“Daytime Ambulance Squad” specializing in daytime emergency operations begins operation in Kawasaki City. The number of emergency calls continues to increase as the city's population increases.
In the year before yesterday, the number of calls during the day from 8 a.m to 6 p.m. was 1.8 times that at night. Daytime emergency teams have already been introduced by the Tokyo Fire Department and other institutions, and the Kawasaki city Fire Department plans to increase the number by one more team next year.
