The fire erupted near Tsuruhashi station on Kintetsu Line. Someone said "Around Tsuruhashi, something is always burning. So, fire eruption from a house can be included in such a thing."
That is, Tsuruhashi is famous as Korean Town and is always full of odor of baked beef. And, Tsuruhashi station was nominated into "The 100 nicest smelling landscapes in Japan".
But, I don't think the burning house didn't smell like baked beef.
