A fire broke out on the trailer of a truck carrying several cars at the Gürbulak truck park in Doğubayazıt, in Turkey’s Ağrı province.

Firefighters were sent to the area after people nearby reported the blaze. Dense smoke surrounded the vehicles on the truck’s two-level transport section as crews began their response.

Because the cars were parked close together, firefighters worked to prevent the flames from spreading to the other vehicles. People at the scene were also seen helping crews carry hoses.

The fire was brought under control and fully extinguished. An investigation began to determine how it started and whether the cars on the truck were damaged.
