① JOIN US! Autumn Fire Prevention Campaign

Every local government follows the national fire prevention campaign guidelines of the Fire and Disaster Management Agency, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, and holds its own events during the Autumn Fire Prevention Campaign (Nov. 9 – Nov.15 since 1989). The first day (November 9) reads “119”―exactly the Fire Department phone number!

Fire stations welcome you into their own events during the campaign.
