In early July 2026, a fire broke out in a four‑storey apartment building in Bolu, Turkey, after an unattended stove caused smoke that injured a resident. Initial reports identified the stove as the source of the blaze.

By early August, investigators clarified that the dense smoke had been mistaken for a natural‑gas leak, prompting a 112 emergency call and a large emergency response. Two residents suffered smoke inhalation and were treated on site. Police opened an inquiry into the false alarm, but no criminal activity was found.

The two snapshots together trace the incident from its immediate cause to the subsequent clarification and official response.
