Turkey has been hit by forest fires. In Fethiye, flames spread rapidly amid abnormal heat and drought, which significantly complicated the work of firefighters. Rescue teams in the affected areas are doing everything possible to contain the spread of the fire and protect residential areas and resort zones, the Telegram channel \u201cMIR24\u201d reported.
\nThe fires are raging simultaneously in several provinces: Antalya, Mu\u011fla, and Afyonkarahisar. In the \u00c7aml\u0131ca area of Kepez district in Antalya, firefighting efforts are being carried out both from the ground and from the air: helicopters, firefighting aircraft, special equipment, and emergency response teams have been deployed. Due to the threat of the flames reaching residential neighborhoods, authorities are evacuating people from homes located in danger zones.
\nEarlier, the disaster caused damage to resort areas along the Aegean coast. In the village of Boz\u00fcy\u00fck, the fire had been approaching tourist infrastructure for several days. In place of dense pine forests, there is now scorched land, while a multi-kilometer trail of thick black smoke hangs over the area.
\nIn the Bodrum and Didim districts, the fire destroyed 850 hectares of forest. A total of 1,120 people had to be evacuated from the risk zone. Tourists were advised to remain vigilant and strictly follow the instructions of rescue services.
\nThe situation is also alarming in other countries. Tens of thousands of hectares of forest have burned in Spain. Fires continue to rage in France as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
