According to the fire department, smoke was reported at around 2:40 a.m. on April 19. More than 20 fire trucks and other vehicles were dispatched to extinguish the fire. Known as &#8220;Kitakyushu&#8217;s kitchen&#8221; and a popular tourist attraction, the aging wooden structure has become a problem in terms of disaster prevention and fire prevention. The market was slated for a major rebuild by 2027, with redevelopment already underway. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tnc.co.jp\/news\/articles\/NID2022041913480\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TNC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20220419\/5010015528.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHK<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-146015\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/fnn_tanga-market-fire_2022_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C790&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Large Fire at Tanga Market in Kitakyushu\" width=\"1400\" height=\"790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/fnn_tanga-market-fire_2022_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/fnn_tanga-market-fire_2022_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/fnn_tanga-market-fire_2022_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C578&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/fnn_tanga-market-fire_2022_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C433&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Get Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu area news and events in English reliably.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sign up for our <\/span><b>free<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> weekly newsletter.
