More than 2,900 firefighters took part in this year’s dezomeshiki or New Year’s Fire Review in the Japanese capital, held by the Tokyo Metropolitan Fire Department.

It featured firefighting drills, rescue and first aid demonstrations, and a parade of equipment. It also included performances, such as acrobatic stunts on traditional bamboo ladders used in the Edo era.
