Also, the Eastern Outdoor Exhibition Area features exhibits by various businesses that have large equipment on display, joint fire extinguishing practice sessions with the Tokyo Fire Department and Emergency Fire Response Team, and a corner where children can enjoy learning about disaster prevention.

Highlights such as fire extinguishing practice demos, and outdoor exhibits where children can have fun learning
In the outdoor exhibit space, a comprehensive, joint fire extinguishing demonstrations will be carried out between the Tokyo Fire Department and the U.S. Navy Japan District Headquarters Fire Department. Also, there are many other programs in which children can also have fun, including the Fire Fighting Training Van for casual training regardless of the small space, driving mini cars, wearing mini firemen’s clothing, riding a pump truck and ladder truck, experiencing smoke similar to that which occurs in an actual fire (but is not harmful to humans) and learning about the dangers of smoke in addition to points to remember during an evacuation from a fire. Special zones: “Disaster Prevention and Natural Disaster Reduction Countermeasures ICT” and “Disaster
Storage”
Products and equipment from popular fields are all collected for display in the special zone for firefighting and disaster prevention. The “Disaster Prevention and Natural Disaster Reduction Countermeasures ICT” zone focuses on disaster experience systems that utilize ICT (information and communications technology) such as VR (Virtual Reality), which is expected to help in disaster prevention and natural disaster reduction efforts. The “Disaster Storage” zone features information on evacuation center products and services such as emergency rations, which must be replaced now that seven years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake.
