Antalya hardware store destroyed by fire

Antalya Kepez hardware store fire construction materials firefighting

A large fire broke out at a hardware and construction materials store in the Kepez district of Antalya, Turkey. The incident occurred on Sütçüler Street in the Sütçüler neighborhood, reportedly minutes after the owners had closed the shop for the day.

Firefighters from the Antalya Metropolitan Municipality responded to the scene, breaking through the shop's shutters to combat the flames. The presence of flammable materials, including paint and thinner, caused the fire to intensify, resulting in loud explosions and thick smoke that covered the surrounding area.

Emergency crews worked for approximately 1.5 hours to bring the blaze under control and prevent it from spreading to adjacent businesses and the upper floors of nearby residential buildings. While the store sustained significant material damage, no injuries or fatalities were reported. An investigation into the cause of the fire has been launched.
