Life Market Fire Extinguished in Küçükçekmece
Fire breaks out in Kucukcekmece neighborhood, damaging slum
A fire broke out in the Canary neighborhood of Kucukcekmece on 1st Calikuşu Street, affecting a 2-storey slum. The cause of the fire is still unknown, but it quickly spread to the building next door. Fortunately, no one was inside the slum at the time of the incident, and authorities were quickly notified.
Firefighters faced challenges reaching the fire due to ongoing electrical work in the area. Despite the difficulties, they were able to extinguish the flames and prevent any casualties. However, the slum was left uninhabitable and the adjacent building suffered material damage.
Umit Demir, a resident affected by the fire, shared his experience saying, “I have lived here for over 20 years. We only moved here a month ago. My sister called me to inform me that the house was on fire. Fortunately, most of our belongings were already removed, but the firefighters arrived late.”
Authorities are currently investigating the incident to determine the cause of the fire. The neighborhood is left in shock as they come to terms with the impact of the fire on the community.
