Drone footage shows wildfires in Aegean coastal town of Marmaris

Drone footage shows wildfires raging for a third day on Saturday (July 31) in the Aegean coastal town of Marmaris.

The footage also shows the extent of damage in the area, where massive wildfires turned trees into ashes.

Authorities were battling multiple blazes elsewhere in southern Turkey for a fourth day on Saturday.

The death toll from the fires rose to six on Saturday, as two firefighting personnel died during efforts to control the fire in Manavgat, broadcaster CNN Turk said.

Wildfires are common in southern Turkey in the hot summer months but local authorities say the latest fires have covered a much bigger area.

With deadly heatwaves, flooding and wildfires occurring around the world, calls are growing for urgent action to cut the CO2 emissions heating the planet.
