I have to wonder if they saved the flame. I mean, did someone have the foresight to take part of the fire?
Sorry if it was in the video. I never watch videos...
The flame, which spiritual leaders say has been continuously lit for more than 1,200 years, was salvaged after the blaze and moved to a different site.
The firefighters managed to put out the building blaze, but preserve the flame. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/world/asia/japan-fire-eternal-flame-reikado.html
So wonderful to hear! And thanks for the link!
