"Get
a bronze medal"
The "2004
Self-Protection Fire Brigade Pump Operation Competition" organized
by the Fuji City Fire Prevention Association was held
on October 30 (Sunday) at the Fuji City Public Wholesale
Market and the power pump team from the Fuji Plant
participated in the pump vehicle operation competition,
where they came in a very respectable third. This is
the 32nd time the pump vehicle operation competition
has been held, and the Fuji Plant gained third place
for the first time since it started competing in 1973.
In the past, numerous senior fire brigade members trained
rigorously and participated in the competition but
they did not quite make it into a top-three position.
This time, the pump team headed by fire brigade members
roused themselves for an all-out effort this year and
not only did they practice after work - they also engaged
enthusiastically in training early in the morning before
work (7 AM) and during their lunch break looking forward
to the competition.

By no means did the power pump team only pursue technique
— rapid, alert, and precise operation is sought in
the case of an actual emergency occurring on the basis
of "Self-Protection of our Own Company." Through
participating in such a competition, improving technique
is also an effective means.
Did everyone know that the Fuji Plant is the only site
in the city of Fuji that legally requires a chemical
fire engine? The third placing gained this time not
only reflects the results of mere fire fighting activity.
It may also be said that through recognition from public
bodies and citizens of the neighboring community, a
major result not readily visible to the eye has also
be gained.
We would like to express our profound thanks to the
members of the power pump team that returned such positive
results to the Fuji Plant. |
