2766


The emergency number is different in countries, I think. For example, the emergency call number in the United States is 911, in Japan it's 119 (for medical and fire).

These days, needless call for emergency number is becoming social problem in Japan. For example, they call it like a taxi. I heard that more than 50% of emergency call were in less urgent situation. I don't think, it's good. I hope these needless call for emergency number would decrease.

BTW, it's really hot these days. Last week, the day which the highest temperature was more than 35 degrees (Celsius) continued 4 days. It's the record-equaling.

Because of these crazy weather, many people suffered heat exhaustion.
So, today's title.

2766 ambulances sent out in a day. It's the new record in one day, ever.
This is the number only in Tokyo. This is record made on 24th July, and the highest temperature on 24th July was 35.8 degrees (Celsius). 178 of 2766 were diagnosed heat exhaustion. Also most of them were suffered disease because of this crazy weather.

We should take care...
