Man Hugs Cat After Tragic House Fire

When this 83-year-old man lost his home to a fire, he thought he had nothing left – but the most important thing survived.

The fire occurred on a Thursday. Ali Meşe lived in a village in western Turkey. After trying to light his gas stove inside, something went horribly wrong.

There was a small explosion in the living room, which cause the fire to spread through his single-story, wooden house.

Thanks to neighbors calling emergency services,  Ali Meşe, his wide, and his beautiful cat were rescued. The house, however, collapsed into a heap of wood and metal.
