Murat Özgüneş, a patient's relative who was evacuated from the building, said that the fire broke out while they were waiting in the hospital's surgical department. Özgüneş said, "A fire started from a cable in the section downstairs where the delivery room and operating room are located. At first, there was a little smoke, but the smoke started to intensify significantly. Our surgery was canceled as a precaution."
