Catastrophic fires in Turkey: Most forest fires in southern part under control

They have been brought under control most forest fires in Turkey, which killed 4 people and led to the evacuation of dozens of villages, became known today by the authorities of the country.

“57 of the 71 fires across the country have been brought under control,” Agriculture Minister Bekir Pakdemirli said today.

Firefighters, who broke out Wednesday in the forests of Manavgat, Alanya, Adana, Mersin, Bodrum and Marmaris, near tourist resorts in southern Turkey, quickly reached residential areas due to strong winds.

The fires killed 4 people and injured almost 200.

Dozens of houses, crops and stables in many villages were reduced to ashes.

“There was a power outage at night. We could not sleep due to stress. “We woke up with a rain of ashes,” Gulin Dente Tekin, who was forced to leave his hotel, which was threatened by the flames, in Marmaris, told a French Agency reporter.
