Efforts to control the forest fire that broke out yesterday in the Taraklı district of Sakarya continue with aerial and ground interventions.

AK PARTY DEPUTY KAYA DESCRIBES THE LATEST SITUATION
In statements to Haberler.com, AK Party Sakarya Deputy Murat Kaya noted that the teams are making great efforts to extinguish the fire and that the work is ongoing without interruption. Kaya mentioned that the area is large and sloped, consisting of agricultural land and pine trees, and that the flames have spread due to the wind.
"TEAMS CONTINUE TO INTERVENE"
Kaya stated: "All teams of Sakarya Metropolitan Municipality are here. Our district municipalities are providing support. I saw the tankers of Adapazarı Municipality. Night vision helicopters continue to intervene. Those without night vision start early in the morning."
"SPREADING QUICKLY DUE TO PINE TREES"
Since the area is very large, I cannot say that it is fully under control. We evacuated a few villages as a precaution. We evacuated the villages of Aydınlar and Şehren. The intervention continues. A command center has been established in Geyve. Our Minister made a press statement in Bilecik and is coming here. The teams are working desperately. The terrain is sloped. It is agricultural land, and most of the area is pine land. It is spreading quickly due to the pine trees. There is still wind at this hour. The intervention continues without interruption with all teams."
