Yes, the fire was at outer market where a lot of small shops are located, not the fish market itself. Up to seven buildings/houses were burned, small wood houses standing next to each other. No injuries nor death reported at this moment. The fire department asked an electric company to shut down power during the fire, so area business had no electricity for few hours during the incident. One of building burnt housed a popular ramen restaurant Inoue, eat standing up on a sidewalk street but popular (least among Japanese) and often line forming from early in the morning (opening 4:30 a.m.).
