During one of the hottest days in Istanbul, the electric cables on an electricity pole in Şerifali Neigborhood, Kale Sokak, Ümraniye, couldn't withstand the high temperatures and caught fire. Alerted by the situation, local residents intervened using a fire extinguisher. As a result of the fire, the electric cables broke and fell onto the road.
Fortunately, there were no passersby at that moment, which prevented a potential disaster.
A witness to the incident stated, "I was inside when suddenly I heard a flash and loud noises. Then I saw that the cables had snapped and were engulfed in flames. We shouted for people to stay away. After that, we used a fire extinguisher to control the fire, and then we called 186."
