“Synergy” means that when different elements unite, they create a powerful force greater than what each could achieve alone.
1. “Synergy of Safety” through Firefighting Cooperation among Asian Countries
Disasters are challenges that transcend national borders, and overcoming them is essential through sharing knowledge, technology, and experience while building cooperative frameworks. IFCAA serves as a platform for Asian firefighting organizations to deepen collaboration, foster technological innovation, and promote information sharing, thereby contributing to building a disaster-resilient future.
This initiative creates a network strengthened by solidarity and cooperation to protect lives and property, generating tangible outcomes that minimize disaster risks.
2. “Synergy of Culture” through Cooperation between IFCAA and the Asian & Asian Para Games
By joining forces with the Asian and Asian Para Games, IFCAA brings together the seemingly distinct worlds of firefighting and sports, delivering a message of diversity and harmony. Just as sports have the power to unite people, firefighting is also strengthened through solidarity and cooperation.
Furthermore, this collaboration provides an excellent opportunity to showcase the culture and traditions of Japan, the host country, to nations across Asia. Japan’s unique disaster-preparedness knowledge and practices not only serve as a valuable reference for other Asian countries but also represent cultural assets that foster international understanding and cooperation.
The circular vermilion design in a traditional Japanese pattern symbolizes Japan’s heritage, harmony, and the rising sun. The color vermilion evokes Japanese fire engines and echoes the “Misono-za Red” of the main venue, highlighting the significance of the event being hosted in Japan. While showcasing Japan’s traditional beauty, this design embodies the aspiration for further advancements in firefighting through the synergy of “safety” and “culture.”
