Though for the Day                          TM Nariai

Today is on January 19, our first meeting in 2008.
And now, the examinees are taking the national center test for university.

It is very cold and dry, isn't it?
Do you know today is one of the fire commemoration days?
You know, November 9th is "The 119th day",
which is set by The Fire and Disaster Management Agency for the call for
an ambulance "119".
On the other hand, Japan Eire Equipment Sales Association fix on January
11th as "the Day of Home Fire Extinguisher Check".
So let's check the fire extinguisher when coming home.
