The incident occurred at around 22:00 on Acele Street in Fevzi Çakmak Neighborhood. The person who lit a fire from garbage in the abandoned building mobilized the people around him when the building was covered in thick smoke. The people around him tried to persuade the man who was having difficulty breathing to get him out of the building. However, this person refused to accept help, shouting, "You are entering my house without permission, leave me alone."

Upon notification, police, fire department and medical teams were dispatched to the scene. The person, who was convinced by the police teams affiliated with the Pendik District Police Department, was taken out of the building and taken to the police station. Fire department teams quickly extinguished the fire. It was learned that the suspect lived alone and had psychological problems.

'HE'S BEEN HERE FOR 20 DAYS'

Umut Yılmaz, who lives in the neighborhood, said, “He has been coming in here for 15-20 days. The police were notified , his criminal record was checked. Since there was no problem, there was no problem. Today, he set a tire on fire. He had not set a tire on fire before. He is from outside, I do not know him. No one in the neighborhood knows him either.”
