Tokyo, Rabi'I 21, 1439 H., December 09, 2017, SPA -- Five people have been killed in a house fire in the Japanese city of Toyonaka, local media reported Saturday citing Police sources.
The blaze initially broke out on the ground floor of the two-storey wooden house in Osaka province, and quickly spread to envelop the entire building.
The wooden building in a densely built-up neighbourhood was predominantly home to older people - between the ages of 60 and 90 - living on their own.
The fire department needed nearly three hours to put out the flames.
