A huge forest fire is raging through Ofunato in northeastern coastal Japan, burning thousands of acres of land, homes destroyed, and evacuees forced. Firefighters and emergency personnel are working around the clock to bring the fire under control.

Fire Spreads Over Thousands of Acres


According to the Fire and Disaster Management Agency, the fire broke out Wednesday and has since consumed nearly 5,190 acres (2,100 hectares) of forest. Strong winds and dry conditions fueled the fire, keeping it from being fire-controlled.

Homes Destroyed, Hundreds Evacuated


According to authorities, around 84 houses have been reported as destroyed and 1,200 people have fled for safety. In some areas, the flames have subsided, while in others, firefighters are still on guard.

Massive Response Efforts Underway


To tackle the crisis, more than 2000 assembled a team of firefighters and troops from across Japan. Words like helicopters, fire trucks, and specialized equipment help to contain the fire and limit damages.

Body Found After Road Search


A man was found dead on a road on Thursday. Authorities are checking to see whether his death was linked up with the fire by means of any cause.

Mild winter with record dryness contributed to fire


According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, Ofunato and northeastern Japan have experienced their driest winter since 1946. This extreme has made for far-quickward spread of the fire.
