Abstract
In the past, a serious railroad accident had occurred in Japan. In that accident, it had taken a long time to rescue the confined passengers within the crushed trains, because of the danger of the ignition to combustible vapor of leaked gasoline. Through the repeated occurrence of such fire accidents, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency (FDMA) in Japan was strongly demanding the development of the rescue apparatus that could be used in the combustible vapor and deployed the water jet cutter system all over the rescue parties. Under these circumstances, the Water Jet Technology Society of Japan (WJTSJ) was received the consignment of the research supported by the science and technology promotion system for fire fighting and disaster prevention of FDMA in Japan. The WJTSJ has started up the fire fighting project team to research the water jet cutter system from various contents. On this project, seven research workings were organized and these researches and developments have achieved respectively. In this paper, the outlines of this project and short summery of these workings research and development are reported.
