Fire in Japan 22nd Dec

[stellar]

Does anyone know anything about the fire in Japan that took place before xmas? It apparently engulfed some 140 buildings and no word on MSM then or since on what caused it. The only videos I have seen on youtube have no comments or only in Japanese.

There is this one with the comment and an article in english;

I googled for Fire in Japan 22nd Dec and discovered plenty of mainstream coverage, like abcnews, foxnews, presstv ir, rt.com, uk-reuters, bangkokpost, and so on.

According to foxnews the fire started in a restaurant and was whipped up and spread widely by strong winds.

They had to bring in the army to assist in the fire fighting according to the bangkokpost.
