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?

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?

No thats not what I meant-

Then explain what you meant with that stupid sentence. You start going on serious calls as soon as they get called for one.

“I know you’re a firefighter now but you’re not allowed to go to a fire yet, we’ll just ease you into it by only letting you go to fire alarms”
