History
China's Fire and Rescue Force was formed in 1995. Prior to this, fires were attended to by specialized departments under the police force. On 11 April 1998, the parliament discussed the possibility of forming an unified organization for spearheading national civil defense, emergency response, and disaster relief operations. The basic structure of this new force was outlined in the Civil Defense Act of 1999.
On 1 July 1999, the China Civil Defense Force was officially established as an organization under the Ministry of the Interior. The newly formed CCDF mainly operated in facilities which were transferred from the FPC Armed Forces (CAF) or the FPC Police Force (CPF). In 2005, the National Airborne Service Corps (NASC) was created and merged with CCDF in the same year, boosting CCDF's aviation capabilities. Since its formation, CCDF's involvement in numerous disaster relief operations has raised its profile significantly both in domestic and abroad.
