Beijing News (Reporter Bo Qiyu, Correspondent Chen Shengyao, Li Qiuqi) Seesaw, plum blossom pile, single-plank bridge... These are all "physical devil subjects" that are horizontally in front of the search and rescue dogs. "Cheese, go!" On the search and rescue dog training ground of the Dali Prefecture Forest Fire Brigade of Yunnan Forest Fire Brigade, trainer He Jinbiao raised his right hand high. Seeing this, the fire rescue dog "Chica" immediately rushed to the single-plank bridge, passed through the circle frame, moved quickly on the high-altitude plum blossom pile, and passed through 15 groups of obstacle facilities in four categories. The instructor said that "Ches" had participated in the search and rescue mission of missing persons in Cangshan and a number of rescue missions, and won the first place in this year's team's search and rescue dog competition.

The horse dog on the training ground of the search and rescue dog is called "Ches". It is energetic and quick-moving. It faces obstacle boards and plum blossom stakes with different heights and fluctuations, without any ambiguity, and jumps up. Every time the training is completed, the instructor He Jinbiao will say "Okay" and then pat the chest of "cheese" to show recognition.

Search and rescue dog "cheese" passed the suspension bridge obstacle training. Source: Instructor He Jinbiao, the trainer of Yunnan Forest Fire Brigade, introduced that the agility barrier is set up based on the unstable structure at the earthquake site, and the search and rescue dogs are required to pass slowly according to the instructions of the trainer. Different scenarios also correspond to different scenes of earthquake ruins. Therefore, through training in the comprehensive training ground, on the one hand, the independence of the search and rescue dogs through obstacles and the continuity of their work can be improved, and at the same time, the psychological quality and continuous operation time of the search and rescue dogs can be improved to help them better adapt to the environment of the earthquake disaster site and improve their search and rescue capabilities.

"'Chesy' is the first search and rescue dog in our detachment. He is only over 1 year old. Although it is thin, it has a sensitive sense of smell, fast speed and strong explosive power. On the training ground, it is a brave ' special forces '. But as long as the training is completed, it becomes a baby who seeks praise and acts cute and coquettish. At this time, it will be rewarded, give it the toys it likes to play with, and give it a meal when it performs well." He Jinbiao said.

Dali Prefecture Forest Fire Brigade told Beijing News reporter that behind an excellent fire search and rescue dog is the hardships and perseverance of the trainer for countless days and nights. The work of the trainer seems interesting and can live and train with the cute dogs, but in fact they repeat monotonous and mechanical commands and actions every day; the search and rescue dogs look soft and cute, but in fact they are responsible for search and rescue tasks at various disaster sites, exploring every miracle of life in ruins, and are affectionately called "silent comrades-in-arms" by firefighters. One person and one dog, they have become close and dependent on life and death, and they have trained together to form a special rescue force, fighting on the front line at the critical moment of rescue and rescue, just to protect the safety of people's lives and property.
