N2  - According to official reports, 286 fires broke out due to the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake and its aftershocks. Approximately half of the fires occurred in flooded area following the great tsunami. Those fires have very unique aspects compared with other conflagrations followed by big earthquakes in the past. Investigations of those large fires were conducted in various districts. Some characteristic aspects of fires are introduced with case examples related to fire developing patterns and regional characteristics based on topographical and industrial features.<p />
