What to Do in an Emergency

Fire
•Preventing Fire
The following safety hints will help prevent a fire:

Before going to bed or leaving your house, make it a habit to confirm that all heaters and stoves are off.
Careless cigarette smoking causes many fires.  Be very careful if you smoke, and never smoke in bed.
Do not store combustible and flammable items where they are likely to be tampered with.
Make correct use of heating devices of any kind. 
Keep a fire extinguisher handy so that you can put out a fire in its early stages by yourself.

•In Case of Fire
Fire Department: Dial 119
*You don't need to insert coins to make an emergency call from a public telephone.  Just lift the receiver and push the emergency button.
If you discover a fire, shout "Kaji-da!"(Fire!)loudly to alert your neighbors.  Call the Fire Department by dialing 119, and calmly tell the operator where the fire occured, your name and phone number.  To call from a mobile phone or PHS, see the Ambulance Section above.
