The fight against forest fires in Kavaklıdere, Milas and Ortaca districts of Muğla continues. As of the latest situation, no official statement has been made that the fires are completely under control. The General Directorate of Forestry and fire brigades continue their activities intensively to prevent the spread of flames.
The first flames broke out in Kurucova District of Kavaklıdere district. While the teams' intervention in the region continued, around 17:00, reports of flames came from Milas' Gürçamlar District Kazıklı-Bozbük location and Ortaca district Gölbaşı location. Thus, the fight against simultaneous fires began in three different points of Muğla.
Especially in the fire in Milas district, the flames spread to a wide forest area in a short time due to the effect of strong wind. In Ortaca and Kavaklıdere, wind stood out as one of the most important factors that made extinguishing activities difficult.
Following fire reports, many teams were dispatched to the regions under the coordination of Muğla Regional Directorate of Forestry. While the flames are intervened from the land with water trucks, fire trucks and work machines, support is provided from the air with flame extinguishing helicopters and planes.
The activities of the teams continue uninterruptedly in order to prevent fires from spreading to residential areas and to minimize damage to forested areas. While the authorities called on citizens not to approach the areas of flames and to follow the statements to be made by official institutions, it was reported that activities to control the fires were continuing.
