Two children and their aunt have died in a fire in their home in Bursa’s Sırameşeler neighborhood. 
Serhat and Selma Taşçı were rescued by firefighters, but their daughters Zeynep (7) and Nazlı (4), as well as the father’s younger sister, Ecem Taşçı (18), died after they became trapped in the home, Anatolia news agency reported.

Fire crews extinguished the fire within 30 minutes. According to initial assessments, the fire may have been caused due to the explosion of an LPG tube due to a leak. 

The Taşçı family was said to be devastated after learning of the death of their daughters. An investigation has been launched into the incident.
