A fire broke out at the two-story perfume filling facility in Mimar Sinan Neighborhood at 09:00. The fire, which started for unknown reasons, quickly grew. The flames also spread to the roof of a building next to the workplace. Citizens reported the incident to the 112 Emergency Call Center. Upon notification, fire, health, and police teams were dispatched to the scene. The teams that arrived at the scene quickly extinguished the fire.
FAMILIES EXPERIENCED NERVOUS BREAKDOWNS
While 6 people lost their lives in the fire, 5 others were injured, one of them seriously. After the examinations, the lifeless bodies of the 6 individuals were taken to the hospital morgue, while their families experienced nervous breakdowns.
"WE HEARD PEOPLE SCREAMING"
Mehmet Düzgüner, who lives on the street where the burning factory is located, said, "It was around 09:00. I was awake; there was an explosion sound. I got up and looked down; a man was on fire. I went downstairs and took the hose from the garden. I extinguished the man, then I heard the screams. When I looked towards the sound, children and women were screaming inside the factory. I wanted to intervene; I wanted to save them, but the flames were too big; I couldn't get in. We called the fire department; they arrived late. We heard people screaming helplessly," he said.
"THERE WAS NOT EVEN A FIRE EXTINGUISHER HERE"
Düzgüner, who stated that there had been complaints about the factory before, said, "There wasn't even a fire extinguisher here. This place has been operating for more than 4 years. The authorities say, 'There is a license here.' How can a chemical factory be licensed? I live here. We are 5 meters apart. I don't know exactly how many people work here. They say, 'They are young'; most of them were women. There are also people from the neighborhood. May God give patience to their families," he said.
ARREST WARRANTS FOR 3 PEOPLE
Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç stated that a public prosecutor and two assistant public prosecutors, along with an expert committee, have been assigned in the investigation initiated by the Gebze Chief Public Prosecutor's Office regarding the fire. Tunç said, "An arrest warrant has been issued for 3 suspects within the scope of the investigation. The judicial investigation will continue in all its aspects and with great care."
THE DIMENSIONS OF THE TRAGEDY WERE REVEALED
After the fire, inspections at the facility revealed that all materials inside had burned and even the metal skeletons had been damaged. The images showed the extensive destruction inside the factory, revealing the scale of the tragedy.
