Public relations report - Shiba Division of Tokyo FD (apparently "Shiba" translates to "Turf" somehow - but its all the same Division - they have 1 large fire station and 2 small fire stations - large station probably has 2 Eng + 1 Ldr + 1 Rescue - the small stations probably have 2 pumpers each - all stations have ambulances - crews of 4 or 5 on pumpers - 4 on Ldr - 3 on ambs)
http://www.tfd.metro.tokyo.jp/hp-siba/shasinkan.html#dansouhou this is very interesting - you can translate it via Chrome or Google or whatever - the Chrome translation is pretty good "pipe" = area or diagram they give awards to people who make CPR rescues note that they have a volunteer fire force of their own - they got third prize in the muster also note that the Zenjoji Temple has its own self defense fire force - backed up by the Tokyo Prince Hotel self defense fire brigade and the Keio University self-defense fire brigade - and they can flow water thru hose streams they had comedians at a fire safety day =============================== Looks like Tokyo has 3 layers of fire service - the paid FD - the volunteer FD (small pumpers - maybe no SCBA) - they do have FD UHF portable radios I think - have their own volunteer fire stations - the self defense fire brigades (at temples and hotels and universities etc - maybe no pumpers - maybe no SCBA - maybe they just use hydrant water) - probably use mtnce workers and security guards on internal radio systems -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
