A wind-fueled wildfire forced hundreds of people to leave their homes in Turkey as firefighters worked to control the flames. The fire started on Monday evening in Antalya’s Aksu district and quickly spread to the neighboring Kepez district due to strong winds, according to Anadolu Agency. The blaze caused injuries to two people, who were hospitalized with leg injuries, and six others who were treated on-site for smoke inhalation. Authorities evacuated residents from at least 254 homes in Aksu and Kepez and temporarily closed a major highway connecting Antalya to Isparta, about 130 kilometers (80 miles) north. More than 100 dogs were also evacuated from an animal shelter in Aksu and relocated to a safer location, according to Antalya Municipality. Video footage showed veterinarians treating a dog that had been affected by the smoke. In addition, over 2,000 homes in the region experienced power outages, adding to the challenges faced by local residents. To combat the fire, authorities deployed more than five firefighting aircraft, 10 helicopters, 110 fire extinguishing trucks, and approximately 600 personnel. The effort reflects the scale of the emergency, as the fire posed a significant threat to both people and property. Firefighters were also working to contain wildfires in nearby provinces of Adana and Mersin, indicating that the situation extended beyond the immediate area of the original blaze.
