Forest Fires in Antalya, Adana and Mersin

We are responding to four separate forest fires in Antalya, Adana and Mersin.

Efforts to control the fires that broke out in two separate points in Antalya's Aksu district and Adana's Kozan district and in Mersin's Bozyazı district continue.

Here are the latest developments from forest fire regions…

Villagers also support the efforts to extinguish the fire.

In the Kızıllı District, where announcements were made to evacuate last night, an announcement was made from the mosque in the morning that "Water will be carried for the fire pool". Thereupon, dozens of neighborhood residents carried water with their tractors to the water pool filled with water by helicopters and water trucks.

The villagers took turns pouring the water into the pool and returned to the village to refill their tankers.

The forest fires, which broke out at two points in Adana's Kozan district, are being tried to be taken under control by air and land intervention.

A forest fire broke out in the rural area of ​​Doğanalanı District for an unknown reason.

While three planes, 9 helicopters, two UAVs, one TOMA, 55 water tankers, 14 water tankers and many vehicles and 476 personnel continued to respond to the fire, 40 houses were evacuated.
