Turkey on fire. A brief excursion into what happened

Kremlin relations

The beginning

Fires in Turkey began on 28 July.  The first outbreaks occurred in four regions of Turkey at once: Manavgat, Sorgun, Colakli and in the center of the resort of Side.  The fire was huge.  At the moment, the fire has been localized.  Due to the large amount of smoke from the fires, the sky was clouded with smoke.  The daytime sky seemed to be sunset for a while.  Since the fires were in the distant corners of the hotels, tourists did not have to be evacuated.

The next day

The next day, fire opened in Marmaris and Bodrum.  Both fires were extinguished the same night.  In order to avoid casualties, guests were evacuated from the Titanik Deluve Bodrum 5* hotel. At the moment, all hotel guests have returned to their rooms. Nothing threatens their life and health.

3 planes, 9 drones, 1 unmanned helicopter, 38 helicopters, 680 fire engines and 55 units of other equipment were involved in the fight against the elements.  More than four thousand firefighters are involved in the localization of the fire.

Situation today

Some publications in a panic began to provide false information.  They reported that Antwlia was on fire.  According to our data, tourists in Antalya, Kemer, Belek and Albania are not in danger.

According to the Russian Embassy in Turkey, none of the citizens applied to the consulate for medical assistance.

During the fire, 3 Turkish citizens died, 138 were injured.
