Abstract
   A fire service function of “the Wakamono-Keiyaku” has only remained an original style of the rural community fire service so far. However, its process has not been completely proved yet. The main aim of this report is to clarify some processes of transferring “Wakamono-Keiyaku” to “Public Fire Service System”.
    “Ogizone Wakamono-Keiyaku” referred in this report has functioned as the rural community fire service for a long time and has been maintained after the rules of a fire service system in 27th year of the Meiji period.
   Five years after the Taisho period started, a new relationship between “Ogizone Wakamono-Keiyaku” and “Nakazone municipal village” about the expense of purchasing a pump was born. The movement was the first step to the publication of “Ogizone Wakamono-Keiyaku”.
