- from their firefighting activity performance point of view -

Abstract

Increasing the risk of Tokyo metropolitan earthquake, the power of the volunteer fire department is needed. However, it is concerned that securing the power of the volunteer firefighters by time zone is difficult because of decrease in the number of volunteer firefighter and increase in the number of volunteer firefighter for employee. And the rate of woman volunteer firefighter becomes very high in metropolitan volunteer fire corps. So their power will be very important in the great earthquake. In this study, we clarified the reality of "unstable power of the volunteer fire department by time zone" and "power of woman volunteer firefighter" by the questionnaire survey.
