In Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture, which was severely affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake that occurred on the afternoon of the 1st, Daigo Otsuka photographers are broadcasting.
Daigo Otsuka photographer said:
This is the scene of a fire that has been going on since last night in Kawai Town, Wajima City. Dozens of buildings collapsed, and from here, it is not known how many were burned.
This is the Asai Street of Kawai-cho, Wajima City, and it is a tourist attraction in Wajima. It is a morning market with a history of more than 1,000 years, and it is the center of Wajima City, where there were mothers selling fish on the roadside and vendors selling Wajima lacquer. It used to be a tourist attraction, but now it doesn't look like it used to be. The streets are now filled with white smoke and flames, and firefighting activities have continued.
There are also people on the street who come back to their homes and clean up.
At the scene here, yesterday I could also see a man standing there in his clothes and running away, looking at his home, and the man said, "I don't know what to do next." I can't get in touch with my relatives, what should I do?"
Firefighting activities continue, and the full extent of the damage is not yet known. There are also cases where houses have collapsed in my neighborhood and elderly people are waiting for rescue. Now ambulances are being heard on the streets, and rescue activities have begun.
