For small-scale multi-purpose building owners and tenants

On October 1, 2008, the fire of a private video store in Osaka City had a great social impact, including the loss of 15 precious lives.

In addition, in the fire in Shinjuku Kabukicho, which occurred on September 1, 2001, in addition to building owners, tenant managers and store managers who are the owners of management under the Fire Services Act, have been guilty of violating fire management obligations.

In order to prevent such disasters from happening again, we ask you not only to comply with fire laws and regulations, but also to ensure that building owners and tenants hold thorough discussions and conduct voluntary inspections and regular fire drills.

Each fire department provides guidance and support for evacuation drill, etc. For details, please contact the nearest fire department.
