Description
An unidentified Japanese fire fighter is holding a standard. A fire fighting company's standard, similar to a flag, is a very old tradition. The standard bearer would run and plant the standard at the point beyond which the firefighters would not let the fire spread. At the time, it was still in use. From Basil Rice.
