Aoba Battalion of Yokohama FD

https://www.city.yokohama.lg.jp/kurashi/bousai-kyukyu-bohan/shobo/shobosho/aoba/aoba-top.html
- Aoba Battalion HQ - 2 pumpers + 1 ladder + 1 minipumper + ? 1
motorcycle + 1 command van + 1 ambulance + 1 fuel truck

- 6 sub stations - eah has 1 pumper and 1 motorcycle - approx

maybe they have some very tight neighborhoods where they need to send
in the motorcycles first to see whats going on - or maybe they use the
motorcycles just for earthquakes - or maybe just as first responders
to get thru heavy traffic

I suspect if this was an industrial part of the city they would have
some foam/chemical pumpers also

this is the paid FD - I think they have 18 battalions in the city -
kinda like Los Angeles (which also has a population of 4 million iirc)

the volunteers are separate from the paid guys - they have their own
small stations and mini pumpers
