The situation in the Turkish resort of Marmaris made me remember last year’s nightmares. The fire of the forest fires is again reaching the resort areas, it is known that one hotel and private villas were affected by the fire. According to the Turkish media, a vocational school for tourism specialists was also hit by the elements.
According to the Turkish press, the fire broke out in the forest area of Icmeler Turunch. Due to the strong wind, the fire, which quickly became a wildfire, grew rapidly, the flames spread to private villas and the Paktyka hotel, and a vocational school for tourism specialists also caught fire. According to some sources, several hotels have already been hit and are being evacuated.
A huge group is fighting the fire: as many as 5 airplanes, 10 helicopters, 34 fire boats, and more than 150 units of land equipment. There is currently no official information about the victims and evacuation.
At the same time, some media emphasize that the fires started almost on the anniversary of the previous ones. And they see this as a subversive trail.
