The identification of fire accident liability has three distinct characteristics:
1、 The particularity of the subject. The determination of the responsibility for fire accidents is made by the public security fire control institution according to law. The public security fire control institution is an internal institution of the public security organ, and it is authorized by the Fire Control Law to be the subject of administrative law enforcement; But at the same time, the public security fire fighting force is also a force that implements the active service system in our country, and is a component of our armed police. As a result, China's fire protection work has formed a very distinctive Chinese characteristic of "military law enforcement".
2、 Scientific. After the fire, due to the destructiveness of the fire and the destruction of fire fighting on the scene, finding out the cause of the fire has become a worldwide problem, which needs to be achieved through technical means with high scientific and technological content, thus making the determination of fire accident liability based on the investigation of fire causes also have distinctive scientificity.
3、 The quasi judicial nature in fact. To correctly determine the responsibility, in addition to the requirement that the person responsible for the fire accident should have the relevant professional and technical background (be able to correctly analyze the factual causal relationship between the three elements of fire and the fire and comprehensively master the fire administrative management laws and regulations), the person responsible for the fire accident should also be familiar with the principle of liability fixation, Be able to correctly analyze the legal causal relationship between the behavior of the responsible person causing the fire (including the behavior leading to the spread and diffusion of the fire) and the consequences of the fire damage. The basic quality of legal professionals is the mastery of legal liability knowledge and the requirement for logical analysis ability.
