Forest fire in northeastern Japan

A helicopter carries water on March 7, 2025, to extinguish a forest fire that broke out on Feb. 26 on a mountain in Ofunato in Iwate Prefecture, northeastern Japan. Local authorities said an evacuation order for 957 people in part of the city was lifted the same day, as the risk of the fire spreading further has abated in some areas, though it remains in place for 3,639 people in other areas of the city.
