The fire which broke out yesterday in the southern region of Alevkayası has been extinguished, and cooling efforts are still underway, Yeniduzen reports.
According to information provided by the police this morning, the fire began yesterday at approximately 1.30pm and was difficult to put out due to the rugged and steep terrain.
The fire was ultimately extinguished through the combined efforts of the Fire Brigade, Forestry Department, Civil Defence Organisation, and local municipalities. However, the blaze damaged maquis vegetation, dry grasses, and various trees across an area of around 25 acres.
