A fire erupted late on August 11 at Daido Steel's Chita Plant in Tokai, Aichi Prefecture, engulfing an outdoor scrap metal storage area. No injuries were reported, and flames did not spread to adjacent structures. Firefighters arrived at the scene around 10:30 p.m. and battled the blaze into the early hours of August 12 before it was brought under control.
Investigations are underway to determine the exact cause of the fire. Typhoon No. 15 continued its westward path across central Japan on August 12, though heavy rain and strong winds posed risks outside the storm's center, leading to localized flooding and tree damage in parts of Tokyo, Ibaraki, and Tochigi prefectures.
