Turkey manages 110 wildfires
Turkish authorities reported that emergency teams have gained control of 110 out of 115 major wildfires that broke out across various parts of the country, including popular tourist areas such as Antalya and the Dardanelles Strait. The Minister of Agriculture and Forestry explained that the fire in the Fethiye region, which was spread by the wind, was responded to quickly and brought under control, with approximately 200 people, including patients, evacuated from local hospitals. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan also announced that on Wednesday, there were 90 fire hotspots across Turkey, involving the use of more than 20 aircraft, 58 helicopters, and 420 firefighting trucks. While the forest fires in 2025 were ahead of schedule due to a wave of drought, current rainfall is helping to combat the fires.
