Dozens DEAD As People Jump From Windows to Escape HORROR Fire at Turkish SKI Resort Hotel 4 Arrests Made

Hotel fire at popular ski resort in Turkey kills at least 76 people, interior minister says


Witnesses say people used bed sheets or jumped to try to get out of the 12-storey Grand Kartal hotel


The Guardian 22 JAN 2025





Seventy-six people died and 51 others were injured when a fire engulfed a popular ski resort hotel in Turkeys Bolu mountains, forcing guests to jump out of windows or attempt to use bed sheets to flee the building.




The fire broke out at about 3.30am on Tuesday in the restaurant of the 12-storey Grand Kartal hotel in the resort of Kartalkaya in Bolu province, north-west Turkey.

We are in deep pain, Turkeys interior minister, Ali Yerlikaya, told reporters after inspecting the site. But you should know that whoever is responsible for causing this pain will not escape justice.

Yerlikaya said at least 51 other people had been injured and that 45 of the 76 people killed had been identified. Efforts to identify the other victims were continuing, he said.

The health minister, Kemal Memişoğlu, said at least one of the people injured was in a serious condition and that 17 others had been discharged from hospital.

The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, announced a national day of mourning to be observed on Wednesday. All flags at government buildings and Turkish diplomatic mission abroad would be lowered to half-mast, he said.

In an earlier address from Ankara, Erdoğan said: Unfortunately, we received very sad news this morning from Bolu, Kartalkaya. Our brothers and sisters were killed and injured in a fire that broke out in a hotel.

All necessary steps will be taken to shed light on all aspects of the incident and to hold those responsible accountable.

The government appointed six prosecutors to lead an investigation into the fire. Nine people had been detained as part of the investigation, Yerlikaya said. Earlier, the justice minister, Yilmaz Tunc, said the hotels owner was among the people detained for questioning.






Yerlikaya said there were 238 guests at the hotel, which is on the side of a cliff and has 161 rooms. Two of the victims died after jumping from the building in a panic, Bolus governor, Abdulaziz Aydin, told the state-run Anadolu Agency.
