The air conditioner in the classroom full of students caught fire

Citizens had a hard time due to the sudden heat throughout Türkiye. While “Do not go out” warnings were made for the elderly, children and chronically ill people, those who were overwhelmed threw themselves at the beach and parks. Antalya Meteorology 4th Regional Director Ayşe Gemici stated that temperatures 6 to 10 degrees above seasonal norms will continue until the beginning of the week.

ANTALYA WAS ROASTED BY THE HEAT

The city hit hardest by the heat was by far Antalya. In the measurements made yesterday in the city, the record temperature for June 2017 was renewed in Muratpaşa with a temperature of 44.8 degrees. The temperature of 45.1 degrees was measured for the first time at the station in Kepez district. The highest temperature in the city was recorded as 46.2 degrees in Kaş.

THE AIR CONDITIONER IN THE CLASSROOM STARTED ON FIRE

The indoor unit of the air conditioner at Antalya Vocational Technical and Anatolian High School burned due to heat. As the flames quickly grew, smoke filled the classroom. Although some students tried to fight the fire by climbing on the desks, they were unsuccessful. At that moment, there was a short-term panic among the students.
