A lightning strike on the roof of a three-story apartment building on Fidan Street in Kültür Mahallesi resulted in a fire.
Following reports from residents in the area, a large number of firefighters, police, medical, and disaster and emergency management teams were dispatched to the scene.
The fire, which was handled by the Bolu Municipality Fire Department, was extinguished before it could spread to the lower floors and surrounding buildings.
There was a scuffle between the residents of the apartment building and the firefighters, with some claiming that the response time was slow and the intervention was inadequate.
Police officers made efforts to calm the situation between the two parties for a significant amount of time.
Three women who were in the building at the time of the lightning strike and reported feeling unwell were taken to the Bolu Izzet Baysal State Hospital Koroglu Unit by ambulance.
