A fire broke out on the roof of an abandoned building, which was previously used as a college, in Kartal, Istanbul, for an unknown reason.



FLAMES ROSE



The fire quickly grew and engulfed the roof. Upon notification, fire, health, and police teams were dispatched to the scene. The fire brigade managed to control and extinguish the fire.



GREAT PANIC



The fire caused great panic in the area below the building, which is used as an association. It was learned that there were no casualties or injuries in the fire.



3RD FIRE IN THE SAME BUILDING



Mehmet Ali Arslan, who spoke about the fire, said, "This place has been burning for 2-3 times already. We are the soloists of the Goodness Association here. We were working. When this fire broke out during our work, we panicked. We went outside. Then we saw that a very bad fire had broken out. We called the fire department. They are kindly taking care of it. They need to intervene here in Kartal. Why are drug addicts sheltering here? Children come here to study 3-4 days a week. It is sad for something like this to happen in such a beautiful place. Our friends were very scared. We made many of our friends drink ayran to counter the effects of the smoke," he said.



Arslan also stated, "That’s why I hope something like this doesn’t happen. There were some people inside. Why are they there, and why is it not being checked? This part is abandoned. It doesn’t suit Kartal. This is the third fire that has broken out. The fire department keeps coming and going. So it’s not a good thing. I wish they had taken precautions earlier. If this part is going to collapse, let it collapse, or take precautions. There were no injuries, but cars were damaged. Materials fell from the windows above. Because of that, parked vehicles were damaged. It’s a shame; they shouldn’t be harmed. We really need to be careful," he expressed.
