日本东北部发生的一起山火在持续11天后得到控制，过火土地面积达1633公顷。当地官员与消防与灾害管理厅于周六确认了这一消息。这场大火是当地30多年来第二大山火，始于4月22日，地点位于岩手县大槌町。
这场山火始于4月22日，地点位于岩手县大槌町，持续燃烧了11天，过火土地面积达1633公顷。据消防与灾害管理厅统计，大火共摧毁了8座建筑。该机构指出，这是当地30多年来过火面积第二大的山火。
大槌町町长平野公三表示：“在与消防部门实地考察后，我们接到通知，目前情况已可被定性为‘得到控制’。但由于仍有余火复燃的可能，我们将继续保持警惕。”
该地区持续的降雨对灭火工作有所助益，疏散令已于本周早些时候解除。去年，邻近的岩手县大船渡市也曾发生一起大规模山火，从2月下旬一直持续到4月初，过火面积约3370公顷。

The main blaze of a wildfire in the southeastern city of Miryang was extinguished on Tuesday noon. The fire, which started Monday afternoon, affected 143 hectares some 280 kilometers southeast of Seoul, leading to the evacuation of 184 residents and patients. Rain and firefighting efforts helped contain it.
Wildfires broke out Wednesday at two sites in Otsuchi, Iwate Prefecture, prompting authorities to urge over 1,000 residents to evacuate. No casualties have been reported amid ongoing firefighting efforts. Dry air and strong winds exacerbated the blazes.

Two mountain fires in Otsuchi, Iwate Prefecture, which erupted Wednesday, had burned over 200 hectares by Thursday morning. Self-Defense Forces helicopters were deployed to combat the blazes, which destroyed seven structures and forced 245 evacuations amid a recent earthquake aftermath. The town, scarred by the 2011 tsunami, faces added risks from dry weather.
A recent study in Science Advances has found that the number of days with conditions ideal for extreme wildfires—combining heat, drought, and wind—has nearly tripled globally in the past 45 years. This increase, driven largely by human-caused climate change, is most notable in the Americas and involves more frequent simultaneous risks across regions. The findings highlight challenges for firefighting resources and underscore the need for homeowner preparedness.
