Fire at student dormitory causes panic

According to the information obtained, a fire broke out on the 4th floor of the Şule Yüksel Şenler Girls' Student Dormitory, located on Şaban Yılmaz Street in the Yenidoğan neighborhood of the district, allegedly due to a malfunction in an electrical outlet. As the fire spread to a bed in the dormitory, students panicked and rushed out into the street.

Upon notification, police, fire, and medical teams were dispatched to the area. While police teams took security measures in the vicinity, fire crews intervened in the blaze. Medical teams provided on-site assistance to students who felt unwell due to the panic; there were no injuries reported in the fire.

Meanwhile, local shopkeepers took the students, who were left outside in the rainy weather, into their businesses and offered them tea. After the smoke in the dormitory was cleared, the students returned to their rooms. An investigation into the fire has been launched.

Dursun Özdemir, who took the students into his business to prevent them from getting wet in the rainy weather, said, "Citizens passing by in front of our business informed us that there was a fire upstairs. The children were a bit panicked. We called out to them from below and brought them down.

It is cold outside and it is raining. We took the children inside. We didn't want them to get cold. We are offering them tea. We understand that they will be allowed back into the dormitory once it has been ventilated. We called out to the children; naturally, they got out of their beds and came out in their pajamas.

Some shared their clothes with their friends. That is why we are hosting them. Furthermore, our fellow shopkeepers are also hosting them. This is our duty as human beings," he said.
