Ban on visiting forests and parks extended to 42 provinces

Due to the increased fire hazard, a ban on visiting forests and parks has been imposed in 42 provinces of Turkey. Many provinces of the country are ignited by the dry and hot weather and, unfortunately, by the careless behaviour of the people themselves. The fire in Kusadasi destroyed 500 hectares of forest. It is terrible to imagine how many animals died in the fire. With the use of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, firefighters struggled to control the fire. Fire brigades are working in a reinforced mode due to the emergence of new fires in various regions of the country.
