There are not enough firefighters in the fire department; many people were saved during the Noto Peninsula earthquake.
Fire department members usually have other jobs, but when a fire or disaster occurs nearby, they put out the fire and help the townspeople.
I helped people evacuate from the tsunami and rescued people from destroyed homes.
We also repaired roads and patrolled the town, which we don’t usually do.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, about 2.02 million people were in fire departments in 1954, but last year the number was about 760,000.
Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Matsumoto said on the 6th, ``I think the Noto Peninsula earthquake made many people realize how important the fire brigade is.’’
He also told cities and towns across Japan to increase the number of firefighters in case a disaster occurs.
