Toilet paper are an essential household item and you can imagine how anxious the Japanese fire department were when they received a report of a burning warehouse full of toilet paper. The fire department m0bilised 30 fire engines to the warehouse, but unfortunately not a single roll was saved.

A three-floor storage building belonging to toilet paper wholesaler AZFIT Co in Aikawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, went up in flames early Monday, police and firefighters said. Police said that the blaze started around 2 a.m. Thirty fire engines rushed to the 8,800-square-meter facility, but made little headway against the blaze. By 9 a.m., the building was completely destroyed.

Police said there were 10 employees in the building at the time the fire started, but one 50-year-old man remains missing.

The cause of the fire has not been determined, although a witness said he saw a cardboard box full of toilet paper rolls outside the building burning at first.
