建国后,政府对福州救火会加以改造,清除传统势力的影响,使公权力嵌入救火会,体现了人民当家作主原则。政府之所以采取改造方针,主要基于现实需要,地处对台前沿、城市建设的缓慢、公安消防力量的不足、街道组织功能的缺失,使福州火情仍较为严峻,只有调动民间力量,才能有效遏制火灾,因此救火会得以延续,虽曾两度撤销,却能迅速复兴。但较之解放前,福州救火会性质有所改变,其业务以消防为主,受到政府严格管理,并不再以神缘为纽带,依托社境组织运行。救火会性质的嬗变,是社会结构变迁的综合反映,政府的改造举措客观上起到推动作用。 After the founding of the People’s Republic, the government transformed Fuzhou’s firefighting corps to remove the influence of traditional forces and embedded public power into the firefighting conference, embodying the principle that the people should be the masters of the country. The reason why the government adopted the reform principle is mainly based on the actual needs. It is located in the forefront of Taiwan, the slow construction of the city, the inadequacy of the fire power of the public security and the lack of function of street organization, so that the fire situation in Fuzhou is still harsh. Only by mobilizing the private forces can it be effective. To curb the fire, so the fire will be able to continue, although twice withdrawn, but can quickly revive. However, compared with the liberation, the nature of fire fighting in Fuzhou has changed. Its business is dominated by fire and is strictly controlled by the government. It no longer operates on the fringes of God and relies on social organizations. The evolution of the nature of fire-fighting society is a comprehensive reflection of the changes in social structure. The government’s reform measures objectively play a catalytic role.
