When I went to the hospital this time with my son it was a day of the fire drill of the hospital once a year on that day.
We heard the announcement ''The fire drill starts by the assumption that broke out in the hospital at 2:30PM, a siren will be wailing but don't be in a panic, it is training.''
I thought, it was good chance to introduce you Japanese style of fire drill on the my blog, so I was ready to bring camera.
The fire station is everywhere in the world,but the uniform and the fire engine vary from country to country.
This is a big fire engine with ladder.
My son was so excited to see it.
He call it ''uuuuu kankan''
Because, the fire engine of Japan emits such a sound.
The flag like the photograph above is given on the spot of fire to show the place where the commander assumes leadership.
I didn't know it.
Is it only Toyohashi fire staiont? or all Japanese fire station??
mmmm I don't know because I have never been in situation of a real fire.
However, this flag doing style is really old isn't it?
It is like a war at Warring States Period.
but it looks cool too.
When the fire broke out at the hospital, it is hard to patients take refuge from a fire.
Therefore, not only the fireman but also the doctor in the hospital was training this day together.
It is practiced that patients take a slide down from the veranda of the second floor.
Whether it is possible to escape only by the person related to the hospital is tested by using the fire escape equipment being set up by the hospital.
The next training is the situation of help person who runs up to rooftop with ladder truck.
The doctor and the fireman are the occupations of children's yearnings in Japan.
a reporter for the local news paper, he was there then interview to my son
''boy,Which do you want to become in the future?''
''well, well, mmmm can't choose it'' both would be nice !! mummy thought it.
