日本岩手县大槌町周三两处地点发生森林火灾，当地政府呼吁超过1000名居民撤离。目前灭火工作仍在进行中，暂无人员伤亡报告。干燥的空气和强风加剧了火势。
周三，日本东北部岩手县大槌町发生森林火灾。第一起火灾发生于下午1点50分左右的古槌地区，火势蔓延至多栋建筑及附近林地。警方表示，当天下午在约10公里外的吉里吉里地区又发生了另一起火灾。
当地政府要求第二起火灾附近的566户共1077名居民撤离，并请求自卫队协助。岩手县政府于下午4点设立了特别灾害对策本部，并调派救灾直升机进行灭火作业。
据警方称，一名居民于下午1点55分左右报告了首起火灾，形容当时“火从山坡上窜出”。至少有包括住宅和谷仓在内的五栋建筑被烧毁，大火持续在三陆铁道大槌站西北方8公里处的林地蔓延。
盛冈地方气象台此前已针对大槌町在内的南部沿海地区发布了干燥天气和强风警报。一名在体育馆避难的61岁居民表示：“没想到会有两处同时起火，我非常担心家里的情况。”目前尚无人员伤亡报告。
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.
