While the Turkish nation feels the pain of the forests burning in every corner of the country in their hearts, the solidarity and spirit of unity of the Turkish people during the firefighting efforts made everyone say, "No one can bring us down." This image reminded many of the truck driver who rushed to help the people in the region on the slippery roads during the earthquakes on February 6th.
The forest fire that broke out in the Harmancık district of Bursa was also a scene of great dedication and sacrifice. In addition to the significant efforts of the forest teams and firefighters, farmers who heard about the fire and tried to transport water with their trailers did not go unnoticed. The moments when a farmer, whose trailer had 'Balıkesir' written on it, carried water to the fire despite having a flat tire on his wheel gained great attention on social media under the title "The incredible solidarity of the Turkish people."
GREAT SACRIFICE
