Three workers were killed and six more suffered from smoke exposure after a fire broke out at a factory dorm in Turkey's southern province of Mersin early on Thursday morning.
According to the Cihan news agency, the fire started for an unknown reason at around 2 a.m. inside a dormitory belonging to a vegetable and fruit-packing factory in Mersin's Erdemli district. The fire grew and 25-year-old Murat Bulut, 27-year-old Mücahit Ünal and 18-year-old Umut Gönül lost their lives. Six other workers inhaled smoke and were taken to a nearby hospital by an ambulance. The six were later released after receiving treatment at the hospital.
Fire fighters who were dispatched to the scene by the Mersin Metropolitan Municipality experienced difficultly in extinguishing the fire. An investigation has been launched into the incident in order to identify the cause of the fire.
