現代語訳

一、享保十二年未年十月五日、先月二十五日の御飛脚が到着し、御用状に申し来たのは、今度浅草御蔵火の御番を仰せ出されるにつき、御出馬の節、御先へ熊の投鞘、対の御道具を御持ちし、大鳥毛御槍は御馬の先に御持ちし、御傘を御持ちし、御挟箱草履を取り、跡に三つを御持ちし、御召替御馬一疋を御牽きする筈である旨、この段仰せ出された由。また御徒目付一番手二番手役掛りの御徒の者ども、先手御人数火消、上野御火消の節、立附を履いて相勤めたが、今度相止め、探源寺様御代の通り股引着用する筈に相極まる。御場へ不時御用に御徒目付、水廻り御徒、御道具支配御徒の者が罷り越す節は立附を履く筈。もしその節出火にて御人数駆け集まった場合は、その節はそのまま立附にて相勤めても差し支えない旨相極まった段申し来る。

一、同十六年亥年六月二十三日、御目付大岡右近殿より御留守居へ仰せ聞かされたのは、御家より御火消に指し出される御人数等の書付を差し出すよう仰せ聞かされ、御奉行御目付とも内談を致し書付を相認め御家老中へ相達し御前へも伺い、同二十四日御目付中まで差し出した由。右書付は火消帳の仕立とは違うが、先年公儀より仰せ出された人数御定もあるにつき、右定に相違ないよう引き繕い相伺った。総人数は火消帳の通りである。

英語訳

1. Kyōhō 12, Year of the Sheep (1727), October 5th: The express messenger from the 25th of last month arrived with an official letter stating that fire guard duty at Asakusa granary has been ordered. When departing on horseback, bear throwing scabbards and paired equipment at the front, carry the large feather spear in front of the horse, carry the umbrella, take the portable box and sandals, carry three items behind, and lead one spare horse. This has been ordered. Also, the foot soldier inspectors of the first and second units and their subordinates have been wearing tabi boots while serving as advance fire brigade personnel and Ueno fire brigade, but this is now discontinued. As in the time of Lord Tangenji, they shall wear leggings. When foot soldier inspectors, water patrol foot soldiers, and equipment supervisory foot soldiers go for emergency duties at the site, they shall wear tabi boots. If personnel rush to gather due to a fire outbreak at that time, they may continue serving in tabi boots without problem.

1. Same 16th year, Year of the Boar (1731), June 23rd: Inspector Ōoka Ukon informed the caretaker that a written list of personnel deployed for firefighting from our domain should be submitted. After consultation between magistrates and inspectors, the document was prepared and submitted to the senior councilors and reported to the lord. It was submitted to the inspectors on the 24th. Although this document differs from the firefighting register format, since there are personnel quotas previously ordered by the government, it was carefully prepared to comply with those regulations. The total personnel follows the firefighting register.

Matsudaira Hyōbu-dayū
1. Horse banner: black large feathers; one standard: as shown in the picture; one horse standard: same; one water standard: same; one black leather jacket with family crest and concentric circles (for musketeers and archers among foot soldiers)
1. Brown leather jacket with family crest and concentric circles (for lead musketeers and lead archers among foot soldiers); one cotton navy jacket with white stripes at the waist (for servants)

Record of personnel accompanying Matsudaira Hyōbu-dayū during fires:
1. Mounted: 19 riders with 253 attendants; 120 foot soldiers (for firefighting preparation); 300 servants (same)
1. Lanterns: 170 pieces (including household lanterns); 70 people (including attendant foot soldiers, horse guards, pages, and servants); 15 foot soldiers (for firefighting duties and assignments)
1. 182 people (including mounted retainers, foot soldier leaders, and their retainers) Total: 1,129 people

1. Same 18th year, Year of the Ox (1733), April 25th: Regarding the current fire guard duty, it was ordered that patrol foot soldiers and foot soldier inspectors should not wear tabi boots, and therefore no tabi boot allowance will be provided.

1. Kanpō 1, Year of the Rooster (1741), May [day unclear] record: When there was a fire near Tōeisan, town firefighters were ordered to enter the temple grounds, leading to various negotiations recorded in Edo.

1. Enkyō 4, Year of the Rabbit (1747), April: When ordered to serve Ueno fire duty, regarding horse banners, by special preference the large feathers were discontinued, and a gold chikiri (a type of ornament) eboshi-tataki of about 3 feet 5-6 inches became the banner. Also regarding horse banner lanterns, red lanterns of 3 feet 7 inches were made with attachments to be carried. Long spears were also approved to be carried when departing on horseback. Previously throwing scabbards were used, but this time special preference was ordered.

Note: Retainers should also understand not to go outside the gates during windy weather.

1. Regarding defense locations, follow the caretakers' instructions, with advance standards and advance fire brigade proceeding in order.

1. At the site, needless to say regarding government officials, but also when encountering other daimyo, move to one side of the road and do not behave presumptuously. Firmly instruct this to all subordinates.
When the Tokugawa branch families, senior councilors, or related lords pass by, mounted personnel need not dismount but may pass with respectful bows.

1. Picking up anything at fire sites is prohibited by government law, so instruct firmly that all ranks from high to low must carefully abstain from this.

1. When there are fires during windy weather and personnel assemble, gongs will be struck throughout the estate, so all attendants should quickly gather in front of the main entrance.
