Melisa Akcan had also left her five children at home the previous evening to go collect scrap, locking the door behind her. While the mother was out, a stove in the house tipped over, causing a fire. The five children remained trapped in the house, which was engulfed in flames and had its door locked. When the mother returned, she saw the smoke rising from the house and called for help.

As the fire grew rapidly, the house filled with smoke, and the 5 siblings remained trapped inside because the door was locked. Neighborhood residents who noticed the fire notified the fire department and medical teams. While the teams that arrived at the scene intervened and extinguished the fire, the lifeless bodies of the siblings, identified as Aras Bulut (1), Masal Işık (2), Aslan Miraç (3), Funda Peri Akcan (4), and Fadime Nefes (5), were found inside.

While the flames were brought under control by the intervention of the fire crews, it was determined that three of the children, who were removed from the house by their mother, had died from poisoning. Two children in critical condition lost their lives at the hospital. According to initial findings from the autopsy, there were no burn marks on the children's bodies; all of them had died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
