A fire broke out in the forest area between Kalenderköy and Kayrak villages today in the evening hours.

While it is not known how and why the fire broke out, it grew in a short time due to the wind.

After the fire broke out, fire trucks and firefighters were dispatched to the area.

Vehicles from Kozlukebir Municipality, vehicles from Komotini Fire Brigade Directorate, vehicles from neighbouring municipalities and fire brigade personnel participated in the ground operations.

While a large number of vehicles and fire brigade personnel intervened in the fire from the ground, two fire extinguishing helicopters and three aircrafts intervened from the air.

The intensive extinguishing efforts slowed down the speed of the fire, albeit slightly. The work continues uninterruptedly from land and air.
