Historically, the tradition of using regional materials varied across different geographies. In northern Anatolia, buildings were predominantly constructed using wooden. Preserving wooden structures as cultural heritage is crucial, necessitating precautions against fire risks. The paper aims to assess fire risks in historic wooden buildings and develop recommendations for risk mitigations. To aim this, Göğceli Mosque, maintaining its original features amidst a declining number of historic wooden mosques, was selected. On-site observations and risk matrix methods were employed to identify fire risks, while total evacuation time was calculated by simulation. Findings highlighted fire hazards such as exposed electrical equipment and high fire loads, alongside challenges in escape route alternatives, increasing evacuation times. Strategies to mitigate identified risks were developed, emphasizing the applicability of performance-based solutions thorough risk analysis methods.
