In order to be fully prepared for high-frequency fires during the peak summer period, fire fighters throughout Chongqing have kept up routine training despite the high temperatures.

At a fire control training center in Jiulongpo District, fire fighters wore fire prevention equipment weighing at least 40kg as part of their regular training routine. "Their fire prevention suit is so heavy, it is hard to imagine how they can run so fast," stated a journalist from a local Jiulongpo television station. (CQNEWS) (Translated by Liu Kan)
