A dramatic start to this beautiful Sunday morning. Looking out my window I spotted thick smoke rising from the intersection near Uchisaiwaicho Station 内幸町駅 in the Toranomon 虎ノ門 / Hibiya 日比谷 / Nishi-shimbashi 西新橋 area. No details yet, but hope there were no fatalities or injuries.

Within about 10-15 minutes the fire department was able to quell the fire, as far as I can see.
