The seat of the fire was just outside the workshop of Kalkan Soft Furnishing, owned by Mustafa and Aysel Sönmez. Furniture, fabric and foam were amongst the articles that caught fire, adjacent to the workshop wall. Fortunately, the owners, and their children were not hurt, however Aysel was visibly upset, and was being comforted by friends. Thanks to the prompt response of the firemen, the blaze was extinguished before it could spread to the rest of the building. They did a fantastic job in protecting the rest of the bus station. Several members of the Kalkan Belediye were at the scene, as well as the Chief of the Jandarma. Below: Smoke and flames rise high into the sky. Photo taken from Kızıltaş mountain side.
