Heartbreaking image from Manisa! All that’s left of the greenery is a forest turned to ashes

Air and land intervention continues to combat the forest fires that started in Gördes district of Manisa and reached Salihli and Gölmarmara districts. The forest fire that broke out in Boyalı Neighborhood on August 14 spread with the effect of the wind and reached Salihli district and Yunuslar Neighborhood of Gölmarmara district today.

THE FIGHT AGAINST THE FLAMES CONTINUES

Six planes, 14 helicopters, 46 water tenders, 14 water supply vehicles, 6 construction equipment and 6 first response ground teams are responding to the fire, which is effective in the Kale Neighborhood of Salihli, as well as in Gördes, and in the forested area near the Yunuslar Neighborhood of Gölmarmara. 450 personnel, including 45 technical staff, are working in the firefighting.

CITIZENS ALSO SUPPORT

The flames that have gained strength in the area between Kale and Hacıhıdır neighborhoods of Salihli continue their advance despite intensive intervention from the air and land. While the flames left trees and houses in their wake that were reduced to ashes, citizens are also supporting the teams’ difficult fight.

EVERYWHERE HAS TURNED TO ASHES

As the teams race against time, aerial images from the region revealed the seriousness of the situation. Areas that were lush green three days ago were seen to have been reduced to ashes.
