General Discussion Japanese Firefighters - Probation?

Hello! I myself am Not a Firefighter, but am Curious about it. Although I was born and raised in Canada, I'm curious about other countries Firefighting. So, my question is for Japanese Firefighters -

How long did your probation period last, if you had one? And when did you start getting to do more Serious Calls?

I think it’s a life time probation. Like every day you’re moving and acting like a probationary employee, even if you have 7 years on.

Do you know when they start doing serious calls?

“Start doing serious calls”? Do you think firefighting is like a video game where you unlock different calls the further you progress?

Serious calls? 😂 my first day out of the academy I had 2 cardiac arrests, 1 overdose and my first structure fire. 1st in engine, fought the red devil himself day 1. Total of 12 calls that day. Buddy there’s no serious calls. You’re in this shit day 1.
