It ranks as the fourth deadliest nightclub fire and the ninth deadliest public assembly fire in the United States. The fire consumed the entire building within 3 minutes. Ninety-six people were killed immediately and hundreds were sent to area hospitals. Four subsequent hospital deaths occurred over the next few weeks. In 1992 we marked the 50th anniversary of the Cocoanut Grove nightclub fire in Boston. Four hundred ninety-two people died that day, making it the second deadliest public assembly fire in United States history. That fire spurred the first comprehensive descriptions of inhalation injury, and many other improvements in all aspects of bum treatment.1 The Station fire, like the Cocoanut Grove fire, can improve our medical care and planning by focusing attention on the disaster response needs of severely burned patients.

In enhancing fire-fighting ability at regional levels, it is important to improve the skills of fire service personnel employed in fire defense headquarters, etc., and deploy state-of-the-art materials and equipment. In addition, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency intends to continue its effort to improve the working environment so that fire service personnel may perform their duties safely and efficiently, and it will also endeavor to develop and improve the comprehensive fire-fighting ability in each region centering on permanent fire defense forces and Volunteer Fire Corps. 001 Over 1 million fire service personnel working on the fire fighting fronts in the country Permanent fire defense forces mean fire departments and branch stations operated under cities, towns, and villages, which employ dedicated personnel for fire services.

We will not stop making efforts until the world where we can prevent every calamity before it actually happens is realized. Industrial disasters can have a grave impact on neighboring residents' lives Action plan for industrial disaster prevention calling for unified efforts by the relevant authorities and industry Introduction of a large-capacity foam spraying system A large-capacity foam spray system is a firefighting system that can discharge an over 10,000 liters per minute. In comparison with the 3,000 liter per minute discharged from a large fire engine for elevated point fire fighting, its superiority in capacity is obvious. It may be more adequate to describe it as a capacity corresponding to any large fire engines for elevated point fire fighting to convey its image correctly. Presently, the introduction of a large-capacity foam spraying system is being considered to improve the ability to fight complex petroleum disasters because of the lesson learned in a petroleum tank accident in Hokkaido. Fire and Disaster Management Agency has undertaken this project by first revising the Petroleum Complex Disaster Prevention Act. Presently, the Agency is studying the most effective measures for utilizing a large-capacity foam spray system.
