At the contained large forest fire in Otsuchi Town, firefighters resumed extinguishing a heat source on May 7, 2026, located on the seaward side of the town road Rias Scenic Line in the Kirikiri district; personnel entered the mountain with members of the hunters' association around 09:45, with an infrared camera-equipped helicopter providing aerial backup.
