The difference between Chinese mainland fire protection and Hongkong fire protection.

All provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions have armed police fire brigades; There is an armed police fire brigade in the prefecture (city, state and league); Fire brigades under the jurisdiction of counties (cities, banners) are also the business organizations of public security organs at all levels.

The Fire Department of the Ministry of Public Security has an office, a political department, a policy research department, a fire supervision department, a standards and norms department, a training department, a police department, a science and technology department, a propaganda department, a logistics and equipment department, an audit department and a finance department, which are responsible for the unified organization, command, coordination and leadership of national fire control work.

Each area is subdivided into 4-6 sub-districts and administrative groups, and there are different numbers of fire stations under each sub-district to provide fire-fighting services to the public.

In addition to the three action areas, there are headquarters area, fire safety area, permit and approval area, rescue area and administrative area. And these areas are subdivided into many branches.
