		</div><p>A forest fire has broken out in a rural area north of Tokyo, close to another blaze which has been burning for four days.</p>
<p>One man suffered burns and was taken to hospital, said Hitomi Hirokami, an official in Kiryu in the Gunma prefecture, about 60 miles north-west of Tokyo.</p>
<p>News footage showed smoke billowing upwards from the hills.</p>
<p>Another fire has been raging in nearby Ashikaga in the Tochigi prefecture, where 207 households have been asked to evacuate, said spokesman Minoru Takayama.</p>
<p>Firefighters were working on the ground, while military helicopters were dousing the area.</p>
<p>The two fires are not directly related, but the area has not had much rain lately, causing flames to spread, officials said.</p>
<p>An evacuation order for Ashikaga was first issued on Tuesday for about 50 households, underlining how the stricken area was growing.</p>
<p>The cause of the fire was unclear, but there is a rest stop for hikers in an area where it is believed to have started.</p>
<p>Three evacuation centres were set up with social distancing measures and everyone is wearing masks, officials said.</p>
