Many fire trucks and fire fighters were sent to the scene to put out the fire. No injures have been reported but financial loss is expected.

Kuyumcukent is a jewellery production center with marketing and sales functions, which is visited by many Turkish and Middle Eastern shoppers for their jewellery needs before marriage ceremonies.
