THE CAR HE BROUGHT FROM THE MECHANIC CAUGHT FIRE
After a while, Silim's car caught fire from the engine part when he started it to heat it up. Upon notification, police and fire teams were dispatched to the area. While the police teams took security measures around, the fire teams intervened in the fire. The fire that broke out in the car was extinguished by the teams before it could spread, but the car sustained material damage. An investigation has been launched regarding the incident.
"THE CAR HAS BEEN IN REPAIR FOR 3 DAYS"
Kadir Silim, who stated that he had been taking his car to the mechanic for 3 days and that it caught fire when he started it while parked, said, "The car had some electrical problems. I said, 'Let me start the car.' It caught fire as soon as I started it. There was a loud noise, and it caught fire. The fire teams said the fire originated from the electrical system. The cables near the battery melted. Work had been done in that area. The sockets there had been changed. It most likely originated from there. We will talk to the mechanic. He will probably not accept responsibility, but we will request an expert report. The reports provided by the fire department are important. We will file a complaint," he stated.
