Fire condolences - Kajimi Mai

...A fire is when a structure, forest, wilderness, transportation equipment, etc. burns due to unintentional causes, including arson, and spreads on its own, but it is called a fire because it affects things that are useful to humans. The Fire and Disaster Management Agency's White Paper on Fire and Disaster Management categorizes fires into building fires, forest fires, vehicle fires, ship fires, aircraft fires, and other fires (fires caused by dry grass in vacant lots or on banks, signs, etc.) based on the object being burned. Of these, building fires have accounted for more than 60% of fires in recent years.
