that is an honest to gawd volunteer fire station in tokyo - they probably have a portable pump on wheels in there - and some hose and some fire helmets and coats - and maybe some rescue tools / breaker bars cistern = large underground tank of water the volunteers seem to be mostly retired firefighters around 60 years old - but 25% of the vols are now young women there is nothing like this in the usa anywhere afaik - tokyo has these stations / lockers all over the city - even downtown - and they have larger volunteer stations also (they have mini engines - which are tiny cargo trucks that carry the portable pumps and 4 person crews) west yosemite in california does have hose boxes on the street corners - but I dont think they have anyone specifically trained to use them - this is a residential neighborhood near Yosemite Natl Park - this is the only place in North America that has hose on street corners some parts of Japan even have fire extinguishers on the street corners -- shes got a kid ... together - https://youtu.be/IQQ-hxIwm70?si=8jrwZRcfZg-vN4Ye&t=237 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
