Meanwhile, in Antalya, Turkey: Residents of four neighbourhoods were evacuated as Manavgat’s streets were engulfed in flames and smoke. At least 500 people lost their homes to the flames while dozens of hectares of forest cover were burnt. Fire spread to the town after being fanned by strong winds through Thursday, but no casualties were reported. The government's Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency said around 70 people were 'affected' by the fire in the Mediterranean coastal town, but did not provide details. Footage showed streets being engulfed in smoke and flames, spreading as far as the town centre. Plumes of black smoke were seen rising from the surrounding forest, blocking out the sky. The flames have so far destroyed dozens of hectares of forest cover as well as several buildings. Agriculture Minister Bekir Pakdemirli said authorities were battling the flames with a firefighting plane, 19 helicopters, 108 vehicles and 400 personnel, and that the fire was partially under control.
