Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] At least 622 people were evacuated from the burning Asrin Beach Hotel in the Turkish resort of Alanya in Antalya Province. This was reported on June 12 by the IHA agency. It is specified that the fire occurred on the night of June 12 in the basement, where the sauna and laundry are located. Ten fire brigades and doctors arrived at the scene. "In total, 622 tourists were evacuated during the one-hour operation. Three tourists were hospitalized due to carbon monoxide poisoning," the statement said. The fire was localized and extinguished within an hour. The rescued people were moved to nearby hotels. As Alanya Mayor Osman Tarık Özçelik noted on the X social network, "the firefighters responded to the situation quickly and in a coordinated manner." As Ozcelik noted, on April 22, the city authorities found that Asrin Beach Hotel did not have a license to receive guests, and the hotel was sealed to correct the deficiencies. But two days later, the hotel owners received a court order to postpone the measures to close. Alanya City Hall filed an appeal, which the court upheld, and on June 11, the hotel management received an official notice that the hotel would be sealed, and the owners were given time to resettle the guests. According to the preliminary version, the fire was caused by faulty electrical wiring. Posted by: badanov 2025-06-14 |
