Nationwide Fire Prevention Campaign Scheduled for Autumn 2025
Tokyo, Japan – September 5, 2025 – The Fire and Disaster Management Agency (FDMA) of Japan has announced the official launch of the Autumn Nationwide Fire Prevention Campaign for 2025. The campaign, designated as “Shobo Yo Dai 367, Regarding the Implementation of the Autumn Nationwide Fire Prevention Campaign 2025 (Notification from the Director-General of the Fire and Disaster Management Agency),” will commence on September 5, 2025.
This annual initiative aims to raise public awareness and promote proactive measures to prevent fires, particularly during a season when fire risks can be elevated due to changing weather conditions and increased indoor activities. The notification, issued by the Director-General of the FDMA, serves as a directive to relevant authorities and organizations across the nation to actively participate and implement the campaign’s objectives.
While specific details regarding the exact activities and themes of the 2025 campaign will be disseminated through local fire departments and related bodies, past campaigns have typically focused on a range of crucial fire safety topics. These often include:
- Home Fire Prevention: Emphasizing the importance of regular checks of electrical appliances, cooking equipment, and heating systems. Guidance on safe use of candles and matches, as well as ensuring smoke detectors and fire extinguishers are in good working order, are usually prominent.
- Workplace Safety: Encouraging businesses and industrial sites to review their fire safety protocols, conduct evacuation drills, and ensure all fire suppression systems are maintained.
- Outdoor Fire Risks: Highlighting the dangers of bonfires, the proper disposal of cigarettes, and the importance of firebreaks, especially in areas prone to wildfires.
- Vulnerable Populations: Focusing on the specific fire safety needs of elderly individuals, children, and those with disabilities, often through community outreach programs and tailored advice.
- Emergency Preparedness: Educating the public on what actions to take in the event of a fire, including how to evacuate safely and when and how to contact emergency services.
The FDMA’s notification underscores the collaborative effort required from all sectors of society to ensure a safe and fire-free autumn. Local governments, fire departments, community associations, schools, and businesses are all expected to play a vital role in disseminating fire prevention messages and organizing educational events.
The Autumn Nationwide Fire Prevention Campaign is a critical component of Japan’s ongoing commitment to public safety and the protection of lives and property. The FDMA encourages all residents to pay close attention to fire safety guidelines and actively participate in local campaign activities to contribute to a safer environment for everyone. Further information regarding specific regional events and detailed safety tips will be made available by local authorities in the coming weeks.
