A fire broke out on the top floor of a five‑story residential building in Kağıthane’s Talatpaşa neighborhood at around 00:30 on Tuesday. The blaze quickly spread to the roof, prompting an emergency response that involved police, fire and medical teams. Firefighters worked for approximately one hour to extinguish the flames. During the operation, residents of the building were evacuated as a precaution. No injuries or fatalities were reported, although the roof sustained significant damage. Police secured the surrounding area to prevent the fire from spreading to adjacent houses. Fire crews used a four‑handed approach to tackle the blaze, while police maintained perimeter security. A witness, Harun Sir, who lives nearby, described the incident: “I was sleeping when the sirens started. I woke up and went out to help. Unfortunately, the cars in the street prevented the fire engines from arriving quickly. Thankfully, no one was left inside the building. The fire is still ongoing, but we hope nothing worse happens. There is property damage, but no loss of life.” Investigators have begun an inquiry into the cause of the fire.
