Sofa Fire to Salvage Metal Destroys 10 Acres of Wheat Field

A fire ignited to salvage metal from a sofa has devastated a 10-acre wheat field in Turkey's Bolu province. The incident occurred in the Seyit neighborhood when unidentified individuals set fire to a discarded sofa in a vacant lot, intending to extract its metal frame.

Fueled by strong winds, the flames rapidly spread from the sofa to surrounding dry grass. The fire then engulfed the adjacent wheat field, sending thick plumes of smoke into the air. Nearby residents, noticing the smoke and flames, alerted emergency services.

Firefighters responded swiftly and managed to control the blaze, preventing it from spreading to other fields. However, the wheat crop was completely destroyed. Police have launched an investigation to identify those responsible for starting the fire. One witness, Saniye Gül, who was working in a nearby field, expressed her dismay, stating that if it were her field, she would demand full compensation from those responsible.
