Following significant fires, including two at the<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tanga <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Market and another near JR Kokura Station, the city plans to include a 9 million yen budget for the new fiscal year to support this initiative. Approximately 170 establishments located in high-risk &#8220;special firefighting districts&#8221; will be eligible for subsidies covering 90% of the installation costs. The Kitakyushu City Industrial and Economic Bureau emphasized the importance of this measure in preventing loss of life and ensuring swift recovery in the event of fires. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20240214\/5010023413.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><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-160060\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_kitakyshu-city-fire_2024_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C794&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kitakyushu City to Subsidize Fire Safety in Wooden Eateries \" width=\"1400\" height=\"794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_kitakyshu-city-fire_2024_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_kitakyshu-city-fire_2024_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C170&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_kitakyshu-city-fire_2024_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C581&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_kitakyshu-city-fire_2024_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C436&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
