A fire brigate getting together in front of the fire tower

Police firefighters gathered at Kajibashi in front of the fire watch tower. It was the duty of the police headquarters fire department to fight fires.

All the people, some of them on the watchtower and the roof, can be made out. Because of the nature of their job, these firefighters could pose anywhere.
