東京都中央区の築地場外市場で木造の店舗7棟が全焼した火災で、火元が老舗ラーメン店の厨房内だった可能性が高いと警視庁築地署が明らかにした。朝日新聞デジタルなどが報じた。
署は４日朝から現場の実況見分を始め、火元や出火原因を調べていた。署によると、店内の厨房の焼け方が最も激しかった。燃焼状況や従業員の説明などから、出火原因は、スープを作る寸胴（ずんどう）鍋を加熱するコンロから、近くの壁に熱が伝わってこもり、突然発火する「伝導過熱」によるものだったとみられるという。
同店では３日午後、閉店後に従業員らが厨房でスープの仕込みをし、午後４時ごろまでには退店していた。従業員らは「火が消えていたことは確認した」と説明しているという。
