Default Thousands flee after Japan's biggest wildfire in decades

Japan is grappling with its largest wildfire in three decades, which continues to rage uncontrolled in the northern city of Ofunato, forcing the evacuation of thousands and leaving at least one person dead.

Mass Evacuations as Fire Spreads
Local officials report that around 2,000 residents have fled to stay with friends or relatives, while over 1,200 have sought refuge in emergency shelters.

A disaster management agency spokesperson confirmed that this is Japan’s worst wildfire since 1992, when a massive blaze swept through Kushiro, Hokkaido. Some estimates suggest the fire has already scorched more than 1,800 hectares of land.

Firefighting Efforts Underway
Aerial footage broadcast by NHK shows thick white smoke billowing as military helicopters attempt to contain the inferno. Over 1,700 firefighters from across Japan have been mobilized, battling the flames for four consecutive days. So far, more than 80 buildings have been damaged.

Japan’s Wildfire Trends
Although the number of wildfires in Japan has declined since the 1970s, government data shows that in 2023 alone, there were approximately 1,300 wildfires nationwide. These incidents are most common between February and April, when dry air and strong winds create ideal conditions for fires to spread rapidly.

Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely, as efforts to control the devastating blaze remain ongoing.
