Inagi City Junior Firefighting Club

What is the Junior Firefighting Club?

　The Junior Firefighting Club is composed mainly of children and students from Elementary and Junior High Schools in the city. It aims to acquire knowledge and skills related to fire prevention and disaster preparedness, as well as to nurture fire prevention and disaster preparedness leaders who will support the community in the next generation.

　The junior firefighting clubs in the city were established as follows: the Sakahama District Junior Firefighting Club in April 1982, and the Oshitachi District Junior Firefighting Club in December 1983. Subsequently, after reviewing the organizational structure, the ING Junior Firefighting Club was launched in May 2024 as the third district, creating a system that accepts club members from across the entire city.
