Amid the growing shortage of masks due to the spread of the new coronavirus, a firefighter in Shizuoka Prefecture has shown that a mask stockpiled at a fire department in Yaizu City has been exhibited on the Internet Flea Market app. We consult with and investigate the detailed situation of the damage.
According to the Shita Fire Headquarters of Fujie City, Shizuoka Prefecture and Yaizu City's wide-area business union, the stock of masks stockpiled at the fire department in Yaizu City was extremely low this month.
When the Fire Department headquarters examined, it was found that a male firefighter working for the Oigawa branch office had taken it out without notice and exhibited it at the flea market major "Mercari" on the Internet.
The Shita Fire Department headquarters has suspected that the stockpiled mask was resold at a high price and consulted with the police to investigate the full extent and circumstances of the damage.
Shita Fire Department does not disclose the amount and price of the masks exhibited and the explanation of the fire department.
