many things that they had never thought of before. They had made it difficult for them to get off the ground without realizing it. In fact, the same was true for the whole situation.

First of all, he must consider not making any mistakes at the critical moment when the Changhang Public Security System is about to be transferred to an administrative structure. Secondly, he must not let the Water Security Corps, which had previously supported the branch, be dragged into the water.

But whether the lawsuit can be won or not is not up to the branch, not even to the Changhang Public Security Bureau.

Seeing Han Yu come in with the first-instance verdict, he asked with a wry smile: "Xianyu, the court is about to start again. I'm not familiar with the Intermediate Court. The deputy dean who was asked to find me didn't take into account what he said. Can you Can you help me think of a way to ask someone to say hello to the judge presiding over this case?"

"Qiju, what do we do, and what do others do?"

"But this case might really fail!"

"I know."

Bureau Qi really wanted Han Yu to go find the city leader, ask the city leader to help him greet the court, and asked in a low voice: "What should we do now?"

Han Yu pulled up his chair and sat down, and said: "Since we determined that there are problems in the accident, we should obey the judgment of the first instance and rectify it in a timely manner."

"Admit defeat, how do you want me to explain to the bureau leaders and team leaders?"

"I am the deputy chief in charge of fire protection. If my superiors insist on giving me an explanation, then I will be held accountable."

Who will hold you accountable, and who can hold you accountable!

Qi Bureau suddenly reacted and found that it was appropriate to let Han Yu take the blame. But after thinking about it, he frowned and said: "The problem now is not to re-determine the responsibility for the accident. It is as simple as apologizing to the ship owner. It is to bear the litigation costs." , the bureau only has hundreds of thousands in its account, where can I find 500,000 to pay the legal fees?"

Han Yu said without hesitation: "Borrow."

Qiju looked embarrassed and asked: "Who can we borrow from? Which bank will lend it to us?"

Everyone knows that the Changhang Shipping Branch is the internal guarantee of Binjiang Port Group. If Binjiang Port does not pay wages to the Changhang Shipping Branch, the whole branch will run out of food. It is really not easy to get a bank loan.

Han Yuzhen regretted being transferred back from the Smuggling Crime Investigation Bureau, and said helplessly: "The Water Fire Fighting Association has more than 100,000 yuan in its account, and the rescue boat brigade has more than 300,000 yuan in its account. If it is not possible, I can only use my power for personal gain and embezzle public funds once."

"I'm sorry that you have to encounter such a difficult matter as soon as you are transferred back."

"This money must be paid back!"

"Don't worry, I won't default on my debt, but I have to pay it in installments, otherwise I won't even have the money to pay the salary to the police and assisting police officers."

This director is really frustrated. He even has to borrow money from his subordinates to pay court fees. Bureau Qi looked at Han Yu's fear that he would default on the debt, and suddenly realized that Han Yu looked more like the director.

"Instalments are fine, but they must be repaid within one year." Han Yu took a deep breath and continued: "It's not too late to make up for the situation. Next, we must strengthen legal education. We can't do this again. Otherwise, no matter how much money we have, it won't be enough." I lost the lawsuit.”

"I know. I have discussed it with the old director. We will organize a training in a few days and invite legal experts to give a good talk."

"Then I'll leave first."

"Go and get busy."

…

When he got off work, Han Yu decided to take the blame for the fire brigade, and the news that he was about to lose money and admit defeat spread throughout the branch.

Li Guangrong pulled Han Yu, who had just finished get off work and was about to go home, and said calmly: "Secretary Han, you are courageous and responsible!"

"Director Li, stop joking. There is nothing I can do. Anyway, if this lawsuit continues, we will definitely lose. Rather than being forced to do so by the court, it is better to admit defeat."

“No one can enforce us through court enforcement.”

"Although I say that, we are law enforcement officers and we cannot break the law. And if we insist on delaying and refusing to obey the judgment, the plaintiff will definitely not agree. If the quarrel continues, the consequences will be very bad!"

"It makes sense. When encountering this kind of thing, the long-term pain is indeed worse than the short-term pain. The key is not that everyone is as responsible as you, and only you dare to cut through the mess quickly."

"Who asked me to be in charge of fire protection? If I had known, we should have drawn lots when studying the division of labor. Whoever caught the fire brigade would be asked to wipe this ass."

"Hahaha, it's too late to regret now."

Li Guangrong was amused. He looked back behind him and leaned into his ear: "Secretary Han, I just wanted to say one less thing. You are not only courageous and responsible, but also rich. If you are courageous and responsible but don't have money, , that’s just a broken jar, a pile of rubbish, and I can’t cut it even if I want to.”

I have to admit that there is some truth in what Lao Li said.

After all, there is a price for admitting defeat. If you can't get half a million, you can't admit defeat even if you want to.

Thinking that he couldn't do anything without money, Han Yu stopped and said: "Bureau Li, the money to pay the legal fees is all borrowed. Since it is a loan, it must be repaid. I am leaving the day after tomorrow, and I plan to make arrangements before leaving. Let the fire brigade organize full-time fire police from each police station to conduct a water fire safety inspection."

It had been agreed long ago that Li Guangrong would be in charge of the fire brigade while he was serving as the "escort captain" for the visiting formation.

How could Li Guangrong fail to hear the implication of Han Yu's words and asked in surprise: "Really? No matter which unit, as long as fire hazards are discovered, they will be punished?"

"Heavy punishment! Those who refuse to change despite repeated admonitions will be punished to the fullest!" Han Yu took a deep breath and added: "For those responsible who do not cooperate with the investigation and punishment, the administrative detention will be administrative detention according to regulations!"

There are many units in the jurisdiction, either large state-owned enterprises like Binjiang Port Group or Sino-foreign joint ventures like COSCO Kawasaki.

Li Guangrong said with a grimace: "Secretary Han, you are putting me on the fire!"

"The new official takes office with three things in mind. If he doesn't make some noise, who will know you, Bureau Li?"

"I don't need people to know me. If they really find me here, I will blame you and say it's all your fault."

"You can just push me." Han Yu wiped his sweat and whispered: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and we have entered a period of high incidence of fire accidents. There is no harm in stricter inspections and more severe penalties."

As a veteran Changhang Public Security Police officer, Li Guangrong is very aware of the importance of water fire management, but he also knows that the water fire detachment has created a big hole in the branch, and that this hole must be filled as soon as possible. He hesitated and clenched his fists and said : "Don't worry, I will try to pay back the borrowed money before you come back."

We are worthy of being classmates who went to party school together, and we have a tacit understanding.

Although Han Yu thought so too, he still said seriously: "Fines are just a means, not an end."

"I understand, I will grasp the scale."

"please."

"What are you talking about? When are you leaving? I'll take you to the airport."

"There's no need to give it away. I'm going to Guangzhou with my wife's investment promotion group. She has a car there."
