Kusadasi forest fire spreads: settlements under threat
In addition to official authorities, non-governmental organisations and volunteer citizens have also stepped in to put out the flames approaching the settlement. Meanwhile, various construction companies operating in and around Kusadasi are using their work machines to assist the firefighters who have been working for hours. Meanwhile, night vision helicopters continue to help put out the fire after conducting an aerial search.
In addition to AFAD, UMKE, the Red Crescent and various institutions, Aydın Metropolitan Municipality, Kuşadası City and Kuşadası merchants are distributing pita bread, ayran and cold water to the teams taking part in the firefighting efforts.
Some communities in the region have been evacuated due to the fire danger, although the fire is a life-threatening situation that at times poses dangerous moments.
