Abstract

A tragic fire at a ski resort hotel in northern Turkey resulted in 78 deaths, with reports indicating that the hotel lacked basic fire safety measures such as sprinklers, working alarm systems, and fire-resistant doors on emergency stairways. The absence of a nearby fire station also delayed the response time of firefighters. The incident has led to the arrest of eleven individuals, including a deputy mayor and fire marshal, with conflicting statements from the Tourism Minister and the municipality regarding responsibility for inspecting fire precautions.
