The devastating fire at Turkey’s Kartalkaya ski resort has resulted in the tragic loss of at least 76 lives. The fire, which broke out in the early hours of the morning, engulfed a popular hotel and surrounding areas, leaving many trapped inside. Emergency responders and local authorities have been working tirelessly to control the blaze and rescue any survivors, though the death toll continues to rise.
The resort, located in the Bolu province, was a popular winter destination, attracting both local and international visitors. Many of the victims were guests who were staying at the resort, while others were employees. Local authorities have launched a thorough investigation into the cause of the fire, although early reports suggest it may have been sparked by an electrical fault.
As the community mourns the loss, questions about safety protocols in tourist establishments are being raised. The tragedy has prompted widespread calls for stricter fire safety regulations at ski resorts and other high-traffic vacation destinations.
