In a bid to decrease forest fire due to the extreme weather condition, Japanese administration told their local officials to prepare for a joint exercise across Japan to inspect on public safety of locals living near the forest as it is a place where high combustible materials can erupt in a forest fire. The Japanese premier yesterday allowed for the release of the $5 million grants for public safety. The grant is specifically centered to suburban areas or native villages to help improve their conditions although the exact disbursement of the funds have not yet been disclose to the media and local authorities as they are still waiting for direct orders inside the palace. Local authorities, meanwhile, are very grateful that the new government has acted upon their request faster than the usual time it takes, as the danger that forest fire creates is as real as it can be. A forest fire two years ago killed many people who were trapped in the forest while local authorities look haplessly at the victims not been able to rescue then since they don&rsquot have the appropriate equipments.
