hey - whats that down the alley? thats what I was looking for actually - 大森消防団 第1分団 - Ota City Vols - Branch 1 they probably have a tiny pickup truck with 2 portable pumps and some hose - plus a rescue tool (big breaker bar) - plus 4 UHF portable radios - I dont think they have SCBA - maybe some do and some dont - so they would only do exterior firefighting mostly if they dont have a tiny truck - then they probably have a portable pump on wheels that they can drag down the street - most streets in Tokyo seem to be straight and level not sure who the staffing is - they are "volunteers" but they get a small salary - maybe retired firefighters and 18yos - I suspect they are alerted via phone apps and/or sirens - they only get alerted for typhoons I think - plus earthquakes nearly all of the volunteer stations are like this - 1 small bay door plus a room upstairs - upstairs is a training room and a storage room - I think they have close to 500 of these volunteer stations throughout Metro Tokyo - to back up the 300 paid stations Can you imagine if FDNY or LAFD tried to add 500 volunteer stations? - lol - it would be the end of the world -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
