Hey everyone!!
I'm writing this article on a plane from Tokyo to Saga, but I looked out the window wondering where we were, only to see nothing but clouds, and I had to give myself a little reality check, thinking, "You definitely won't be able to tell where we are just by looking outside!" This is Oda!
#Then I happened to glance at the monitor above my head and saw a map showing where we were flying, and I couldn't help but think, "Did the flight attendant read my mind and show me where I was wondering about?" and give them a little nod.
#The intro is way too long, lol
So, this time
I'd like to briefly review some of the presentations given at the Rescue Symposium.
First person: Mr. Hayakawa from the Tsukuba City Fire Department in Ibaraki Prefecture
"Door Opening and Educational Techniques"
He conducts door-opening drills for his subordinates using educational techniques.
That's what it was about.
The topic of educational techniques also came up in other presentations, but
the manual issued by the Fire and Disaster Management Agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in 2022
regarding the training of rescue personnel
was highly praised!
I completely agree with this,
and as soon as that manual was released, I printed out all the copies and read through them carefully at home!
#It's quite a thick manual
It contains really great content,
and I thought, "Wow, the government is amazing!"
Three years ago, I also
learned about "team building" from my high school soccer team captain,
became familiar with the term "psychological safety," and was spreading it to everyone when this manual came out,
so it made me feel that thanks to the government, the fire department isn't being left behind by the times!
I want not only rescue teams, but all firefighters to read this manual!
In fact, I want everyone except firefighters to read it!
I got off track.
To summarize, Mr. Hayakawa was incredibly passionate, and although he was about 40 meters away, he spoke with such intensity that it felt like he was speaking right in front of me.
Second person: Mr. Inoue from the Kurashiki Fire Department in Okayama Prefecture
Another person from Okayama Prefecture also gave a presentation about this person, and I was awestruck by the high level of expertise in Okayama Prefecture.
What I mean is,
"The quality of their training is extremely high."
That's what it means.
They considered various scenarios and recreated disaster scenes using all sorts of methods.
The quality was so high that it probably wasn't cheap,
and I thought that this is something that can be done if the entire fire department is working toward the same goal.
By the way, I was so impressed that I waited for him after the symposium ended and went to greet Mr. Inoue.
He was very handsome, had a cool aura, and felt like the kind of man that other men admire.
Thank you very much.
When I looked it up later, the "K" in KPSS was actually the "K" for Kurashiki!!
There really is something special about Okayama, and especially Kurashiki.
I decided that I would go there to cover it someday.
Next was a presentation by a Kurume firefighter,
and simply put,
"Projection mapping × training"
It was something like projecting it onto the actual training building to realistically recreate a fire scene!
This part is written a few days later ↓
The next day when I got back, I was talking with my subordinates on duty right away,
and we were talking about it like, "That story was really great!!"
#Everyone had watched it online
The conversation turned to Kurume,
and things got exciting,
and as a result
"Alright! Let's make a video for our own fire department training and create a realistic fire scene!"
That's what happened.
What I mean is,
・Build a very simple mock house with one open side using plywood
・Actually set it on fire and film the early stages of the fire
・Project that onto the wall at the fire department training site
・Blind training starts!
That's how it works.
This would have the following effects:
・Since the training progresses in real-time with the fire, you can understand that a faster response is necessary
・You can learn how far the flames grow before you need to escape
・If you use a smoke machine as well, it will be even more immersive and you can learn about the terror of fire
That's what I think the effects would be!
I immediately created a proposal and presented it to my section chief,
and he said, "Sounds good, you figure out the rest!"
So now my subordinates and I are working out the structure with sparkling eyes.
#A demon of action
#You wouldn't think this guy is quitting in 3 months
#I'm thinking of keeping the budget under 10,000 yen
#It can be used forever, so it's great value for money
#Using tax money wisely
Furthermore, as future prospects,
・Use it a lot in fire department training
・Give the video to businesses
・Share the video with other fire departments
・Provide the video nationwide
・Everyone nationwide can create a wide variety of them
・Our company will be the point of contact and make sharing easy
That's what I'm thinking!
As you can see, I love the fire department!
I'm always thinking about how to eliminate disasters and how to minimize the damage!
It will be very lonely to leave my current job in 3 months, but I want to give it my all until the end!!
Action!!!! Action!!!!!
Let's do it!!!!
Whoa!
It was Oda!!
