Who is the main witness to the disaster? Saliha kutukIn his statement taken at the Gaziantep Police Homicide Office the same day, he explained his experiences as follows.
First the smell of smoke: At 4 in the morning I was there to collect the blood of patient number 16. I smelled fire. I closed the window thinking it came from outside. I noticed that the smell did not disappear and was coming from within. I saw smoke coming out of the oxygen system of bed number 18. The smoke was not thick, it came out slowly. The patient had a high-current device on his left and a ventilator on his right. The patient was not connected to the device. He was taking oxygen with his CPAP device.
The water tank has burst: When I saw the smoke coming out, I thought about moving the patient by pulling the plugs. The water chamber of the high current device exploded when I tried to disconnect the plug. I immediately ran to Nurse Davut Sal in the first ward. I was panicky and scared.
The fireball engulfed the room: When we went to the room with the raft, there was smoke from the device. The fire came down from the panel to which the device is connected. The device exploded and burned. He was trying to shoot patient number 18. With fire, the device turned into a fireball. Suddenly, the oxygen died. Fire filled the room.
I love it: Sal cut off the oxygen. The patients were upset by the smoke and fire. It also impressed me. I collapsed in front of intensive care. I was conscious, but I lost mobility. The nurses helped me. We pick up patients in 45 minutes.
Another witness is the 28-year-old nurse. David Sal‘was. He had been in the hospital for five years.
ShallAccording to him, the fire had come out of the high current therapy device.
The fire spread to the ceiling: I saw the high-current device to the right of Kahraman Taş catch fire. We tried to remove the bed from the fire. A large flame rose from the device towards the ceiling. I asked the radio for help. Because the fire got bigger and the room filled with smoke. The stone was still on the bed. The fire had spread to the ceiling. It was getting bigger. I yelled ‘There is fire’ in the hall. The reason for the screaming was to get the patients out of the rooms. It was to make my voice heard to friends in other intensive care units.
The patient left alone: I returned to the COVID-19 unit. Inside was smoke. Nothing was visible. Nurse Kütük removed two patients. One of them got out on his own. I could not get in.
They also gave me oxygen: We put the patient lying in VIP room 2 in a wheelchair and took out the accompanying son. I opened the windows of the VIP rooms. I tried to stick my head out the window and get some fresh air. Call the police. The firefighters came. I vomited 3-4 times from the smoke. I couldn’t take it anymore and lost my balance. My friend pulled me out taking my arm. They gave me oxygen.
The high-current device that started the fire was sold by a company called ASZ Medikal, based in Hatay. The phones of this company did not appear until yesterday.
From what I heard from medical manufacturers, this device was imported from China Shenygamg RMS Medical Tech.
It is claimed that there were malfunctions caused by this device in the past.
Experts note that the device is used to deliver high-flow humidified oxygen to patients who have not reached the intubation stage.
It is also claimed that the fire may have started due to the bedside oxygen system and the side-by-side electrical unit.
