TOKYO (Dow Jones)--Bridgestone Corp. (5108.TO) said Wednesday that a fire that broke out of its tire plant in Nasu in
northern Japan has been extinguished, but it may have to push back the planned restart of the plant operation there.
The plant has been damaged by the recent 9.0-magnitude earthquake but was planning to restart operations Wednesday
night. A fire broke out 0305 GMT and was extinguished around 0341 GMT, which may prompt a decision to delay the plant's
operation startup. The fire department is now checking the cause of the fire.
