Bursa Forest Fire Leaves Devastation Behind
A massive forest fire in the Gürsu district of Bursa, Türkiye, has left behind severe destruction, marking one of the region’s worst disasters. The fire, which raged for four days, blackened the foothills of Katırlı Mountain and destroyed vast green areas, including near the Gürsu Municipality Recreation Area and Animal Care Center. Drone footage revealed the scale of devastation. Gürsu Mayor Mustafa Işık said, “When the sun rose, we saw the magnitude of the disaster. Our hearts burned.” Cooling operations in Gürsu and neighboring Kestel continue.
