He] recalled feeling fearful when he learned that fire had been confirmed at the No. 4 reactor at 9:38 a.m. Seventeen minutes later, Shimomura wrote that TEPCO reported: “The fire is out of control.” It was only at about 11 a.m. that the blaze had burned out by itself.
Another rumor is prevailing on the internet.
Some people are saying reactor4 is on fire. They are based on the “Live” camera of Tepco.
The issued video (below) was taken from 20:00 to 21:00 of 5/20/2014. It captures something red and they are assuming it should be the fire on reactor4.
I can’t objectively assert there was absolutely no fire in Fukushima plant on 5/20/2014, but I can at least state the rumor maker doesn’t know where reactor buildings are located. From judging the accuracy of this rumor maker, I entirely doubt the credibility of this story.

I think your opinions are correct and that the fire being reported in ENENews is actually a quote from 2011 and not 2014 (phew!) Also seems to be corroborated by the fukushima-diary.com website.
Thank you to you both, for that clarification, although Fukushima is still a worry, it is not as much of an imminent disaster as I first thought, having come across the new youtube rumours.

It's really hard to tell. I'm not sure why one of our broadcasters would be afraid of a media threat by Japan. It is suspicious they don't report anything on it though (CNN, FOX, etc.).

I agree it sure is an ongoing disaster and not a dwindling one either. How do you know the fire was actually from 2014 and the story squelched?, do you have some info you can send me/ post?
No, I did not know that there had been a law on the reporting of Fukushima passed, wow, that is scary for lots of reasons.
I love fish and especially prawns, but I have to admit it is not just the price that puts me off buying them these days.

I live here and I didn't hear about the law being passed. I see why NHK English is the only place now to get information on it.
