“All of them left the building in a healthy condition. We also rescued a
few pets. Our biggest reward is there was no loss of life. This building has
an early warning system and this incident showed the importance of it to
everyone,” Polat said.
The flames appeared to spread from the base of the tower and raged up one side
of the building, leaving it scorched black.
State broadcaster TRT Haber quoted Istanbul Governor Huseyin Avni as saying
the fire had started in the air conditioning units at the base of the tower.
