INFORMATION TO BE GIVEN ABOUT REASON OF THE FIRE IN HAYDARPASA TRAIN STATION AFTER REPORT OF FIRE

Governor Mutlu told reporters that the blazes mostly damaged roof of the train station, and noted that the fire was taken under control totally thanks to the rapid intervention of the fireboats from the sea.
"The fire has been put under control, there are no casualties," Mutlu said.
Separately, Transportation Ministry Deputy Undersecretary Talat Aydin said train trips which were halted in Haydarpasa because of the fire could resume soon.
Aydin said the fire may have erupted because of the isolation works carried out on the roof of the train station. He said the fire did not spread ground floor and the roof did not collapse.
"We think that the destruction on the roof is not much. We got off this danger slightly. We are grateful for the efforts of Coastal Safety Directorate," he said.
Aydin denied suspicions for arson attack, and noted that necessary investigation would be carried out against the fire.
