An interview with stakeholders revealed that a Tokyo Fire Department official who was suspected of committing suicide died this month and was reported to have received power harassment by his boss. The Tokyo Fire Department is investigating the facts.

According to the Tokyo Fire Department, a 47-year-old male firefighter at the Ushigome Fire Station in Shinjuku Ward died earlier this month.

According to officials, it is thought that they committed suicide, and anonymous information that they had received power harassment from the chief of the Ushigome Fire Department, their boss, was subsequently sent to the Tokyo Fire Department.

The Tokyo Fire Department has announced that the chief will be relocated to the Human Resources Department on the 26th. The Tokyo Fire Department has stated that the reason for the transfer was "to rebuild the system of the station," and is investigating detailed facts such as whether there was any power harassment.
