In Brief

Two caravan fires occurred in Turkey: in Demre, flames destroyed two parked caravans, while in Katrancı Bay about 60 tents and caravans were damaged

Two caravan fire incidents have been reported in Turkey. In the Demre district (Antalya), a fire started in a parked caravan on the coast and spread to a neighboring one. Firefighters extinguished the flames, but both caravans were completely burned and cannot be restored. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

In Katrancı Bay in the Fethiye district, a fire that began in one caravan spread to other caravans and tents. The fire was contained within 1.5 hours, preventing it from reaching a pine forest. Preliminary reports indicate damage to 3 decares of forest and about 60 tents and caravans.
