As the hot weather continues, reports of fires are still coming in from all over the country. While Turkey's lungs are burning, the teams are desperately intervening in the flames. Most recently, the firefighting efforts for the forest fires that started yesterday in Hatay and Mersin resumed with the first light of the morning on the second day.
MERSIN SURRENDERS TO THE FLAMES
In Mersin, a fire that broke out around 12:45 yesterday near the Kırtıl Hill Observation Tower between the neighborhoods of Çaltı (Çamlıca), Baslandız, and Kırtıl spread to the forest. Upon notification, firefighting helicopters, along with teams from the Forest Management Directorate and the Mersin Metropolitan Municipality Fire Department, were dispatched to the area. The teams made intense efforts throughout the day to control the fire from the air and the ground.
LOCAL RESIDENTS PROVIDED SUPPORT WITH TRACTORS
While efforts to control the fire, which was also supported by local residents with their tractors, continued throughout the night, the neighborhoods of Kırtıl, İmamuşağı, and Balandız were evacuated. Throughout the night, 122 vehicles, including 46 water tankers, supported the firefighting efforts, which continued until morning. In some areas, the flames began to spread and threaten different settlements due to the wind's effect. It was reported that some structures in Kırtıl neighborhood were also damaged by the fire, which reached a cement factory located in Akdere neighborhood.
TEAMS WERE CAUGHT AMONG THE FLAMES
As dawn broke, the teams' interventions from both the air and the ground continued intensely, and images of the dangerous moments experienced during the night emerged. Some of the teams, who fought against the fire throughout the night to prevent it from spreading further, had to pass through the flames. Those moments were captured second by second on a mobile phone camera.
THEY RESTED BY LYING ON THE ROAD
Meanwhile, some forest teams, who became exhausted during the night, rested by lying on the road. The photo of that moment drew attention.
