A fire broke out in a marshy area near Ada Yüzü in Boğazkent, within Antalya’s Serik district. Residents saw smoke rising from the area and alerted Turkey’s 112 emergency call center.
The flames spread quickly with the wind. Firefighters tackled the blaze from the ground and worked to stop it from reaching nearby dry grass and other marshland. Serik municipal teams supported the operation with heavy machinery.
The crews brought the fire under control and extinguished it in a short time. They then carried out cooling work at the site. About three decares of marshland were damaged, and an investigation began to determine the cause of the fire.
