Meguro City in Tokyo takes disaster survival seriously! When you become a resident of Meguro City you are issued with the Disaster Survival Manual. The manual, using subtle semiotics, describes how to “handle” your fire extinguisher in the event of fire. The important point to learn is ‘Step 2′, that is, the best way to combat those raging flames is to make sure that you hold the fire extinguisher as if you were in the starring role of a porn movie.
So the question is, when fighting fires what matters most? The size of your hose or the way that you use it?

Nice that it’s in English and you don’t need to try to figure out kanji in an emergency.
very true kathryn. other than english, the “disaster survival manual” booklets actually come in another five languages – chinese, hangul, indonesian, thai and vietnamese.
Some handy pointers in the case of an emergency. Good to know how to handle your hose and just hope you point it in the right direction.

yes, and hold on tight because a high-pressure fire hose with a fog nozzle can sometimes be hard to control.
What do you do when your nozzle starts to burn..??
Either (a) consult your doctor for some penicillin or (b) stop masturbating until the friction burn heals.

haha! “When your nozzle starts to burn, there’s a lesson you must learn. Something something and you’ll see, you’ll avoid catastrophe. .. D’oh!”
When I was the volunteer emergency warden for Minato ku for the Canadian consular services, I’d drop by the ward office once in a blue moon to see if they had any new instructions for gaijin. They had this nasty map on the wall:

I see your d’oh and raise you one: “When your nozzle starts to burn, there’s a lesson you must learn, smother your hose and you will see, how to avoid injury to the third degree.”
