Burning Turkey: Terrible wild fire at 60 places, 4 killed

Turkey is burning. People are constantly posting horrifying pictures and videos on social media with the hashtags 'Turkey Is Burning' and 'Pray For Turkey' regarding the fire of this country famous for tourism. According to social media, forest fires have broken out in 60 places in 30 districts of Turkey. So far 4 people have died due to this terrible wild fire. Thousands of people and tourists have been moved to safer places.

The entire Turkish sky is covered with smoke from the smoke from the forest fires. Firefighters are continuously trying to put out the fire at 20 locations in 6 provinces. The area and southern part of Turkey adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea are more affected by the fire. In the last 24 hours, due to strong winds, the fire spread to 40 more places, which the local people and the administration are trying to extinguish.

Agriculture and Forest Minister Bekir Pakdemirli said that it would be foolish to say right now that we have brought the fire under control. But our people and firefighters are facing this calamity with relentless bravery. Wherever he is getting a chance, he is trying to put out the fire. Or to stop it.

The worst fires have spread in the Managat and Akeski areas of Antalya province. An 82-year-old man and a couple died in this fire. On Thursday, a 25-year-old volunteer caught fire in the Marmaris area, some 320 km from Antalya province. Due to which he died. This volunteer was feeding the firefighters by bringing water from his house. Then he was hit by a motorcycle and he fell into the burning forest.

When the holiday homes and hotels felt threatened by the forest fire on the mountain in the Marmaris area, all of them were evacuated from the tourists. More than 50 people are admitted in hospitals. Dozens of people are leaving their homes and living in the open. More than 25 villages have been evacuated in these two areas.

From hotels and resorts located on the banks of the mountains at all tourist places, tourists are being transported in boats to safe areas by sea route. The Turkish government said that those who are responsible for setting this fire will not be spared. This is a kind of attack against nature and humanity.

Earlier in the summer, there was a fire in the forests of Turkey. Then the Turkish government blamed the Kurdish terrorists behind this fire. At present, this order has been implemented in all the states of Turkey that no person will go towards the forests at this time. Because there is a danger of burning it, at the same time, rioters can further inflame the fire in the forests.

Many villages have been burnt by this fire in Turkey. Cars and cattle of people have been burnt. Many animals are getting burnt. They are being sent to a veterinary hospital or clinic for immediate treatment. Some firefighters are doing first aid to burnt animals on the spot. But the sight is so frightening, seeing it, people's soul is trembling.

Manavgat Mayor Sukru Sojen, 75 km from the resort city of Antalya, said forest fires had engulfed all sides. The area just on the sea side is safe. The fire has kept its hold till the town centre. It is difficult to estimate the damage done in this area at this time. We have never seen such a terrible sight in our life till date.

At present, 3 firefighting aircraft, 38 helicopters, 108 firefighting vehicles and more than 4000 firefighters are engaged to extinguish the fire in Turkey's forests. Turkey's AFAD disaster agency has said that all states and cities that have been hit by the fire have been warned to take precautions. Along with this, an appeal has also been made to stay safe.

Some people believe that the fire started from Antalya province itself. Because it is very hot here. This place is situated between hilly forests and sea beaches. Every year lakhs of domestic and foreign tourists visit this beautiful place. Some environmentalists believe that the reason for this fire may also be high heat. \

Turkey is constantly falling prey to extreme weather. Earlier this month, flash floods occurred in Rize and Artvin provinces on the Black Sea coast. Due to which hundreds of houses and public properties have been damaged. About 6 people died in this flood.

Neighboring Lebanon has also been affected by the Turkish fire. Here also 25 fire engines and four Air Force helicopters are engaged in extinguishing the forest fire. The Lebanese Red Cross has rescued 17 people from wildfires, in addition to treating 30. Out of which 8 people are hospitalized. 500 acres of pine and oak forests have been destroyed in Lebanon.

Of the 63 wild fires in Turkey, 43 are also being claimed to be controlled. But the deadly fire is still burning at 20 places. Efforts are on to douse the rest of the fire. But it is taking time to get success due to strong winds. World leaders and heads of state are ready to help Turkey at this time. Also expressing condolences in this disaster.

A post has been posted on the social media site Twitter with a Twitter handle named Remarks @Fab4cricket, in which it is being said that drones have been set on fire in the forests of Turkey. One would be surprised to think whose job this is... I doubt the illegal government of America and Israel.
