The word "fire fighting", a Japanese word, began to appear in the Edo period.

It was first seen in the 9th year of hublot (the 2nd year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty 1724), and it was recorded in the book Wang Ren Narration in Xincang County, Wuzhou that "when a fire broke out, the village's' fire fighting' arrived". The word "fire fighting" became popular in the early Meiji period (1873). But the root of "fire fighting" is in China.

Japanese characters evolved from China's Chinese characters and were introduced to Japan as early as the fifth year of Taikang in the Western Jin Dynasty (284). The word "fire fighting" not only has the same shape as Chinese characters, but also has no difference in meaning. The appearance of the word "fire fighting" fully reflected the close cultural exchanges between China and Japan at that time.

Fire and extinguishing is a very old proposition. Among all kinds of natural disasters, fire is a kind of disaster with high frequency, which is not limited by time and space. This disaster is accompanied by the history of human use of fire; In order to prevent and control fires, fire fighting (called "fire fighting administration" in ancient times) came into being.
