A mind-blowing event took place in Adana, and you will have difficulty in controlling your nerves as you learn the details. A citizen named Atilla Demir, who went to the scene with a fire extinguisher after passers-by said they were burning the forest, managed to catch a citizen who was trying to burn the forest. The citizen, who was detained by the law enforcement officers, made sentences that prove his apology is greater than his misdemeanor.
According to the information received, two brothers named Serdal and Cumali were earning their living by collecting scrap. They also went to the area where the fire started to collect scrap. A citizen named Serdal D., who started to wait for his brother Cumali to come among the rubble, decided that the environment was very polluted due to grasses. Thereupon, the scrap dealer, who started a fire with a lighter in his hand, stated that he did not think that the fire would spread to the forest area.
“Enough forests have burned this year”
Atilla Demir, who both caught the people who burned the forest and participated in the fire extinguishing efforts, said, “When I looked, Serdal D. was burning the grassland with a lighter in his hand. However, I did not see the other person. We intervened immediately and prevented further burning. I was very upset when I saw that the forest was burning enough this year. The forest has already burned.” Using the expressions, he explained the event he experienced.
Serdal D., one of the brothers taken into custody, used the following sentences in his statement: We are dealing with junk. On the day of the incident, we went to the lakeside to collect scrap. My brother Cumali landed on the rubble. I also have a lighter with me because I smoke. But I didn’t have a cigarette at that time. While I was waiting for my brother, I started to light the grass with a lighter so that the environment would be clean. The place where I burned it was 5 meters from the trees. However, after a while, the fire grew and spread to the trees. I tried to turn it off but I couldn’t. Then the firefighters arrived. My brother Cumali does not know that I burned the grassland. I didn’t think it would jump into the forest when the grassland was close, I regret it so much.
