英語訳
Whether the firefighting personnel have all assembled should be examined.
Note: The order of the attendant procession will be instructed by the attendant inspectors, so understand this.
1. When an official letter arrives and departure on horseback occurs, a wooden bell will be struck, so understand this. Following the inspectors' instructions, advance firefighters will gradually ride out from within the gates. Regarding spears carried by walking attendants, these should be gathered in front of the small entrance, and they should proceed gradually according to the spear-bearer supervisor's instructions.
1. When mounted personnel dismount from their horses, retainers carrying spears should place them near the horses. Instruct in advance that they should not carelessly wander elsewhere. Regarding all attendant spears, also instruct that they should remain where the spear-bearer supervisor directs.
Note: When urgency arises en route, the horse guards will strike wooden clappers, so everyone should hurry accordingly.
1. When defending at the site, quickly move personnel to designated positions for defense.
Note: When withdrawing personnel, wooden clappers will be struck.
1. Since firefighting duties may be ordered again by command, at such times go out without delay and extinguish fires according to instructions - instruct this in advance.
All should understand the above points and firmly instruct their subordinates. That is all.

Record of Kyōhō 1, Year of the Rooster (1716), May 2nd
1. Genbun 4, Year of the Sheep (1739), December 25th: Ogasawara Nizaemon, caretaker of Lord Matsudaira Daizen-dayū, was summoned to Lord Honda Nakatsukasa-dayū and received oral instructions through retainer Satō Yoichibei:
△ Regarding Tōeisan temple grounds, if fires break out or fires occur near the temple, henceforth town firefighters will be ordered to enter the temple grounds, so instruct retainers not to raise objections. Naturally, during fire guard duty rotations, this should be communicated step by step.
▲ 1. When fires occur at sites and personnel proceed there, instruct them not to climb carelessly onto tile roofs. Naturally, when preventing nearby fires, this is a special matter. Since this point should be communicated to each group, instruct in advance from group supervisors down to all retainers and subordinates. That is all.
