Forests Scorsche large areas of southeastern Europe and Balkan star-news.press/wp

Firefighters fought on Monday to put out forest fires in three separate provinces from Turkey, and in Greece and near a tourist resort in Albania, which was launched by strong winds days after heat across the Mediterranean region.

Smoke over the mountainous Carappok, 200 km north of the capital, Ankara, was smoked as a wildfire that rushed for the sixth day forced to evacuate more than ten villages and burned clips of the forests.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forests in Türkiye said on Monday that in the northwestern Bursa province, three firefighters were killed on Sunday when their car crashed. The crew fought two separate fires there on Monday, after more than 3,600 settlers evacuated in the southern provinces of Minemen and Antalya.

Türkiye has suffered from dozens of forest fires in recent weeks with high temperatures, and 10 firefighters were killed last week fighting a fire in the Central Esciesel province.

The hot and dry summer is common in the Mediterranean region, but the most dense heat waves have contributed to the destroyed forest fires in recent years amid rapid temperatures all over the world.

The fire brigade said on Monday afternoon that at least 44 fires erupted in Greece during the past 24 hours.

On the southern Greek island of Kithera, the strong winds have brought a burning fire since Saturday. In Athens, firefighters quickly contained a fire that broke out at the foot of the Heimitus Mountain, near the university campus and its densely populated suburbs.

During the weekend, many villages were evacuated in Greece, and five people were injured in fires in separate forests.

When Greece saw the third summer heat wave on Monday, the rainy weather in Serbia helped the firefighters there to show more than 100 fires in the forest.

In Albania, more than 900 firefighters fought with the help of the army to control forest fires before reaching the city of Saranda on the beach and other tourist resorts in the south of the country on the Ion coast.

Police said about 13 people were arrested due to deliberate crimes in the past three days.

Bulgaria, with the help of many European countries, has released firefighting aircraft to help tame a large fire near the Bulgarian border.

To date, the fire burned approximately 6,500 hectares in total. Two people were detained by the authorities who were investigating the cause of fires, according to the local media.

Watch | An increased risk of wild smoke:

The concerned scientists may become increasingly toxic smoke

Some scientists say that more research is needed about what toxic chemicals can be re -released in the air, because climate change makes a type of wet land that naturally stores pollution more vulnerable to fire.
