On the afternoon of the 3rd, there was a fire in Chinatown in Yokohama City at a restaurant in a four-story apartment building. No one was injured, but the site was temporarily noisy amid the crowd of tourists.
Shortly after 3 p.m. on the 1rd, a passerby called the fire department in Yamashita-cho, Naka-ku, Yokohama City, saying that "black smoke could be seen from the roof of an apartment building."
The scene was a kitchen on the fourth floor of a four-story apartment building with a Chinese restaurant, and more than 4 fire trucks and other vehicles went out, and the fire was almost extinguished after about 4 minutes.
The fire burned the ventilation fan of the Chinese restaurant, but no one was injured.
According to the police, it seems that the fire spread from the cooking pot to the ventilation fan, and the police are investigating the situation in detail.
At that time, Chinatown was crowded with many tourists and there was a commotion for a while.
A woman in her 30s who was visiting Chinatown with her family said she noticed the fire when she went outside the store after lunch, saying, "I smelled a mixture of black smoke and oil, and I covered my mouth with a mask. I was scared."
