In Japanese Lore
Kagutsuchi (カグツチ, historically 迦具土の神 or 火之迦具土; lit. "Incarnation of Fire". or 火産霊; lit. "Causer of Fire") was the final child of Izanami (イザナミ, historically 伊弉冉尊 or 伊邪那美命; lit. "She Who Invites") and her husband Izanagi (イザナギ, historically 伊邪那岐; lit. "He Who Invites"). As a god who was born either made of fire or constantly expelling fire, his birth caused Izanami to be burned to death.

This story also contains references to traditional fire-fighting tools: gourds for carrying water and wet clay and water reeds for smothering fires.
