A drill simulating a fire caused by lightning was conducted at Kanazawa College of Art and Craft in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Following the college's relocation in October 2023, the Kanazawa City Fire Department organized the drill for the first time to help local fire brigades confirm access routes. About 220 members of the Kanazawa City First Fire Brigade participated. Under the scenario that lightning during bad weather ignited a tree on campus and strong winds threatened to spread the fire to the school building, the members drew water from the nearby Tatsumi Canal to extinguish the fire and prevented it from spreading. Brigade chief Yoshitoshi Kawamura said, "There are many houses here, so we will maintain a solid defensive posture and continue working for the safety and security of the community."
