Default Thousands flee after Japan's biggest wildfire in decades
Japan is battling its largest wildfire in over 30 years, with thousands evacuated as the blaze continues to spread. Around 2,000 people fled their homes in northern Japan’s Ofunato, while more than 1,200 took shelter elsewhere.

Officials say the fire, which began four days ago, has already burned over 1,800 hectares. Military helicopters have been deployed to combat the flames, but thick smoke continues to rise.



At least one person has died, over 80 buildings have been damaged, and nearly 1,700 firefighters from across the country are working to contain the disaster.

Wildfires in Japan have declined since their peak in the 1970s, but they still occur frequently, particularly from February to April when dry conditions and strong winds increase the risk. In 2023 alone, Japan recorded around 1,300 wildfires.
