Japan's first fire service was founded in 1629 during the Edo period, and was called Hikeshi (Japanese: 火消し, lit. Fire eraser). During the Meiji Period, the Hikeshi was merged into the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in 1881. During this period, pumps were imported and domestically produced, and modern firefighting strategies were introduced. The fire service would remain part of the police department until police reforms in 1947, when the Tokyo Fire Department was separated from the police as an independent agency. The TFD was officially formed on 7 March 1948.
