A large collection of working vehicles! [Harumi Port Fire Department] (for kids)

Hey, Doctor. You walked around Harumi (Harumi) today.

The weather is nice today, and it's perfect for a walk.

The people at the fire department are training. What's this ship?

This is "Miyakodori". The length is about 43 meters. You can see six red water guns (hosuiho). From here, we can discharge 60,000 liters of water per minute.

I've seen a water discharge show when I was little. I wonder if it was the "water firefighting pageant" of Minato matsuri, Tokyo.

There are 14 emergency beds in the ship so that this fire boat can respond to a major disaster.

Hey, amazing, "Miyakodori"!

Ph.D. What's this ship?

This is "Oh," The length is about 38 meters. The engine has a total of 4,000 horsepower.

It's a great horse. Maybe it's a tugboat?

I know it well. "Oedo" is a "chikaramochi tugboat" that can pull a large 70,000-ton class ship or change the direction of the ship.

It's very fast! You can arrive at the scene in no time.

Hello, this is the new correspondent "Take-chan". Following the previous [Tsukiji Edition], I wrote it for kids. The COVID-19 pandemic continues, but the "Rinko Fire Station" near Harumi Wharf keeps close and slowly appreciates fire boats (?) You can do it. It's a great walking course for kids who like ships.
