A fire broke out at Camp Asaka of Japan’s Ground Self-Defense Force on Monday. 
No one was injured, and the GSDF and fire authorities are investigating the cause of the fire. 
Around 11:30 a.m., fire authorities received an emergency call reporting that black smoke can be seen. 
According to the GSDF and fire authorities, the fire started at a garbage collection area located in the southwestern part of Camp Asaka, which straddles municipalities including Tokyo’s Nerima Ward and the city of Asaka in Saitama Prefecture. 
The fire was put out about an hour and a half later after burning a container for garbage and part of a prefabricated building nearby. 
Camp Asaka hosts the headquarters of both the GSDF’s Ground Component Command and Eastern Army, according to the website of the camp.
