00:00.629 --> 00:02.629
The air base fire department held a

00:02.629 --> 00:04.685
fire muster at the exchange . So the

00:04.685 --> 00:06.989
fire muster is a challenge of sorts .

00:07.000 --> 00:09.369
We do this to spread the message for

00:09.380 --> 00:11.324
fire prevention week . This year's

00:11.324 --> 00:13.658
theme is cooking safety starts with you .

00:13.658 --> 00:15.769
So the more we get people to come out

00:15.769 --> 00:17.658
to these events , the more we can

00:17.658 --> 00:19.880
spread that message , we have around 15

00:19.880 --> 00:21.824
teams lined up coming out today to

00:21.824 --> 00:23.713
participate as far as crowd , our

00:23.713 --> 00:25.769
Japanese counterparts . They love us

00:25.769 --> 00:27.880
out here , so they always want to see

00:27.880 --> 00:27.340
us . And then also we have our base

00:27.350 --> 00:29.239
residents that also love the fire

00:29.239 --> 00:31.461
department any time , throw something .

00:31.461 --> 00:33.572
It's always a good event because what

00:33.572 --> 00:35.794
we provide to the community , they give

00:35.794 --> 00:35.639
us back . Fire prevention week is

00:35.650 --> 00:37.872
designed for fire departments to spread

00:37.872 --> 00:40.094
that fire prevention message . The more

00:40.094 --> 00:42.150
we spread that message , the more we

00:42.150 --> 00:44.372
don't have to do our job . And I know I

00:44.372 --> 00:46.428
say that right . And it sounds bad ,

00:46.428 --> 00:48.594
but we do our job and essentially it's

00:48.594 --> 00:50.650
on the worst day of people's lives .

00:50.650 --> 00:52.817
And unfortunately , that's the reality

00:52.817 --> 00:55.150
of it . But the less we have to do that ,

00:55.150 --> 00:56.983
the more I think it's better for

00:56.983 --> 00:59.094
everyone . Staff Sergeant , Christine
