Recruitment of fire brigade staff

While usually possessing his own occupations and studies, fire brigade plays a role as a leader in fire prevention and disaster prevention in the area during normal times, as well as in firefighting and vigilance in the event of a disaster.
In recent years, the number of fire brigade members has been declining and the population is aging, so we are working to secure young members who will lead the future.
In the future, we would like to call on employees of local companies and university students to join the company to revitalize the fire brigade and further enhance the regional disaster prevention system.

fire brigade is a part-time local government employee.
You can join if you are 18 years of age or older and live, work, or attend school in Yokohama City.

You can join from the third grade of high school who is 18 years old.

Even now, third-year high school students, vocational school students, and university students are still active!
