I suppose that makes sense.

i wonder what started the fire...

That's why you keep flame backups.

Update: OP added link :D

OP forgot the link so here is one of the news articles about it: https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2026/may/21/buddhist-hall-housing-eternal-flame-in-japan-destroyed-by-fire-video

How did the fire start? Wait, don't tell me...

One of the things I found incredible in Japan is nearly ever temple has a sign outside describing just how may times its burned down

Sometimes you've got to fight fire with fire

Flame survived the firemen, not the fire?

can't believe japan ripped off the bangles

Flame on!
