A wildfire that broke out on July 2nd in a rural area of Ildir, Türkiye has spread to nearby forested land and continues to burn. Strong winds have fuelled the blaze, causing it to intensify and approach residential areas near the Urla district border.

Forest fire fighting teams are battling the flames with a large-scale response, including 6 planes, 19 helicopters, 39 water tenders, 14 water supply vehicles, and 4 bulldozers. Due to the advancing fire, two neighborhoods in Cesme and one in Urla were evacuated as a precaution.

The fire has caused damage to several homes in the affected areas. The Izmir-Cesme highway was closed to traffic for safety reasons, and transportation is currently being rerouted via the Izmir-Cesme motorway.
