This work documents the sequence from a fire department base station’s phone response to the dispatch of fire engines to the scene.

It includes inserted footage that appears to be 3D graphics from some game, resulting in a composition with a striking sense of realism.

I’m recording a fire engine signal that’s quite shrill, intimidating, and likely to evoke a sense of alertness.

It’s a familiar sound, so there’s nothing novel about it, but the recording seems to have been made from very close range, giving it a powerful impact.

However, possibly due to the recording environment, there are parts where the audio appears somewhat distorted.

This piece turns the dispatch scene of a Showa-era fire engine into sound effects.

Compared to works that simply edit siren sounds, it more readily evokes the imagery from preparation to rollout, resulting in a style with stronger realism.

The audio quality is also high, so it feels natural even when listened to at high volume.

This is a rare video work that was filmed at the scene of an actual fire in Japan.

As it is a natural recording, it contains noise and conversation, but it can be considered a valuable piece of footage where you can see fire engines diligently engaged in firefighting while emitting blaring warning signals.

This is a video work that records fire trucks patrolling in preparation for major winter fires.

The distinctive kaan-kaan sound effect serves as a fire-safety warning that carries far into the distance.

Japan has historically paid special attention to fires, so there is a deep sense of sentiment in this.

We’re capturing footage of fire engines driving through the heart of New York City.

Multiple engines are moving together in a convoy, a rare scene you’d only see during a major incident.

Both the audio and video are clear enough for news use, so it’s definitely worth a watch.
