“With our first response, there was an intense fight. We take advantage of all technological opportunities. Our greatest treasure is of course our human resource and our valuable forestry organization, but I would like to remind you again regarding the machinery and equipment that we have used, 166 sprinklers, 15 bulldozers, 700 workers and 3 separately. We used the company’s UAVs last night.
The fire in Hatay was controlled.
The burned areas will be forested again after the clean-up work.
The good news is that we have no victims, but as we always say, it’s not just trees burning in forests. In forests, wildlife-related situations can arise that cannot be repaired or can be repaired in a very long time.
5 houses and 1 mosque in Akarca district, 2 houses and a corral in Sarıseki district, 3 houses and 1 corral in Azganlı district were affected.
