Istanbul — A devastating fire at a perfume warehouse in northwestern Turkey has resulted in the tragic deaths of at least six people, with two others sustaining injuries. The unfortunate incident occurred on Saturday morning, sending a wave of shock through the local community.
According to Turkish media reports, the massive blaze erupted in a two-storey building located in the Dilovasi district, which was being utilized as a storage facility for perfumes. The intensity of the fire was so severe that it led to the complete destruction of the structure.
Emergency response teams swiftly arrived at the scene to initiate rescue operations. However, the heavy loss of life occurred before the fire could be fully contained and the damage assessed.
Despite preliminary inquiries, officials have yet to clarify the cause of the fire. Police and fire department investigators are thoroughly examining whether the incident was the result of a technical malfunction, human error, or the presence of highly flammable materials like perfume.
