News from Hodogaya fire brigade

Mr. Kubota, Director of fire brigade, Mr. Kubota

 Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation in fire brigade activities.
 Due to the effects of recent earthquakes, typhoons, torrential rainfalls and other factors, the roles required of fire brigade are becoming more diversified and larger.
 Currently, in the case of normal disaster response, although it can be covered by public firefighting power, it is expected that fires and rescue cases will occur frequently in the event of a large-scale earthquake such as an earthquake directly below the capital occurs. It is difficult to respond with only public firefighting power.
 Therefore, in order to protect the town of Hodogaya, community support, which helps each other to protect themselves, government support, support from public institutions, is important. The fire brigade connects the chain ofself supportfire brigade.
 In December 2013, a law concerning the enhancement and enhancement of regional disaster prevention capabilities centered on the fire brigade. In light of the fact that fire brigade is indispensable as the core of regional disaster prevention capabilities, the national and local governments have been working to enhance and improve treatment, equipment, education and trainingfire brigadefire brigade employees.
 Based on strong cooperation with Hodogaya fire department, Hodogaya fire brigade, in close cooperation with the fire brigade, we will continue to maintain a 100% member satisfaction rate, training for young members, training and training leaders, equipment handling equipment and materials, as well as conducting long-distance water supply training that takes water from the Katabira River.

  • [fire brigade with high disaster response capabilities]

Based on the slogan of "Protect the lives and property of the inhabitants of the ward" and "Protect our town will be protected."
