Interview with a member

Soka City Fire Fighting Parties

What was the motivation to join the firefighting party?

I heard that the members of age 50 or under who have been a member for less than three years can study the basic knowledge about disaster activities at a fire academy, so I decided to join a party for myself and for my family.

Can women or students join the parties?

There are 15 female members at present. We have a certification system* for the activities of student firefighting parties.
* The system in which the mayor issues a certificate to students who took part in the activities of firefighting parties.

Do you have any good memories?

A fire broke out in the house of one of my acquaintances and I rescued him, who said, "Thank you. You saved my life." That was a really happy moment as a member of a firefighting party.

Reporter's Note by the Public Information Section

The member, who cooperated with our report joined the section 3 of the branch 3 last April, talked about the reason of joining, "I want to contribute to the community with what I can." He had an AED lifesaving training the other day.
When a colleague broke down at the workplace, before the training, his head went blank.
The reporter was reminded of the importance of daily preparation and training to prepare against emergency.
