Fire at Turkish Ski Resort Hotel Claims 10 Lives, Injures 32

Ankara, Tuesday : A fire at a Ski Resort Hotel overnight killed at least 10 people and injured 32 others in North Western Turkey, authorities stated.

The blaze began on the restaurant floor of the hotel at Bolu’s Kartalkaya ski resort at around 3:30 a.m. (0030 GMT), Bolu Governor Abdulaziz Aydin told state broadcaster TRT.

He said there were 234 guests at the Grand Kartal Hotel, which has a broad wooden exterior.

The fire comes at the beginning of a nationwide two-week school holiday, a time when skiers from nearby Istanbul and Ankara usually head to the Bolu mountains.

TV footage showed several fire engines surrounding the charred hotel at the base of the ski slopes, with white bed sheets tied together and dangling from one upper-floor window. Agencies
