Ryota Haga was in high school when the biggest earthquake ever recorded in Japan triggered a deadly tsunami and swept away his family home in the quiet northeastern town of Otsuchi in March 2011. Now 31, a volunteer firefighter with a wife and toddler, he's facing a new disaster: a wildfire in its sixth day that has burned over 1,600 hectares as of Monday (April 27) morning. - REUTERS
