On January 14, the Sichuan Fire and Rescue General Mobile Corps was officially inaugurated in Chengdu. The corps will primarily undertake rescue operations for forest and grassland fires, seismic and geological disasters, snow, ice, and freezing events, flood disasters, and nuclear, biological, and chemical incidents across Sichuan, Chongqing, and Xizang. It will also conduct aerial rescue missions, strengthen integrated ground-air firefighting capabilities, and fulfill tasks assigned by the Ministry of Emergency Management and the Party committees and governments of the respective provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities.

The corps originated from the Sichuan Provincial Forest Firefighting General Corps, established in 2002. It has participated in five earthquake relief operations and over 100 emergency disaster response missions. As a key force in combating forest fires in Southwest China, it has completed more than 800 fire suppression operations and over 1,500 fire prevention duty assignments.

In November 2018, as part of the national reform that transformed specialized firefighting units into a comprehensive emergency rescue force, the corps shifted from its original singular focus on forest and grassland fire prevention and suppression to a broader mandate encompassing fire, earthquake, mountain, and water rescue operations. Since the transition, it has been deeply involved in Sichuan's special rectification and routine governance initiatives for forest and grassland fire prevention, contributing to a year-on-year decline in wildfire incidents, which have remained at historically low levels. Through specialized research-based training, tactical innovation, and technological integration, the corps has established 23 specialized rescue detachments and the nation's first drone squadron within the forest firefighting system, successfully completing 150 forest fire responses and 88 comprehensive rescue missions.
