THE NEAREST FIRE STATION IS 49 MINUTES AWAY
While the staff and guests stated that the fire safety measures of the hotel were inadequate and that the fire alarm was not working, it was determined that when reaching the nearest fire station to the Grand Kartal Hotel by a private vehicle at an average speed of 70 kilometers per hour, the journey took approximately 49 minutes. Even if departing from the closest point to the Kartalkaya Ski Resort, it was seen that after preparations, intervention in the fire could only be made at the earliest 1 hour later.
"PEOPLE HAD TO THROW THEIR CHILDREN DOWN"
Mehmet Can Gezici, one of the hotel staff who survived the fire, stated, "We woke up around 03:00. When we got here, it looked like the end of the world. The hotel was already burned down in the middle, and it was progressing very badly upwards. We tried to help, bringing pillows and blankets for those jumping out of the windows. I had to witness a female nurse jumping from the 12th floor; she lost her life. It was very bad. People had to throw their children down to survive. Not many survived," he expressed.
