was there a big fire in japan recently?
 

Hi All... i want to ask if there was a big fire that broke out in japan just this week that consumed an entire market, destroying dozens of shops and homes. i was informed by someone that this is big story in japan but i searched all around the net and couldnt find any info on big fire in japan recently, as recent as yesterday or 2 days ago. couldnt be sure of the location since it wasn't specified, but it could be fukuoka, kitakyushu, street address: kamitomino.

so was there a fire or not? thank you!

i also posted this in another forum. my apology if that is inappropriate, i just need some definite answer asap.

Not that I've seen on the news, but I'm not a big news hound.

You triple-posted. Not cool.

This must be what you are talking about.

Nothing major. No one even got hurt. It was LOCAL news, not national.

never heard that

sorry about the triple postings. one post was unintentional. thank you for the confirmation! :)
