A massive fire broke out this morning, Tuesday, at a paper factory in the Vakfıkıy area of Bursa, Turkey, and soon spread to four neighboring factories related to paper, textiles, and polyester foam. Turkish media reported that multiple firefighting teams have been dispatched to the scene, and a firefighting helicopter has been enlisted to provide aerial support.
Due to the risk of the fire spreading, nearby residential areas have been evacuated as a precautionary measure. This situation has raised significant concern among local residents, with hundreds of curious citizens gathering at the site to witness the flames and thick smoke. The magnitude of the fire has been documented through aerial photographs taken by drones.
Despite the intensive efforts of the Greater Bursa Municipality's firefighting teams to control the blaze, the flames managed to spread to four factories in the surrounding area. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined, but investigations into the incident are ongoing. Authorities are working diligently at the scene to mitigate the effects of the fire and ensure environmental safety.
