Taoyuan firefighters save local Japanese while on holiday
Taoyuan firefighters save local Japanese while on holiday
2026-03-17
Two firefighters serving in Taoyuan put their professional skills to good use, even while off duty and on holiday in Japan. They were in Tokyo to watch the World Baseball Classic, when they encountered a local man collapsing while taking the metro. They did not hesitate to go over and check the man’s vital signs. One of them even spoke fluent Japanese.
This is Kanda Station in Tokyo, Japan, where a man is lying on the ground. Someone checks his breathing and pulse. You may think he’s a local Japanese medic, but instead, he’s a firefighter serving in Taoyuan.

A middle-aged man fell from the door. There was a loud thud when he fell on his face. I wondered where the loud noise came from, and saw someone had fallen onto the ground. Other Japanese people around seemed to be in shock, and so I went over to check his pulse.
Two firefighters in Taoyuan, Chang Yung-wei and Yang Yu-hsiu had taken five days off to travel to Japan for the World Baseball Classic. They saw the local Japanese man collapsing, and went over instinctively to save him.

They’ve always given their all on duty. They also assisted a member of the public while in Japan and given emergency care. I feel really honored knowing about their deed.

I thought that Japanese would be useful for watching anime and playing video games, and also useful when traveling in Japan, so I learned Japanese on my own in high school.
The firefighters are committed to saving others in emergencies, offering critical service even while on holiday abroad.

2026-03-17
桃園市兩名消防隊員，日前到日本看WBC球賽，剛好在車站目睹一名日本男子倒地，兩人二話不說上前確認脈博、呼吸，從高中就開始學日文的張詠惟，以日語和車站站員溝通，並順利交接給當地急救隊。
東京地鐵神田站，一名男子躺在地上，蹲在他身旁確認呼吸、脈博的，不是日本消防人員，而是桃園市消防局隊員。

“有一個大叔他就從門那邊這樣倒下來，然後碰很大一聲這樣，然後他是正面倒下來
那時候想說怎麼會有這麼大的聲音，然後一看就發現有人倒在地上，其他日本人就可能，都有比較就是受驚這樣子，我那時候我就是直接去確認他的那個脈博。”
桃園消防員張詠惟、楊昱修，先前請了五天假到日本看WBC球賽，目睹日本男子倒下，兩人二話不說，趕快幫忙急救。

“關於勤務上業務上都盡心盡力，他們在日本有協助一位民眾，去做急救處理處置，那我當下的話感覺滿與有榮焉的。”

“因為我覺得日文就是平常可能看動畫或打電動都用得到，我覺得還滿方便的，然後去日本玩的話也是都用得到，所以高中的時候就有自己學日文。”
消防隊員在國外面對突發狀況，立即給予協助，充分發揮專業，也展現助人精神。
