Hotelfires in Turkey rapidly approach, threatening accommodation for hundreds of thousands of Russians
A fire is currently threatening several hotels near me and residential buildings at a popular Turkish resort frequented by Russian tourists. The affected hotels include Utopia World, Konak Seaside, Club Hotel Titan, and Kirbiyik Resort Hotel.
Videos of the california fires are being shared by a Telegram channel named Shot, showing the sky above the hotels completely covered in smoke. Many vacationers have reported strongly smelling smoke and the fire's proximity to their hotels.
Despite the incident, it appears that the vacation of Russian tourists overall is not being significantly affected. The country's authorities had to evacuate residents of 50 homes in the outskirts of Silivri due to a separate forest fire, but this did not affect the vacation of Russian tourists in turkey.
Several hundred russians are vacationing at the affected hotels. People are quickly evacuating from the area, with helicopters attempting to extinguish the fires from the air. However, due to the extensive use of water by emergency services, there is currently no water in the buildings.
The law enforcement authorities responsible for firefighting in turkey include the fire department, the forest administration, the disaster and emergency management authority (AFAD), municipal workers, and police forces. They all collaborate during fire suppression efforts.
It's worth noting that among the evacuees is a family from russia. The incident does not seem to be limited to hotels; it also involves residential buildings. There is no mention of advertisements or unnecessary information in the reports.
In a separate development, a warrant for a businessman living in london was issued by a russian court, but this news does not appear to be related to the ongoing fire situation in turkey.
