With 3 people already dead in the Turkish province of Antalya, many tourists currently in hotels in the region are witnessing with our orange button.
Goudar explains it “Since yesterday morning, a smoke had forced itself into the sky of the adjoining mansion (Tourist area east of Antalya, author’s note). At first, we thought it was a small gray passing cloud. By noon, the sky had turned orange and purple (Photo below). It was interesting to watch. “, He explains, joined Fanny Linen.
He was later able to attend some firefighting operations. “Two helicopters and a plane began to take water from the sea in front of my hotel to help firefighters put out the wildfire. The fire was under control at the end of the day, but the air was hot and unpleasant. We took refuge in the reception area to breathe some air and breathe. “, He explains.
Fire accidents reach our hotel
It has not improved. “At 6 a.m. today, the helicopters resumed service and the sky was orange (Photos below), Since then the smell of smoke emanates, and pieces of fire reach our hotel. “
Despite this seemingly dangerous situation, officials like the hotel do not evict them. This surprises Kauter positively. “Turkish authorities are handling the situation very well. As tourists we are encouraged to continue our activities without problems as the situation is under control. The only catch is that the scent is unpleasant and prevents you from breathing freely. The sky is cloudy and the sun is shy. “
Nord’s confidence is low. In the video below, he explains his surprise at the silence of local authorities: “We are completely obsessed with smoking and can no longer even see the hotel next door, no one here is stressed, it’s normal. Smoke surrounds us. It’s black, in fact it’s completely black. Smoke is coming at us, but it is normal. There is no eviction procedure. People work normally. But there is no one outside, this time it is usually packed in the pool, you can not find a place. “
Despite this tense weather, some tourists are still “enjoying” the view of the burning cloud at Patrice’s Hotel this morning, he sent us in this photo. Like Cowder in her video, Patrice observes the heat in the area.
Finally, going a little further, Theo notices a fire raging. “We are in Alanya, 60 km from the Manavcat fire. So far the hotel has not warned about anything, but is constantly looking at the Turkish and Belgian newspapers. We know about the fire. From our balcony, we can see 3 heavy smoke. The sun is obscured by thick smoke over time. “, At 5:00 pm he testified to us via warning.
