Taking like one and a half minutes to respond is called "professionalism"? I highly doubt it , In Ireland (where I live) the average time they take to leave the station is like 50 seconds. These guys in Japan are literally wasting precious minutes.
I was referring to the way they treat others. Let's not assume the nature of the call, I highly doubt there will be the same urgency for a building fire vs a sprained ankle. I've seen plenty other instances where they're out under a minute. Japanese ambulances are free and people call them for everything, and protocol dictates there must be somebody on the scene regardless of urgency within a certain time.
Protocol. If someone rings them for help, regardless of nature, they must respond with lights and sirens. Quite a number of Asian countries have this law. That's why they have volume control on these sirens (less common on fire engines in Japan, but fitted on all ambulances), so even at 3AM with little traffic, they will be going lights and sirens with the volume turned down the whole way through.
It’s actually more than just a fire station. Totsuya Fire Station is also home to Tokyo’s Fire Museum. But they’ve got a good set of trucks today. I was just there a few days ago too.
that video and those sirens are *tear* beautiful Also shows a contrasting response where they REALLY move (structure fire given the aerial, both pumpers, and seldom-used turnouts)
these tiny trucks are tough little effers. Gotta be when you're the largest and busiest fire department in the world. It also drives down cost (very important for Tokyo) and ensures that a combined rescue/pumper isn't burned out doing the roles of two apparatus when just a basic pumper like the one shown here with the essentials will do fine for most calls
Dude if you bring the one in US that will not work cuz the roads are too narrow in japan

+mlps93 Oh okay , Thanks for the info , I did not know that. Ok let's say it wasn't an urgent call , why the lights and sirens though?

Japanese manufacturers make sirens and rotating lamps. I will post the company name on the "patrite" website.th-cam.com/video/CAJzuLYmrDs/w-d-xo.html
No. This siren amp is made by a company called Osaka siren(大阪サイレン).

Geiles Horn!
Does anyone know why they are talking over the PA while responding?
they are telling the drivers the direction they are going. like"turning right, going straight" in the video
It says that in the vid description
1990 fire engine?
Good
오라이! Orai!
Here is a link to another view of the station, this time with 3 vehicles (including the ladder):

Any one for tennis !!!
When comparing to American or European fire apparatus, this engine looks like a toy :)
