"Experience the" land, sea, and air firefighting "with hometown tax payment!"

Last Updated October 21, 2024

 City of Yokohama, Fire Bureau is accepting donations to promote firefighting measures such as renewal of vehicles, enhancement of equipment and materials, and awareness of fire prevention.

 This time, we donate a certain amount of money to Yokohama City using the oldness and tax payment system, and use the donation "8. I want to support Yokohama firefighting! (Improvement of firefighting power) For those who have selected the “Firefighting power of the sea” to those who wish, in addition to the existing “Firefighting of the Sea” experience, “Land” and “Sky” experience will be added to the “Firefighting experience of land, sea, and air”.
 Through this experience, we will have you realize the safety and security of Yokohama, promote the appeal of Yokohama City and Yokohama Fire Department, and aim to be a city and organization that many people can get closer to each other.

 By all means, please apply for hometown tax payment to Yokohama City.

※This privilege is different from "return goods" in the hometown tax payment system, and is also applicable to those who live in Yokohama city. (There is no "return goods" for residents of the city.)
