Türkiye - August 11, 2025 Saros Körfezi, Turkey – A video recorded by Rıza Kayan shows an intense wildfire raging in the Saros Bay area, with thick smoke and fierce flames engulfing a forest, captured from above. This fire is one of more than 60 wildfires reported across Turkey in the past 24 hours. A severe heatwave combined with strong winds has worsened the situation, leading to evacuations and significant environmental damage. The fire in the Enez district is especially dangerous, threatening nearby residential areas. Emergency teams, including helicopters and ground crews, are working urgently to control the blaze. Officials warn that dry conditions and extreme temperatures—effects linked to climate change—are creating ideal circumstances for such destructive fires. The wildfire’s closeness to Saros Bay raises concerns about lasting harm to biodiversity and water quality in the region. Rıza Kayan said in Turkish, “Saros Bay is burning, Enez is burning. Are they giving medals to those who start these fires that there are so many happening?”
