It was not an old building, it was part of a theme park called ninja village "Hizen Yume Kaido". Employees set fire to some dry grass near a warehouse next to this building, the warehouse caught fire spread to this building. Employees safely evacuated guests, guests were dressed in Ninja costumes. The building was destroyed by the fire that burnt for hours. It was also one of the hottest days of the year, several firemen were admitted to hospital with suspected heatstroke. The building housed some reptiles and other animals, news reports did not say if they were rescued.
I find their firefighting tactics surprising - nowhere near enough volume and pressure of water given the highly flammable nature of the typical Japanese structure. I can only assume that there was a water supply problem.

If you look at the diameter of the hose they are using and the fact that they are able to control the nozzle of the hose with just one or two fire fighters it becomes obvious when watching videos of fire fighting in Japan that they use lower pressures and flow rates. The same size hose (approx. 2 1/2 inch) in the US would be at 100+psi with a flow rate in well in excess of 1500gpm and uncontrollable by less than 2 to three fire fighters. In videos I haves seen from Holland they appear to favor smaller diameter preconnected hose reels on their trucks for initial attacks, but a 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 hose at higher pressures and flow rates for most fire fighting operations of any length or fire loads. The biggest decider is probably the available water supply, and what equipment your crews can handle.

@@Jason-7212 A common nozzle size for firefighting in Japan is 7/8in with a 1 1/2in hose, and around 50psi is often indicated. The maximum hand line is a smooth nozzle of 1 inch. If it's a fire in a fireproof building (professional firefighters only), an indoor attack with a 2in or 1 1/2 hose is used. Too low pressure, the volunteer firefighter's portable pump was engaged in relay water supply, it is assumed that the city water supply was low, and the communication between pumps was difficult. Often their trucks are red trucks with portable pumps and don't even carry personal radios. Presumably the caution not to blow the Nozzleman out resulted in a 20psi result.

These firemen need to acquire aerial ladders or snorkels in order to get the water closer to the fire source. It seems to be a common issue with the fire's they fight. It's obvious that the streets are narrow and crowded, as well as a great deal of overhead wires, but they need to come up with equipment to fill that need.

Pretty much like the States, misguided priorities. Fire departments don't generate income, they are over head, they cost money to operate and maintain. They operate on an Acceptable Risk Management philosophy. They pretty much just cross their fingers and hope there are few big fires, and the occasional barn burner is acceptable. Sounds harsh, but a fact of life in a money strapped city.

The temple is uphill and appears far away from water source. You can see around the 4min mark where they are relay pumping water to location. Given this information, a ladder truck will not serve much purpose here.

Se hubiese acabado más rápido el incendio, si no intervienen, los bomberos tanto equipo, tanto personal, que lástima que no lo aprovechen, es mi opinión desde la óptica de quien filmo el video
I've noticed that another Japanese videos about fires , they seem to be very unprepared

They’re well prepared. There’s not much you can do however you’re prepared in this situation where the house this size is made of wood but just let it burnt down and keep the fire away from the neighboring structures.

Das sind die freiwilligen Nachbarschaftstrupps. Die tragen im ländlichen oft den traditionellen Überwarf. Die sollen idR "nur" schnell eine Riegelstellung zu den benachbarten Gebäuden errichten, bis das erste LF eintrifft oder wie hier, bei der Wasserversorgung helfen.
