November 9th (Thur) – 15th (Wed)Fire prevention week campaigns will be held all over the country. In winter, air gets dry, which can causea fire. In order to protect our lives and property, each of us should focus a bit more on fire prevention.

Regular checks are necessary

Checking or changing fire alarms are easier than you think. Push a button or pull astring to start the alarm to make sure it works properly. If the alarm doesn’t work wellor it has been there for more than 10 years, it should be replaced.

What is a fire alarm?
Fire alarms should be set on the ceiling where they can easily detect smoke and heat in case of a fire.
When a fire starts, they will emit a loud beeping noise to inform and warn you of the danger.

Types of residential fire alarms and tips for installation♦ Bedroom, staircase ・・・・・ Smoke Type alarm is recommended.
♦ Kitchen, living room ・・・・・ You can choose either Smoke Type or Heat Type,but as for the kitchen, Heat Type is recommended.

When you encounter a fire or someone needs emergency medication, call “119”. Your swift
reaction makes a difference, so please make sure you know how to call in an emergency.
Let’s learn how to make emergency “119” calls from your cellphone.

Emergency report system
When people cannot communicate verbally because of their physical disability, they canaccess 119 through the internet by using a smart-phone. Please ask any nearby fire station
or social welfare section for details.

Emergency calls in multiple languages
For people who are not confident enough to speak in Japanese, the call center uses a multi-language service
via a three-way call. 5 languages (English, Korean, Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish) are available.

Visualize the site
When you make an emergency call with your smart-phone, you can send pictures to thecall center that show the site and the condition of the injured person. The call center could
ask you to send photos in order to send help as soon as possible.

Be aware of your smartphone’s emergency call functions
Some smartphone models will automatically make an emergency call when they perceive shocks.
When people drop or shake their smartphones hard or if your children play with them, some smartphones
have been known to report it as an emergency without the user knowing.
If a wrong report happens, please contact the call center immediately. You can also change the settings forthe auto-report function.
