 Cultures around the world celebrate the new year in unique ways. In Japan, firefighters come together for the annual Dizome Parade. The event is celebrated across Japan with parades and displays of firefighting techniques that bring firefighters and their local communities together. What's significant of the Dizome is that it allows us to show our friendship with the city of Sasebo. We're able to go out there and show them our vehicles and our personnel and our support for when we have an emergency that happens in the city. As CFAS and Sasebo City firefighters kick off the new year, they'll continue working together to keep their residents safe. Petty Officer Nicholas Vickery for the Activities, Sasebo, Japan.
