Tragic Fire Claims Lives at Turkish Ski Resort Hotel

At least 10 dead and dozens injured in the devastating blaze at the Grand Kartal Hotel during peak winter vacation season.


A fire at a popular ski resort in Bolu province, Turkey, took the lives of at least 10 people and injured 32 others, igniting during the school winter break when families flock to the slopes.

The fire erupted at approximately 3:30 a.m. local time, engulfing the Grand Kartal Hotel as many occupants slept, prompting some guests to resort to makeshift escape methods, revealing dire scenes of panic as smoke filled the building.

The blaze reportedly began on the fourth floor, where the hotel’s restaurant is located. Eyewitness Necmi Kepcetutan, a skiing teacher working at the hotel, recounted the chaos, stating he and others attempted to assist as many people as possible to evacuate, but were hindered by the intense smoke that spread throughout the hotel. Local authorities dispatched rescuers and fire trucks to the site, while investigations into the fire’s cause remain ongoing.
