Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

Just seen a video of a big fire in the centre of Icmeler. Where was this?Was anyone hurt. Sooooo sad.

where did you see this video
holly

Where did you see the video. Checked all the usual news outlets and can not find any reports on this. Hope no one was hurt in this

Just looked on Marmaris tv. It was a 3 story building which seemed to be sitting on its own.Shop below it burnt out but the residents are seen removing their posessions from the house upstairs. Cant place the building.

Wasn't this posted in 2007 ??????

Yes the utube video was but this fire was last night in Icmeler.

Sorry folkes but I deleted the posts

People are suffering here and I hope I did not upset anyone by deleting but I could have done a video and put online myself

Hey come on if you have a fire at home in the UK (God forbid) would you like to see it here on the world wide web

Sounds to me that people are just showing their concern and interested to know where the fire is.

No we wouldn,t like our problems broadcast JT, but i,m sure we send all our good wishes to those affected.

I will pass on everyones best wishes to the family who have lost everything.

The man was burned on his hands in the fire trying to control it.

The water wagon that goes around Icmeler watering the grass was the first to turn up to the fire but the man driving didn't know how to open the valve to get the water out, Mehmet Can from Majestic ran to the vehicle and did it himself but it ran out of water so was no use.

By the time the fire engine turned up the fire was well out of control so its all gone

poor guy, at least they are safe, What building was it?

Sounds as if it could have been a lot worse - thoughts go out to those involved though.

If you walk behind Alins restaurant and keep going till you get to the greengrocers, it was the upholsterey place facing it.

Mehmet Can also burned his hands helping out

Such a shame, hope everyone is ok.

When did this happen guys?

Sorry if I upset anyone by showing my concern, but it was a friend in Icmeler that posted the video on his facebook. All I asked was where it was and that if anyone had been hurt. I , as many others, have a lot of friends in Icmeler and we see it as our second home. If I had known this was going to cause upset then I wouldnt have asked.

Hi fifegirl,
I don't think you did anything wrong at all. I too was concerned when I heard the news and wanted more information as like you we have many friends in paradise. I can however understand that John's position is a difficult one. He has to try and balance the feelings of those involved by this tragedy, those of us who are genuinely concerned, and the ghouls who feed on other peoples misery. So don't beat yourself up and thank's for the original heads up.

Hope everyone who was involved in this is ok, and well done to Memhet Can for all the asistance he gave. Heartfelt wishes to the family involved.

Such a shame and I hope everyone involved is safe and well.

Had a bit of a panic attack when I read this. I looked at marmaris tv and translated the article about the fire. It said it was in Gazi Ekrem Caddesi which is the road our apartment is in. Thanks to JT for pin-pointing the specific location. As it happens the upholsterer shop as quite a distance from our place. Panic over !!!! Thanks again.

Thanks for that David but I really thought that was directed at me. I would never had known about it if a friend in Icmeler hadnt put it on his facebook page. In future I will keep my thoughts and comments to myself. Take care
