A fire broke out in a five-story apartment building in Beyoğlu. Firefighters rescued two people and a cat from the flames. The cat, which was affected by smoke and had a stopped heart, was revived thanks to the CPR performed by the team.
The Sururi Mehmet Efendi neighborhood in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul experienced a fire around 09:00 for an undetermined reason in a five-story building located on İnce Kaş Street. As the flames engulfed the entire building, police, fire, and medical teams were dispatched to the scene upon notification. While police teams took security measures in the area, fire crews intervened in the flames.
THEY REVIVED THE CAT WHOSE HEART STOPPED
During the fire, two people in the building managed to escape on their own, while fire crews rescued two people and a cat from the flames. The cat, which had its heart stop due to smoke inhalation, was treated by medical and fire teams. After long efforts, the cat that received CPR was revived. The cat's owner watched the intervention in tears. While the fire crews brought the fire under control, it was learned that the health conditions of the three rescued individuals were good.
"THE CHILDREN WERE SCREAMING"
Şükran Ayrancı, a resident of the neighborhood, said, "I have been awake since 7 in the morning. Then I heard three foreign children screaming. Later, I opened the window and smelled something burning. When I opened the window of the back room, I saw smoke coming from the side street and realized that a fire had broken out. Only the foreigners were screaming. It started about one to one and a half hours ago. Since it was early in the morning, there was no one around."
