We Went Through INTENSE Firefighter Training in JAPAN!

Today we're at the Tokyo Fire Department. Yay.

Department. Yay.

>> We'll experience the smoke maze room, practice first aid training, and learn safety through action.

>> So we can learn and prepare for any natural disaster or emergency that might happen to us in real life.

>> Let's go. Go.

>> In this room, we're going to practice using a fire extinguisher.

>> All right, let's go in. In order to make fire, we first need fuel. Second, we

definitely need oxygen from the air and lastly, we need heat. When these three conditions are met, fire can be created.

>> Need three things, right? To for the fire to happen. So, in this practice, we're going to try to eliminate one thing from that three. So, you can put up be a fire. So, each one of these

fires extinguisher has either that liquid based one or the powder based one. Either one of them can put up the

one. Either one of them can put up the fire.

>> Wait, do they both eliminate the same thing?

>> And the powder removes the oxygen. These

two removes a different thing, right?

>> Yeah. So, you can only use these fire extinguisher for only short period of time.

>> So, this one's only 14 seconds. Oh,

>> 14 seconds. And this one only 30 seconds.

>> Oh, that's it. Then you have to put up the fire within that short period of time. It's not a lot of time. Nice. All

time. It's not a lot of time. Nice. All

right. Now, it's unlocked.

>> When you remove the hose, don't let it go from your hand. Point it toward the fire. The first step is to pull the pin.

fire. The first step is to pull the pin.

The second is to hold the hose. And the

last is to grab the lever. Remember,

pin, hose, and lever.

>> You know where the heat travels >> up.

>> That's right. The heat travels up. So,

you want to stay down, right?

>> Let's move on.

>> Ready?

>> There's a fire. Shout fire and tell everyone Good job, guys.

At the object. That's right.

Yeah, >> we did it.

>> Yes.

>> Yay.

>> Usually takes a 10 second for people to start putting the uh water into the screen.

>> They took longer.

>> It took longer the first try, but you guys got better. The second time only took 5 seconds.

>> Check this out. Great job, everyone.

Let's move on.

>> Here we're going to train how to evacuate through smoke.

>> Okay. Okay. Oh, exit right here. Wait.

Oh, we can also exit this way. This way.

This way.

>> Ryan and Emma split up and uh they're going into the the smoke room without us. We're going to watch them through

us. We're going to watch them through the security camera.

>> Yeah, we see them, right?

>> Uh exit the door. Yeah.

>> This one. This one.

>> Oh, I can smell it.

>> Oh, fire.

>> Oh, yeah. Camera three. Oh, it's on fire. Now we're on the camera four.

fire. Now we're on the camera four.

>> Follow the signs right there.

>> They look follow the signs.

>> It goes fast.

>> I can see them.

>> Yeah, you see them. Oh. Oh, I see them.

Yeah. Yeah.

Follow.

Yep.

Do you see them? No.

>> Keep following. Oh, right there.

>> Oh, right here.

>> Ah, yay. You escaped.

>> There's so much smoke. Let's see them.

Which they go.

>> Oh, no. Okay, look. It's fire here.

>> There's a fire.

>> Yeah, they have to They have to follow the right signs.

Okay. You're going to stay low, right?

Stay low. Stay low. Okay. Good. Let's go

next. Oh, they have the exit sign.

>> Yes. Stay low.

>> Okay. Okay. Yeah. They know where to go.

>> Okay. Go this way.

>> Okay. Follow the Fold the >> way.

>> That's right. Okay.

>> Yep. They're following the signs.

>> They're moving into room three.

>> Oh, there's a fire.

>> Oh, no. Don't touch it. Might be hot.

>> Oh, the fire outside. Oh, we got even more smoke.

>> Oh, there. Oh, we can't really see them in there.

>> Stay low. Stay low.

>> This is over here.

>> Okay, another exit sign.

>> Wo, that's a lot of smoke.

>> Oh my gosh.

Which way are we going? Kate,

>> I I see the exit sign. It says this way.

>> Oh my gosh. Okay, got him out.

Okay.

Okay. Let's see. Whoa. I think we're almost there. Kate, hang in there.

almost there. Kate, hang in there.

>> I can hear them.

>> Oh, yeah. I can hear them, too.

>> Yeah.

Go. Okay. Go, go, go, go.

>> Oh, >> hi. Yay.

>> hi. Yay.

Woohoo! We survived.

Good job, Kate. You did so good.

>> Now, we're going to do rescue training.

Let's go inside from your favorite our >> That's exactly what just happened.

>> Yeah, that's so cool. That's so

realistic.

>> Yeah.

>> Hello.

>> Are you there?

>> Hi.

Do you hear him?

>> Yeah, I hear him.

>> He's somewhere inside.

>> So, he's cautious.

>> He's banging.

>> Yeah. Where do you think you heard the his voice from? Three options. From

number one, right here with all the roof roof tile still intact. Number two, this area in the middle where all the roof tiles gone. Or third was this area on

tiles gone. Or third was this area on the right where half the roof.

>> Second >> right here.

>> Second one.

>> Yes.

>> Oh.

He's right there.

>> It looks so >> It looks so real.

>> He looks so real. That scared me.

>> All right.

>> Oh no. But looks like he's still okay.

He's just trapped, right?

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> He lives here by himself, but he might have a guests or friends coming over, right?

>> So before he lose his conscious, you want to ask that question first. See if

he's with anybody, right? Are you with anybody? Is anybody inside besides you?

anybody? Is anybody inside besides you?

That's the first thing you want to ask.

The earthquake when it happens like major earthquake like this happens it comes in wave. So earthquake when it happens it happens multiple times maybe like after 30 minutes after 40 minutes

the second wave comes right. So you have to know you know you have to be very cautious cuz it happens again right so you got to you guys have to stay safe as well too.

Okay. I see him.

>> You see him?

>> Yeah.

>> You think you can pull him out on your own or you need help?

>> I think I can pull him.

>> You want to share the information, right? The situation of the other person

right? The situation of the other person you're rescuing. When you rescue on your

you're rescuing. When you rescue on your own, sometimes you get so focused on rescuing that person, you forget to check the safety for yourself.

>> You probably want to go down and help, but it's dangerous. So this is where we stop.

>> The earthquake happened in the office and this person is trapped under your shelf, right? Sometimes and a lot of

shelf, right? Sometimes and a lot of times you don't have anybody else around you to help you, right? It might be more efficient. You trying to solve this on

efficient. You trying to solve this on your own than trying to look for somebody to help you cuz he might not have time.

>> Mhm.

>> And you have a lot of different things in the office that could help you help you lifting this shelf. Think about what you can use with the things around you.

>> Okay.

>> I like that part cuz you guys need that critical thinking, right?

>> Easy. Okay.

>> So, first you got to lift this. But when

you try to lift this, there's a chance that you might accidentally drop him.

That might be the end of him, right?

>> So, that's why he was showing that maybe you can use these piles of books as a cushion. As you lift more and more, you

cushion. As you lift more and more, you can just stack more books.

>> Yeah.

>> And even if you accidentally drop it, this could become a cushion, right? So,

if you press the green button, it's going to create earthquake. And you can see the difference between if you have the secure the pole. See if it makes a difference.

>> Shaking a lot.

>> It's shaking a lot. Yeah.

>> It's going to get bigger and bigger.

>> It's exactly what it looks like.

>> It's only two just pulls, right? That's

securing the the shelf. It It prevents it from falling down during the earthquake. That's all it takes. Now

earthquake. That's all it takes. Now

we're going to do first aid training.

>> All right, let's go inside.

>> So, you have to make sure it's safe for you to jump in. First, you check the surroundings. Okay.

surroundings. Okay.

>> Are you there? Are you there? Can

somebody help me? This person is down.

>> Next, you ask for anybody to help. So,

you just say, "Hey, please, somebody help us.

>> Can you call 911? Can you bring me an AED?" When a person is unconscious and

AED?" When a person is unconscious and not breathing, you perform CPR if these two conditions are met. Place your hands below the throat where the collar bones

meet. Can you show me your hands? That's

meet. Can you show me your hands? That's

right. Use the lower part of the hand where you can apply the most power. Put

your second hand on top of the first and push down from your shoulders. Count 1 2 3 4 5. Press 100 to 120 times per

minute. This is the correct pace about

minute. This is the correct pace about 110 compressions per minute.

>> Thing you do, look at the surrounding, right? Check and see if anything any

right? Check and see if anything any dangerous thing is around us. No, we're

good. We're clear. All right. Check and

see if he's conscious. Are you okay?

Hey, can you help us? Somebody help us, please. Please call the ambulance. What

please. Please call the ambulance. What

are you asking for the next person?

>> Yeah. Can you bring in the ad? And next,

you check and see if he's breathing.

Boom. Good.

>> He's not breathing at that rhythm. Okay.

>> All right. You know what to do.

>> If I can keep going. This is 2 minutes.

Let's do it.

>> Hi. Okay.

>> Okay.

>> Let's open the AED. Do you know how to open it?

>> No.

>> There you go.

>> Okay.

>> Do you remember where the each pad goes?

You have to stay away, right? You cannot

touch the body and then press it.

>> Great job everyone.

>> That's it. In Japan, after you call for ambulance, it takes 10 minutes at least for them to arrive. And that 10 minutes are crucial, right? Sometimes, you know, you need to do something during that 10

minutes. That's why it's important you

minutes. That's why it's important you guys learn how to use AED or CPR until ambulance comes, you guys can probably do something to help that person. See

how a lot of work it was, right? It's

very difficult to do one person cuz you have to keep continue doing it. So once

you see somebody laying down unconscious, it's important you start looking for somebody to help you. If you

have somebody else next to you, then you can ask that person to rotate, right?

Take turn. Then you don't get tired as much, right? and you can do longer time.

much, right? and you can do longer time.

>> Thank you so much for having us today.

>> Great job with your lesson today, everyone. Here, Tokyo Fire Department

everyone. Here, Tokyo Fire Department helicopter card for you. Great job.

>> We should come here next time.

>> Yeah, we should come here again.

>> That was really fun. In Japan, there are places like this so we can learn through action for if something really happens.

So, let's keep learning, moving, and staying safe together.

Today we're here at the YT Fire Department.

>> Look how big the fire dragon is.

>> Wow.

>> Here we have Captain Kyoa. He's the

captain of Wiki station 7. He's going to give us a tour.

>> Hey everybody, welcome to Ryan's World.

Welcome to the Wiki Fire Station.

Station number seven. And I'm here to introduce you to our trucks. Over here

we have our ladder truck. They can go up to 100 ft long. I've seen those in the movies where the firefighters use the super big ladders. A

>> the backside. So inside we have our air packs when we go to fires. We have our medical equipment when we go to our medicals. If you notice we have headsets

medicals. If you notice we have headsets on the truck. Not only it allows us to communicate with our back driver in the back. With the truck on, you'll notice

back. With the truck on, you'll notice it's very noisy. So this protects our hearing.

>> Now we're going to go check out beside the driver's seat. Oh,

look at how many buttons there are. And

this wheel is massive.

>> Also notice we need two drivers for this truck.

>> Is it hard for the back driver to do it?

Is does he look forward or >> the driver looks forward? If you want to take a look and sit in the seat, you can and see how hard it is to see.

>> I can drive.

>> You can drive. Yeah. So, we use the headsets to communicate to the driver in the front because this guy is all alone by himself. He needs to be able to

by himself. He needs to be able to communicate with the guy in front driving so he knows which way to turn.

>> What do you think?

>> Pretty cool.

>> I'm a firefighter.

>> Are you scared of height? This really

does go really up high.

>> Oh, yeah, it does.

>> Oh, we'll show you how high the ladder can go.

>> Oh my god, it's massive. So, how high does this go?

>> So, our ladder truck can go up to 100 ft. So to put it in perspective, 100 ft

ft. So to put it in perspective, 100 ft is about like a tenth more if you're on a hotel or Iris.

>> Now I can be a firefighter at the top of this. That's going to be so scary.

this. That's going to be so scary.

>> Let's go.

>> All right, let's see in action.

>> Oh my gosh. Look all the way up.

>> Oh, there's somebody climbing up on this.

>> So, not only do people climb up on this, but they'll climb up with all their equipment. Oh my god,

equipment. Oh my god, it's so high. If you look at the center of this ladder, it's a pipe. And at the base of this ladder is where we hook up our water holes. And we can shoot at the

very tip of the ladder.

>> Oh yeah.

>> Oh wow. 100 ft up.

>> My god.

>> He's not even looking down.

>> If you notice when he was going up, he had a belt. He's going to lock in for safety. That way if he slips or anything

safety. That way if he slips or anything happens, he'll catch him and he won't fall off the ladder. Oh, the firefire is so high.

>> Oh my gosh, >> we're not scared of heights at all.

>> As you get further away from the pit, the slightest move is so I could bounce the ladder.

>> Being in Hawaii, we have a unique situation in that we not only do fires, but we do brush fires, mountain rescues, ocean rescues, as well as medicals. You

notice on both our trucks we have surfboards mounting because we're so close to the shoreline. Apart from the lifeguards, we're one of the first ones out in the waters if somebody is in distress.

>> That means firefighters can swim and surf.

>> Exactly. It's part of our training.

>> Oh, that's cool. I would love to train to surf.

It's a pumper. It holds 750 gallons of water. You may think that's a lot, but

water. You may think that's a lot, but when you shoot it out of the holes, it lasts roughly 2 minutes without another water source or a fire hydrant. So,

that's why it's essential that when we get to the scene, we're hooking up to the nearest fire hydrant that we see first so it can replace the water once it comes out of our tank.

>> How come these fire trucks are yellow instead of red?

>> We chose yellow as our color for our trucks for safety. If you notice at night, what do you think is more visible, yellow or red?

>> Probably yellow.

>> Very good.

So you can take a look inside. Roughly

the same layout.

>> So how does it feel being in the fire truck?

>> Okay. Do you hear me?

>> Good. The quality. Do you guys hear each other pretty well? Yeah,

>> I can hear you.

>> Do you hear me?

Some of the tools you'll see on each cup allows us to be self-sufficient when we go to fires because when you go to a house fire, the electricity will be out.

So, we need generators to power our own electrical equipment, the gas to go with it. We're going to need lighting when we

it. We're going to need lighting when we go to a fire, especially if it's at night. Of course, fans get the smoke

night. Of course, fans get the smoke out. Also, we have our spare oops

out. Also, we have our spare oops bottles. This is the bottle. We change

bottles. This is the bottle. We change

out the air and they go back in. Wow. It

lasts roughly about 60 minutes >> in this cabinet right here in a hose bundles that we can actually put on our shoulder and go in the buildings. You

want to try?

>> All right, here we go. Is that heavy?

You want to carry it around for the rest of the day?

>> No, I don't think so. Uh, all right.

Here we go.

>> Hold on tight.

You okay? Oh, look at that. You guys are strong.

>> So, this is what we call a tick. A

thermal imaging camera.

and it picks up the heat signature of people and anything that's hot like fires, tools of a firefighter, the axe and the halligan. If a door is locked, >> we don't have the key and we need to

open it, we use the axe.

>> I see. All right. See what else?

>> We have a lot of portable ladders. We

have like roof ladders with the little hooks on the end. We can hook it onto the roof.

>> We have our extension ladders and then we just have right here fixed ladders like this 16 footer. But if we need to go any place higher, then we're going to call the ladder shop. This is our medical equipment engine.

>> Our extra fire hoses.

>> Take a look and see.

>> So they carry that up and down on the highrise.

>> Again, a couple more different size hoses. This is our inch line right here

hoses. This is our inch line right here for the really small fires. And then we have our supply line, our line right here.

>> Oh, even more.

>> So this is how we hook up to the fire heighten. And this supplies our tank

heighten. And this supplies our tank water once we run out. And then our pump panel. This controls

panel. This controls how much water is going out and how much lines we can we can put out. So if you want, you can try and shoot some water right now. So you're going to shoot our

right now. So you're going to shoot our smallest holes and our second biggest holes. And you tell me which is smarter

holes. And you tell me which is smarter to hold and shoot water.

>> Oh, that must be a target.

>> Let's see if you can hit it with this.

What kind is the fire? This

>> what we call a street for the nozzle bell. Can I want to back up a little

bell. Can I want to back up a little bit?

Okay.

>> Oh my god.

>> Destroy the >> So, how do you become a firefighter?

like how do you do the whole process and all the training?

>> So for us, you need to apply through the student county first. Once you get accepted, you go through an 8-month training within our fire department and if you graduate, then you get stationed wherever they put you.

>> So even after you complete your training, you still have to train now.

>> Our skills are perishable in that we need to constantly train and upkeep our skills and we do it annually as well as daily at the station. Can we look inside the station?

>> Sure. Come on in.

So, for us, the fire station is a 24-hour ship. We start at 8:00 in the

24-hour ship. We start at 8:00 in the morning. We get off 8 the next morning,

morning. We get off 8 the next morning, which means we live here for 24 hours.

>> 24 hours, >> which means we sleep at the station.

>> Oh, this is where they sleep. So, we

have our breakfast, our lunch, our dinner here. We take a bath and we sleep

dinner here. We take a bath and we sleep here. We're very family oriented, but we

here. We're very family oriented, but we share everything over here. So, just

like at home, you need to take care of the station as far as cleaning duties go. Everything from cleaning the toilet,

go. Everything from cleaning the toilet, cleaning the shower, making your bed.

So, for us, we're going into the most important room of the station, the kitchen.

>> Oh, okay.

>> Kitchen.

>> Cooking is a welcome skill. Everybody

has to cook. The cook of the day usually prepares a hot lunch. It's part of that um lifestyle of a firefighter. When

you're eating and like if siren goes off, you like come back and eat again.

>> Yes, we do. We'll put a napkin over our food. We'll run into the truck and we'll

food. We'll run into the truck and we'll respond to our alarm. It's like, "Okay, drop all the food. Then you got to go."

>> Over here we have our workout room. So

to be a firefighter, you need to be physically fit just because of the job itself. It's very strenuous on your

itself. It's very strenuous on your body. You work out in the morning and in

body. You work out in the morning and in the afternoon. In the afternoon, it goes

the afternoon. In the afternoon, it goes from running, weight training to even volleyball, team sports. It helps

promote team bonding and participation.

>> Wow. Every huh is a training, Ryan. Even

after you become a firefighter.

>> Yeah.

>> Just like at home, you would have your closet and your dresser. Inside our

lockers, we keep all our equipment in use.

And just like people's bedrooms, it can be sometimes messy or neat.

>> And this is neat.

>> Yeah, >> it's messy.

>> Never mind.

basically firefighting gears are boots but pants jacket.

>> So Ryan, you want to try it on?

>> That's the boot so big for Ryan's foot.

>> For us firefighting, the time is on the essay so we can foil up really fast from here.

>> Draw our jacket.

>> And how fast will it take to put all of it?

>> You need to do it in 1 minute. Put all

of this on. One minute with also the tank in the back too.

>> Tank mask on, gloves on.

>> Oh yeah, that's difficult. Yeah,

this is heavy. It's

>> heavy.

>> Oh yeah, you look a true firefighter.

>> Guys, I just got a call. Looks like

someone needs my help. Let's go.

>> You guys so much for helping us.

>> Thank you.

anytime.

>> Now I know much more about firefighting.

>> Bye-bye.
