It is possible to reliably perform bidirectional communication with the control panel, that is, the receiver on the fire pump vehicle side. As a result, it is possible to directly control the fire pump with high reliability from the side of the water canister, and also to check the activity status of each fire pump vehicle that is securely controlled remotely from the site of the water canister. It is also possible to collect in real time and accurately grasp the information at the firefighting activity headquarters within the jurisdiction of the fire department or the fire department, which in turn makes it possible to carry out firefighting activities at the fire and firefighting site extremely effectively and efficiently.
