Reuters: Firefighters battle blazes in Turkey, Greece and Albania!

The Reuters news agency has provided a report on the fire situation in the Mediterranean region, focusing particularly on the fight against the flames in Turkey, Greece and Albania.

Reuters writes that in Albania, over 900 firefighters assisted by the army fought to control a wildfire before it reached the coastal city of Saranda and other tourist resorts in the south of the country on the Ionian coast.

The article notes that around 13 people have been arrested for arson-related offenses in the last three days, police said. 

Reuters also writes that in the northwestern province of Bursa, three firefighters died on Sunday when their vehicle crashed, Turkey's Forestry Ministry said on Monday.

The article said crews battled two separate fires there on Monday, after evacuating more than 3,600 people from settlements in the southern provinces of Mersin and Antalya.

The international news agency added that Turkey has suffered from dozens of fires in recent weeks as temperatures have risen sharply, and 10 firefighters lost their lives last week fighting a blaze in the central province of Eskisehir.

Reuters reports that at least 44 wildfires have broken out in Greece in the past 24 hours. According to the article, on the southern Greek island of Kythera, strong winds reignited a fire that had been burning since Saturday.

Reuters adds that in Athens, firefighters quickly controlled a fire that broke out at the foot of Mount Hymettus, near a university campus and densely populated suburbs.

Firefighters battled on Monday to extinguish fires in three separate provinces of Turkey, in Greece and near a tourist resort in Albania, fanned by strong winds after days of scorching heat across the Mediterranean region.

Smoke billowed over the mountainous Black Sea province of Karabuk, 200 kilometers (125 miles) north of the capital Ankara, as a huge fire raging for a sixth day forced the evacuation of more than a dozen villages and scorched large swaths of forest.

In the northwestern province of Bursa, three firefighters lost their lives on Sunday when their vehicle crashed, Turkey's Forestry Ministry said on Monday.

Crews battled two separate fires there on Monday, following the evacuation of more than 3,600 people from settlements in the southern provinces of Mersin and Antalya.

Turkey has suffered from dozens of fires in recent weeks as temperatures have risen sharply, and 10 firefighters lost their lives last week fighting a blaze in the central province of Eskisehir.

Hot, dry summers are common in the Mediterranean region, but more intense heat waves have contributed to devastating fires in recent years amid rapidly rising temperatures across the globe.

At least 44 fires broke out in Greece in the last 24 hours, the fire brigade said on Monday afternoon.

On the southern Greek island of Kythera, strong winds reignited a fire that had been burning since Saturday.

In Athens, firefighters quickly brought a blaze under control at the foot of Mount Hymettus, near a university campus and densely populated suburbs.

In Albania, more than 900 firefighters, aided by the army, battled to control a wildfire before it reached the coastal city of Saranda and other tourist resorts in the south of the country on the Ionian coast.

Some 13 people have been arrested for arson-related crimes in the past three days, police said. Bulgaria, assisted by several European countries, deployed firefighting aircraft to help extinguish a large fire near the Bulgarian-Turkish border.

So far, the fires have burned about 16,000 hectares in total. Two people have been detained by authorities investigating the cause of the fires, according to local media.

Over the weekend, several villages in Greece were evacuated and five people were injured in separate fires.

As Greece weathered its third wave of summer heat on Monday, rainy weather in Serbia helped firefighters there bring more than 100 fires under control./ Reuters
