Agricultural Equipment Destroyed
The incident occurred in a barn in Açıkyazı village, Ardahan, starting from an unknown cause. The flames quickly spread, damaging valuable agricultural equipment stored inside. As a result of the fire, the following were rendered unusable:

Villagers Act as One to Control the Blaze
Facing the rapid spread of the fire, the villagers did not panic but quickly mobilized before the fire department arrived. The swift and organized intervention of the locals prevented the fire from spreading outside the barn to nearby houses or other buildings.
The villagers' fight against the flames using their own means averted a greater disaster.
Upon the arrival of the fire crews, the blaze was completely brought under control and extinguished.
