Fire in Idemitsu Co. and large fire fighting cannon(monitor) was used

September 2003

Large fire-fighting Gun (monitor)

For fire fighting persons Large oil tank fire should be happened

in future in Japan because we expect large earthquake　 in the near future.

So we asked oil company to have more fire equipments like to large fire-fighting gun (monitor)

Training to use large fire-fighting gun is important for oil company We hope MDPC is one of the training

facilities for large fire fighting gun

Conclusion Daily Training is very important We, governments ask oil and oil

chemical companies to do training for their people against future coming earthquake or other disaster.

Local governments also have to send their fire-fighting people to such training facilities because we government do not have such facility.

Needs for training facilities is increasing in Japan
