On the night of March 12, the operators of the 119 emergency call center in Kumamoto City received a call about a car that was on fire. Then they received another call about the car, and then another. However, the multiple reports weren’t due to diligent residents all reporting the same blaze…
If I had a nickel for every time I’ve read about a truck (I think the other one was also Japanese) on fire that drove itself to a fire station, I’d have 10¢. It’s not much, but it’s more than I would have expected.
I’m mostly amused because I expected this to the a story about the previous incident however many years ago it was, yet this one is new. heh.
Also, TIL there’s trucks that drive around selling hot sweet potatoes… ah, Japan.
