Items on the burning forest in northern Japan have been recorded from the air, showing the vast scale and damage of the fire. Up to now, the blaze has ravaged over 80 structures and prompted the evacuation of approximately 2,000 inhabitants in Ofunato, which is located in the Iwate region. To quench the fire, military helicopters have been utilized, according to the authorities.
