Shurijo Castle Fire Third-party committee submits interim report Requests review of management system September 11, 16:45

A third-party committee of Okinawa Prefecture, which examines the verification of the fire that broke out at Shurijo Castle and measures to prevent recurrence, submitted an interim report to Governor Tamaki.


We are requesting the prefecture to review the management system, saying that the initial fire extinguishing was not possible due to lack of education and training of security guards assuming a fire at night.

Following the fire at Shuri Castle, where a major building was completely destroyed in October last year, Okinawa Prefecture was a third party consisting of five people, including a lawyer and a fire prevention expert, to verify the circumstances and consider measures to prevent recurrence. We have a committee.



On the 11th, Chairman Aharen Mitsuru visited the Okinawa Prefectural Government and submitted an interim report to Governor Tamaki.



In this, it is undeniable that the security cameras did not confirm the entry and exit of suspicious persons, and that electrical equipment may have caused the fire.



He also pointed out that when the security company reported to the fire department, he did not tell the specific details of the fire and that it was locked at multiple gates before entering the scene, which hindered fire fighting activities.



On top of that, there was a lack of education and training for security guards assuming a fire at night, and the division of roles and information sharing were insufficient, and the prefecture was requested to review the management system because the initial fire could not be extinguished. ..



Governor Tamaki said, "From a professional point of view, we take the content of objective and fair discussions and discussions seriously, and as an administrator of Shurijo Castle, we will continue to work hard on fire prevention measures and strengthen them. I want to work on building a management system. "
