A fire broke out in a single-story wooden house on Çay Street in Aşağısoku neighborhood, which was not inhabited by anyone and used by the owner for hobby purposes. Upon noticing the fire, local residents reported it to the 112 Emergency Call Center. In response, a large number of fire brigade, police, and SEDAŞ (electricity distribution company) teams were dispatched to the scene. The Bolu Municipality fire brigade teams intervened and quickly extinguished the fire, but the house became uninhabitable as a result.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation. The residents are puzzled as to how the fire started in the empty house which was only used for hobbies. The authorities are looking into various possibilities such as electrical faults or arson. Thankfully, there were no injuries reported in the incident, as no one was present in the house at the time of the fire. The quick response of the emergency services prevented the fire from spreading to neighboring buildings, saving further damage and potential casualties.
Local authorities have assured the public that they are taking all necessary measures to prevent such incidents in the future. They are conducting inspections in the neighborhood to ensure that all houses meet safety standards and regulations. In the meantime, the owner of the house is cooperating with the investigation and providing any information that may help determine the cause of the fire. The community has come together to support the owner and offer assistance in rebuilding or repairing the damaged house.
The incident has raised concerns among residents about the safety of their own homes and the need for increased awareness about fire prevention measures. It serves as a reminder for everyone to have working smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and an emergency evacuation plan in place. The local authorities are planning to organize awareness campaigns and training sessions on fire safety to educate the public and reduce the risk of such accidents in the future.
