next to the pictures of the radios possibly it says the radios are on
the same wavelength as the paid FD
there are 580 volunteer firefighters in Minato approx - around 50 are
women or students - 25 of the women quit - there are only 1 or 2
retired firefighters amongst them
there are 4 volunteer fire brigades in Minato Ward - Shiba has 220
volunteers - Azaba has 120 volunteers - Takanawa has 110 vols -
Akasaka has 130 vols
the total population of Minato Ward is 243,00 as of 2015 per
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minato,_Tokyo - area is 28 square
kilometers - there are many embassies there
the 4 volunteer bridges apparently are based on the ward boundaries
that existed in 1947 - all of the older wards were merged in 1947 to
form the Minato Ward
that is a healthy number of volunteers in a small area - pretty sure
that they only respond during earthquakes or tsunamis or typhoons etc
next to the picture of the mini fire engine and pump cart it says
something about the pump is pretty much permanently affixed to the
mini cargo truck - not sure how the cart fits in - maybe they have 2
portable pumps at their little volunteer stations - 1 on the cart and
1 on the mini cargo truck - or maybe they just have 1 pump; that goes
on the cart; which goes on the mini cargo truck
