Wildfires have engulfed swaths of western Turkey triggering the evacuation of nearly 4,000 residents, the disaster management agency said.
Helicopters and water bombers, which were grounded due to strong winds, were brought in to battle the blaze on Saturday in the resort city of Izmir on Turkey’s Aegean coast.
Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said 900 residents in five affected districts were evacuated overnight in Izmir, the country’s third-most populous city.
