This is a day in the life of a Japanese firefighter
今回は日本の消防士の1日に密着すっぞ!
This is Soushi
彼の名はSOUSHI、22歳 東京に住む消防士で今起きるところだ
a 22 year old firefighter in Tokyo
ここは普通のマンションに見えるかもしれねぇけど
and he's just waking up to start his day
単身待機宿舎って呼ぶんだ
This may look like a regular Japanese apartment
直訳するとSINGLE WAITING DORMITORYかな
but it's known as
消防署が提供する宿舎で
'Tanshin Taikishukusa' in Japanese
緊急事態が発生した時、 例えば大きな災害があった時なんかに
which directly translated means
ここに住む消防士がすぐ出場できるようになってんだ
"A single waiting dormitory"
消防士は全員ここに住んでんのか?
as it's provided by the fire department
SOUSHIは、家で朝食を食うようにしてる
In an emergency situation,
シフトが始まる前にしっかり腹ごしらえしねぇとな!
such as a large natural disaster,
チョコクリームを食えば 間違いなく腹いっペーになるな!
it makes it easy for the firefighters living here
日本のサラリーマンと同様、 SOUSHIはスーツを着て通勤するんだ
to quickly gather and help with any efforts
通勤時間がたった10分でもだぞ
Do all firefighters live in this type of facility?
SOUSHIは消防士になって4年目
Soushi usually eats breakfast at home
消防士は英語でFIREFIGHTERだな
making sure he fuels up before his shift
広島で高校を卒業後、1年間焼き鳥屋で働きながら 消防士になるための勉強をしたんだって
I guess that chocolate spread on his toast
試験に受かってから上京したんだ
gets him up for the day ahead
密着シリーズ再開だぞ
Like most Japanese salarymen
今回はちょっと特別、、、 24時間の密着なんだ!
he also wears a suit to work,
そろそろここにSOUSHIが来るはずだぞ
even though his office commute
今朝の調子はどうか聞いてみようぜ
is only a 10 minute walk away
昨日はよく眠れた?
Soushi is in his fourth year as a shoboshi,
ここがSOUSHIの職場
in English a firefighter
城東消防署 砂町出張所だ
After high school in Hiroshima
東京には消防拠点が全部で303あって、 18620人の消防職員が東京を守ってるんだ
he studied for the firefighter exam
消防署にエレベーターはあるんだけど
for one year while working at a yakitori restaurant
日本の消防士は体力づくりのためにも 階段を使うことが多いんだ
After passing, he relocated to Tokyo
SOUSHI、そりゃなんだ?
I am back with another "Day in the Life"
日本の消防士は10段階の階級がある
This one is going to be special
階級によってバッジの星と ストライプの数が変わるんだ
because we're doing a full 24 hours
SOUSHI含め、消防士はみんな 最初の階級からスタート仕組みになってるぞ
Soushi should be coming around the corner right now
つまり、 星一つとストライプ一本からのスタートだ
let's see how he's doing this morning
次の階級に上がるためには、 勤務成績と試験で選考が行われる
Good morning.
SOUSHIのの場合は約4年後だから、もうすぐだな!
Did you sleep well last night?
日本で消防士になるためには
And this is Soushi's office,
なかなか大変な採用試験に受からなきゃなんねぇんだ
the Joto Fire Station, Tokyo Sunamachi branch
しかも 年に一度しか行われねぇ
In Tokyo there are a total of 303 fire stations coving the entire area
試験は筆記試験と体力試験があるんだって
with about 18,600 firefighters at the ready
採用人数には限りがあるから、 日本で消防士になるにはかなり競争率が高い
Although the fire station has an elevator
去年なんて、倍率14倍だぞ!
it's fairly standard for Japanese firefighters
つまり、全体の約7%が受かった計算になるよな
to use the stairs throughout the day
SOUSHI、今何してんだ?
Soushi, what's that?
本部から日々重要な情報が送られてくるから
In Japan, firefighters have 10 different ranks
出勤したら、まずはその書類に目を通すんだ
Badges have different numbers of stars & stripes
今何してんだ?
All firefighters like Soushi start at the 1st rank,
日本の消防士のシフトは24時間
one star and one stripe
シフトが入れ替わる時には、「大交替」が行われる
To earn a promotion to the next rank, the department will review
前の部と今から入る部で別れて並ぶんだ
Soushi's performance and test results after around four years
前の部は、シフト中に起きた出来事を正確に伝える
So he's almost there!
例えば、どこで火災が起きて、何回出場したとか
And to become a firefighter in Tokyo
他にも引き継ぎが必要なことは 全て漏れなく伝えるぞ
applicants must pass an exhaustive
大交替は1日の中で特に重要な時間の一つ
fire department recruitment examination
緊急事態が発生した時、 消防士は安全かつすばやく行動する必要があるだろ?
that's held only once a year
ここで引き継がれる情報はその際に必要なってくるんだ
Which includes both a written and physical exam
今は朝の点検中
Each year there are only a limited number of positions
ここで、資器材や車両に異常がないかチェックするんだ
so becoming a Japanese firefighter
あ、SOUSHIが防火衣を着てるぞ
is highly competitive
英語だとBUNKER GEARだな
Last year only 1 out of 14 applicants,
防火衣を着用して、不備がないか隈なくチェックするんだ
about seven percent,
彼の命にかかわることだからな
were able to pass the full exam
自分の装備を点検した後は チームメンバーと一緒に車両の点検を行う
Soushi, what are you doing now?
車両のライトから、扉が全てスムーズに開くかなど
Apparently every day headquarters
緊急事態には、1秒でも早く動きたいからな
sends documents to all the firefighters,
次は、 消防活動に使う資器材の点検だ
so one of his first tasks in the morning is to read through all of the material
一つ一つめちゃくちゃ丁寧にチェックするんだ
What are you doing now?
もうすぐ終わりそうだな
In Japan, the firefighters work a 24-hour shift
くまなく点検してたように見えたぞ
and it officially commences at a large meeting called 'daikotai'
次はなんだろな
The previous day's shift lines up on one side
朝のストレッチをしてるみてぇだ
while the incoming shift lines up on another
全員同じ動きをしてるぞ
During the meeting, the previous team will inform
クールだ!
the incoming shift all of the details
あ、SOUSHIがリードしてる!
for any incidents during their shift
ストレッチが終わると防火衣がきちんと 着装できてるかのチェック
Such as locations,
この後は訓練をするぞ
how many times they were sent out, and any other important matters
今なにしてんだ?
This is one of the most critical points of the day
ホースをくるくるするのは、 空気を抜くためなんだって
as all of the information must be transferred accurately
それと、ホースをああやって折るのは 一番スムーズに使えるからなんだ
In case there's an event or disaster
どこの消防署のホースかがわかるように 漢字が書かれてるぞ
the firefighters must always act quickly and safely
10台以上の消防隊が駆けつけることもあるからな
based on the information they have
すげぇ数のホースになるんだろうな
Right now they're doing all of their morning checks
あ、訓練が始まりそうだぞ
They have to do this to make sure all the equipment is working
日本の消防士は60秒以内で出場できるんだ
as well as making sure
着替えだけじゃなくて、地図を読むのも含めでだぞ!
all of the vehicles are working properly
めっちゃはえー!
Oh! Soushi's putting on his bokai
今日の訓練は、2階の火災から人を救助する設定
AKA bunker gear
どんな火災や災害にも対応できるように 消防士は毎日違うシチュエーションで訓練するんだ
As part of his own morning inspection,
SOUSHIが初めて消防士として出場したのは 高所から転落した人の救助だったんだ
Soushi must fully try on his gear
でも、初めてだったから 緊張で手が震えて何もできなかったんだって
to ensure that every piece is working properly
チームからのサポートと訓練に励んだおかげで
Literally, his life depends on it
緊張しなくなったんだ
After verifying his equipment,
今では、自信を持って業務に取り組めるようになったぞ
the team must work together to inspect the fire truck
本当の火災では、煙で視界がほぼゼロに近い状態になる
Everything is checked, from the lights
だから、消防士はこうやって 蹴りながら足場を確認するんだ
all the way down to each door compartment opening smoothly
あ、人を発見!
Because in an emergency situation, every second counts
建物から人を助け出したら
Next the team inspects their firefighting equipment
地上へ下ろすんだ
to ensure that it's also in working order
自分の力で下に移動できない場合は
The check for each individual piece of equipment
ロープとかで固定して安全に下ろすぞ
is methodical and the entire process
緊迫感に溢れた訓練だったな
must be committed to the firefighter's memory
本当の火災だともっとすげーんだろうな
It looks like they're finishing up right now
それ重そうだな
That was a pretty comprehensive check
全部着用した状態でどのくらいの重さんなんだ?
Let's see what's next
体力を削られる訓練を終えたばっかりだけど
And now it looks like they're doing their morning stretches
訓練後すぐにの補充作業をするんだ
They're all doing it all in one motion,
すぐに出場することになるかもしれないからな
which is pretty cool
SOUSHIは消火活動や救助活動をする以外にも
Oh look, it's Soushi leading the group
申請や防火予防関連の受付などもするんだ
After stretches they quickly gear back up
今回は防火管理者講習を受ける市民の対応をしてるぞ
This time inspecting each other's gear
申請書を書くのをサポートしてるみたいだ
After this,
でも、この仕事を始めて長くはないから 不明点があると上司に確認をするようにしてるんだ
the team continues on with their daily firefighting training
オフィスでは担当の仕事があるのか?
What are you doing right now?
SOUSHIはしばらく仕事で手が離せなさそうだから
Rolling removes all the air bubbles
ちょっくら探検しに行こうぜ
and folding it as such is just the most efficient way to start
ここはトレーニングルームみてぇだな
before it gets extended during the live drill
ウェイトにベンチ、プルアップバーがあるぞ
Apparently the Kanji character on the hose identifies the fire station
スクワットラックもあるな
Useful in real life fire situations
消防車が寂しそうにしてるぞ
as there could be more than 10 fire trucks involved
たくさんある扉の中に何が入ってるか オラ、 いつも気になってたんだよな
That's a lot of hose!
よっしゃ、まずはここを開けてみようぜ
Oh it looks like they're just about to start
ほら!
Japanese firefighters are trying
あ、あれはさっきSOUSHIが点検してたサーチライトだ!
to get ready in under 60 seconds
煙で真っ暗な状況で使うライトだぞ
Full gear plus verifying
ここには面白いもんはねぇな
the incident destination and route on a map
ここにはたくさんホースが入ってる
That's so fast!
それにAEDもあるぞ
In today's drill,
これは、消防車が入れない場所にある 消火栓につなげるためのパイプだ
Soushi and his team are simulating the rescue
予備のブーツ!
of a person on the second floor of a burning building
よっしゃ、反対側も見に行こうぜ
Every day the firefighters must drill different sitations
フォームスプレー、泡で消火する時に使うやつ
in order to be prepared for
フォームパーティーができるじゃねーか!
whatever future incident or disaster may happen
予備のタンク
In Soushi's first call as a firefighter
あのオレンジのプレートはなんだ?
he had to help rescue a person who fell down from a high location
あーそうやって使うのか
But being his first time
スッゲー整理整頓されてる!
his hands were shaking so badly he couldn't perform
ここは非常用資機材庫って書いてある
Luckily with the support and encouragement from his team,
中に何が入っているか見てみようぜ
in addition to hard work on these type of training drills,
すげぇ!クールな物いっぺーあんぞ!
he was able to overcome
酸素ボンベの予備だろ
the nervousness he had on his first outing
ロープがめっちゃたくさん
He now operates with confidence
それにストレッチャー
In an actual fire,
ハイドロリックパワーカッターもあるぞ! これでメタルも切れるんだ
the entire room is usually engulfed with black smoke
本当の火災で出場するみてぇだ
and likely visibility close to zero
それで一旦ストップしなきゃなんなかったんだ
So firefighters are trained
今戻ってきたところ
to kick their legs out to check their surrounding
本当の火災じゃなかったみてぇだ 何があったのか聞いてみようぜ
Oh, they found him!
SOUSHI、何があったんだ?
Once the person is evacuated from inside
日本の火災原因の一番はたばこ 2番目は放火なんだぞ
the team must get the person down to the ground level
今は何してんだ?
If they are unable to make it down on their own
やったー昼メシだ!
the team is trained to secure them via ropes
今日は油淋鶏とチャーハン、チゲスープにヨーグルトを食うぞ
and lower them down safely
いつもコンビニ飯なのか?
Wow that was intense
今までは同僚と一緒に飯を食ってたんだけど
I could only imagine what a real fire would be like
コロナのせいで食事中は バラバラに座らなきゃいけなくなったんだ
That looks heavy
昼メシの後はミーティング ここで午後の動きを確認するぞ
How much does all of your gear weigh?
あ、所長だ
Although Soushi just completed an exhausting fire drill
日本のオフィスでは、一番上のポジションの人が 奥に離れて座るのが一般的だ
he and his team must be diligent
こんな感じでな
and ready their gear right after the training
メインのデスクアイランドとは離れて デスクを置くんだ
Again, in case they're called out to a real fire
出発だ!
In Japan, firefighters not only
SOUSHIは消防車の正式な運転手なんだ
fight fires and go out on emergency calls,
彼が運転するのは送水車
but they also assist local residents with permits
日本にはたくさんの種類の消防車があって もっと大きなタイプもある
and safety fire related matters
でも、東京の道は狭いから
This resident is here to register for a fire safety seminar
この車は東京の狭い道を、安全に素早く 運転できるようなサイズにしてるんだ
Soushi helps the resident complete the forms
送水車は現場に2番目に到着する車なんだ
but he's still relatively new and learning the ropes
そして、消火栓の隣に停める
So when he's unsure about something
火災の近くに最初に行く先行車へ、 消火栓から水を送るんだ
he checks with his superiors on proper procedures
何してんだ?
Do firefighters have a specific job in the office?
これは日本語で水利調査っていうんだ
It looks like Soushi's going to be tied up for a bit
消防士は管轄の消火栓がちゃんと使えるかを 月に2、3回点検するんだ
So while he's doing that
車や人に踏まれて マンホールが外れなくなることもあるから
let's go explore this place
緊急事態でもすぐに使えるように 点検しておくことが大切なんだ
Just behind me, it looks like their training room
これはちゃんと使そう?
They have some weights, they have a bench,
あ、戻ってきたぞ
they have a pull-up bar, a dip bar,
SOUSHI、今からはにをするんだ
and it looks like they have a squatting rack as well
消防士は、救急スキルも身に付けておく必要があるんだ
Hmm the fire truck looks a little bit lonely
今日はCPRやAEDを チームメイトと訓練することにしたぞ
I've always been curious to see what's behind
日本の消防士は1分も無駄にしないように感じるな
those compartment doors
なんで携帯を使ってるんだ
All right, first let's see what's in this one
東京消防庁のオフィシャル YouTubeチャンネルもあるぞ
Oh wow, can you see that?
救急手当や火災予防について わかりやすく説明した動画をアップしてるんだ
That's the searchlight system Soushi was inspecting earlier,
あ、筋トレしてる!
used in smoky blacked out conditions
出場していない時間帯は、自由に使えて 体を鍛えたり、体を休めたりするんだ
Not so interesting here.
訓練や出場がたくさんあったのに 筋トレをする体力が残ってるなんて、すげーぞ!
Nice more hose
今から何をするんだ
Plus ropes and an AED
今日のメニューは?
A fire hydrant pipe attachment used
朝食と夕食は当番の消防士が作るんだぞ
when the fire truck can't enter a place
みんな同じメシを食うんだ まさに、ファミリースタイル!
Extra boots
24時間シフト中、寝食を共にする仲間だから
Ok, that's this side
ただの仕事仲間っているよりも、家族に近い存在なんだ
Let's see the other side
こうやって信頼関係を築いてくんだな
Cool, a foam sprayer when water isn't enough
夕食の後は車両の点検をするぞ
or I guess if they're throwing a party
ライトの点検をするんだけど 夜だからチェックしやすそうだな
Some extra tanks
東京の消防署は、三グループが 24時間シフトを交代してる仕組みになってる
Oh, what are those orange plates?
ここの消防署では各グループ、 消防士と救急隊員含め全部で12人だ
Nice, I see what they did here
火災の大きさによっては 全員が出場することもあるんだって
Damn, seems pretty organized to me
この後、もう一度全員でミーティング
Oh look behind me it says 'emergency equipment storage'
今何してんだ?
Let's check what's inside
シフト中は常に出場待機なんだけど
Wow I didn't expect them to have all this cool stuff in here
今から夜の仮眠の時間まで、少しだけ自由な時間がある
Looks like they have spare oxygen tanks,
この時間を使って、勉強だけじゃなくて雑用もこなすんだ 例えば、洗濯を干したり、畳んだり
a whole bunch of ropes, a stretcher
みんなここで洗濯するのか?
Oh wow even a hydraulic powered cutter
経験の豊富なチームメイトと 消防や人命救助テクニックを学ぶ訓練をしたりもするぞ
to cut through metal
日本の先輩後輩の関係だ
Looks like there's a real fire going on right now
夜の時間は、日中の訓練での学びや消防スキルを じっくりものにする時間でもあるんだ
So we had to stop
消防士として働くってどういう感じなんだ?
All right, so they just got back
仮眠を取る前に手短にシャワーを浴 びるぞ
Apparently there was no actual fire
まだシフトは終わってないけど 数時間は休めるといいな
Let's see what happened
みんな、おはよー!
Soushi, what happened?
また早朝からのスタート そろそろSOUSHIが起きる時間だ
Interestingly the number one cause
何してるか見に行こうぜ
of fires in Japan is smoking
おはよー!昨晩はどうだった?
and the second, arson
朝起きてまず、消防士全員で消防署の清掃をするんだ
So what now?
SOUSHIは今日、トイレの担当
Yay, finally lunch time!
典型的な日本の会社では、清掃会社に頼まずに 社員が掃除をするんだ
It looks like he's having
これには、色んな理由があるんだけど
yourinji fried chicken, fried rice, chicken soup, and yogurt
チームワーク構築と物に対する敬意を 育成するってのがオラが好き理由だな
Soushi, do you always buy lunch at the konbini?
消防車は毎日掃除するのか?
He used to be able to have lunch with his colleagues,
美味そうだな〜 今朝の朝メシはうどんみてぇだ!
but because of COVID,
24時間のシフトももうすぐ終わる
everyone needs to sit apart from each other during meals
SOUSHIの顔も、少しだけリラックスしてるように見える
After lunch,
大交替の前に、次の部に何を伝えるかを チームと簡単な打ち合わせするぞ
he has a meeting to go over the afternoon tasks
よっしゃこれで終わり! SOUSHIは今シフトの引き継ぎをしてるところだ
and discuss other important matters
これが日本の消防士の1日
Oh, that's the head of the fire station
みんなはどう思った?
It's typical in a traditional Japanese office
楽しんでもらえたらいいねボタンで教えてくれ
for the most senior person to sit at the head of the office like this
チャンネルサポートはグッズ購入でお願いな!
With their desk slightly separated from the main island of desks
オラの日常はインスタでチェックしてくれ
Nice, time to take a ride
密着シリーズはまだまだ続くぞ! チャンネル登録して見逃さないようにな
Soushi is an official driver
またな
for one of the two types of fire trucks at the station,
the Sosuisha fire truck
There are several types in Japan even larger,
but because many roads in Tokyo are narrow
these trucks are sized to maneuver safely and quickly
through Tokyo streets
The Sosuisha truck usually arrives second on the scene
parking next to the fire hydrant
and pumping water to the Sankosa truck arriving first
and parked closest to the fire
What are you doing right now?
In Japanese it's called 'suiri chosa'
The firefighters inspect fire hydrants in the area
2-3 times a month to ensure it's working properly
Also, the manhole covers sometimes get stuck
due to constant car and people traffic
So the inspection confirms that
it's easily accessible during an emergency
Is this one working okay?
Oh they're back now
Soushi, what are you doing now?
Firefighters must also be well-versed
in life-saving techniques during an emergency
Today Soushi and his teammates
are drilling CPR and AED procedures
It really seems like Japanese firefighters
don't waste a minute of their day
Why are you using that phone?
They even have an official YouTube channel
with useful videos for first aid and fire prevention
Oh he's working out now
During quieter times of the day firefighters can use the time
to rest or work on strength and conditioning
Despite all the activities today
Soushi and his teammates still have enough energy to train
Amazing!
So what now?
So what's on today's menu?
In a Japanese fire station,
dinner and breakfast is usually prepared by the team
So everyone can share the same meal together
Family style!
And considering that the team live and work
24-hour shifts so closely together,
it's not a stretch for them to see each other
more than just a team, but like an actual family
After dinner Soushi and the other firefighters
perform another fire truck inspection
focusing on all of the lights as it's easier to do this in the evening
The fire department generally rotates
between three groups for the 24 hour shifts
Each group has about 12 members
firefighters and paramedics included
Depending on the size of the incident,
the entire group may be called to the scene
Afterwards all the firefighters
get together for another meeting
What are you doing now?
Although Soushi is on-call during the entire shift
between now and when he takes his rest at night
he has several hours of downtime
In addition to studying,
he also does regular chores
like washing and hanging laundry
Does everyone do laundry here?
Soushi also makes use of his time
by asking more seasoned teammates
about specific firefighting and life-saving techniques
It's all part of the Senpai Kohai relationship in Japan
The evenings really allow Soushi
to take in all the things he learned throughout the day
As well as focus and hone specific firefighting skills
So what was it like to become a firefighter?
Soushi takes a quick shower
just before he takes his rest at night
Well the day isn't done yet,
but hopefully he can get a few hours of rest
Good morning y'all!
It's another early morning, but Soushi should be waking up soon
Let's go check on him now
Good morning! How was last night?
First thing in the morning
all the firefighters clean the fire station
and it's Soushi's responsibility
to clean the bathroom today
In Japan, it's also common
for traditional Japanese companies to have their employees clean the office
instead of hiring an outside cleaning service
There are many reasons for this,
but building team cooperation and encouraging employees
to respect the workplace are some of my favorites
Do you clean the truck every day?
Nice, the breakfast this morning is udon
Soushi's 24 hour shift is almost over
and he seems a little bit more relaxed
Right before the daikotai
he has a meeting with the team
to review what information they need to share with the next shift
All right, so that's it
Soushi is switching shifts right now
and that is a day in the life of a Japanese firefighter
