Day in the Life of a Japanese Firefighter

This is a 24 hour day in the life of a Japanese Firefighter in Tokyo Japan. This would be a typical day for a Japan firefighter in Tokyo. To become a firefighter in Tokyo, applicants must pass an exhaustive fire department recruitment examination that is held only once a year which includes both a written and physical exam, culminating into a final interview. Each year there are only a limited number of positions so becoming a Japanese firefighter is highly competitive. Last year, only 1 out 14 applicants, about 7%, were able to pass the full firefighter exam. Soushi became a Tokyo firefighter 1 year after graduating high school and is in his 4th year as Tokyo Firefighter. In Japan, firefighters have 10 different ranks, badges have different numbers of stars and stripes. All firefighters like Soushi start with the first rank, 1 star and 1 stripe, and to earn a promotion to the next rank, 2 stars, the department will generally review a candidates performance, after around 4 years. So, he’s almost there. The next rank after 3 stars would be 2 strips and 1 star. In Japan, the Firefighters work a 24-hour shift and it officially commences at a large meeting called Daikotai in the morning. The previous day’s shift lines up on one side while the incoming shift lines up on another. You'll be be able to see the entire 24 hour day from morning until the next morning. This is a behind the scenes look into Japanese working day for a Tokyo Firefighter and into Japanese culture.

Bigger firetrucks, boats, a lot more gear to wear and a lot of the guys there were built like trucks. No disrespect to the japanese but I guess england just spends more money on public services.

    Any job in most Asian countries involves lining up and briefing about the shift. It's all highly functional and very efficient. Not like your typical American business who has everyone waddle in (see what I did there) do their work and leave. A single worker from one of these countries given the same job does 10X in one days worth than someone else would do in a week.

Each given equal importance with time properly managed and respected from employer and employee alike. I enjoyed the year I spent there and regularly go back for vacations. Tokyo is a great city where you can chill out and be as anonymous as you want to be. From people-watching to bungee jumping to streets packed with anime-costumed girls. It's got it all.

The hiring process in the US for professional fire departments is usually very competitive and it can take many years to be hired. Like the Japanese firefighters, a day on the job for US firefighters revolves around equipment inspection, training, physical fitness, station maintenance, and emergency responses. The Tokyo fire department appears to be a very polished operation and it would be awesome to visit a station one day.

    Paolo! This was one of my favorite "day in the life of" videos you've done yet!! I think this series is particularly fascinating as it shows Japan, as it is, on an intimate, realistic level. My boyfriend is a firefighter and has been for over 20 years so I will definitely be showing this to him. My boyfriend is also a nurse in the operating room here in Ontario. I am part of the environmental services team at the same hospital. I know both of us would enjoy a video on how a Japanese hospital runs. It would be fascinating from any perspective, but an overall view would be interesting. I would assume that Japanese hospitals are fairly strict so I'm not sure how easy it would be for you to get inside one, so this is merely an idea. Thanks Paulo and Miko (and Wolfie too!)

    Modern firefighting really isn’t that dangerous, at least in many countries the goal is not risk your life and to only do what you can do without becoming a victim yourself. Still dangerous to a certain extent, but that carries over to building, farming and so on. Of course the big deal is that sometimes you have to put yourself in situations were you are not in control unlike other jobs.

    @@bobsagetthelord6621 I mean, the goal IS to risk your life is it not? Going into someplace dangerous when your instincts is to run away. You can risk your life and still not be a victim but the end line is you still risk your life. Risking your life and being a victim are not linked at all. Yes, every job is dangerous. But a firefighter's job is more so because of the fact that if an incident happens and you are still alive, you run away whereas they charge headfirst into danger. I know you probably don't mean to, but belittling such a heroic job is kind of in bad taste. The bottom line is please respect their jobs as being heroic and dangerous. I could easily say "Oh being in the army isn't that hard and dangerous, since there's no wars these days." and with your logic it makes sense.

I’m a volunteer firefighter and often talk, train and work with professionals. Most want the job to be safe, they want to come home after every day, they want to be healthy at retirement. That’s why they have gear, the training and the physical expectations. To do everything as safely as possible and effectively. When somebody dies in the line nobody is clapping.
