A fire broke out in the agricultural area near the ancient city of Stratonikia in the Yatağan district of Muğla.
INTERVENTION FROM AIR AND LAND
Upon receiving the fire report, firefighting and Muğla Forest Regional Directorate fire extinguishing teams were dispatched to the area. The teams extinguished the flames with their interventions from the air and land.
HE CAME TO THE FIRE SITE WITH HIS STICK
Durmuş Tandır, a 94-year-old man with hearing and speech difficulties, who has lived within the borders of the ancient city of Stratonikia for nearly a century, came to the fire area to see his gardens.
HE WAS BARELY CONVINCED
The elderly man, who wanted to go to his garden that he thought was burning, was barely convinced by the warnings of those around him that his gardens were not damaged and was taken away from the fire area.
Tandır, who stated that he has lived here for 94 years, said, "Everything is burned, I had my gardens here."
