It seems that this is a state of fire extinguishing activity by water discharge at midnight.


I heard a sound like spooky ...... sounds like when I put firewood on fire. The photographer is photographing from far away not to disturb fire fighting activities, but still it sounds quite a sound ....


As fire extinguisher progresses gradually, the flame will disappear and sparks will fly. However, to the eerie figure that the entire mountain is covered with thin vermillion smoke.

As the extra edition, the state of water supply was also taken. As you can see from the map, because there is a pond nearby, I wonder if I could have made it back and forth quite often.


Looking at the video, it is a big fire that seems to be wonderful that there was no damage to the house or the person. It seems that there was a report saying "burnt-smelling" even in Osaka on the 24th, and the old people are saying "earthquake, thunder, fire, otji (typhoon)" and its horror.

In the article of the Asahi Newspaper, images from coverage helicopter are also posted.
