When is the National Fire Day a publicity day?

The annual National Fire Day is 1 1.9.

China Fire Publicity Day is 1 1.9, which was initiated on 1992, and the number of months and days are completely consistent with the fire alarm telephone number 1 19. On this day, China will widely carry out various forms of fire safety publicity activities, raise the awareness of fire safety of the whole people, and promote the socialization process of fire control work.

1992, the Ministry of Public Security issued a notice to designate 1 1.9 as "1 19 Fire Publicity Day" every year. The purpose of this activity is because winter is a season of frequent fires. In order to do a good job in winter fire prevention, "1 19 Fire Prevention Publicity Day" was taken as an opportunity to kick off the winter fire prevention.

"1 19 Fire Publicity Day" refers to the period when centralized fire safety publicity activities with wide contents and various forms are carried out in order to improve the fire safety awareness of the whole people and promote the socialization process of fire control work.

In the past, the telephone number of fire alarm in China was "09", because before 1970s, the special communication in China was "0". At the end of 1970s, China's communication service number was changed from "0" to "1 1". According to the requirements of standardized management, the fire alarm telephone number is uniformly set to "1 19", which is the homonym of "to be rescued" in Chinese. Because "1 19" is an annual fire publicity day in China, it has actually become a fire festival in China.
