Almost 1,500 work force, in excess of 360 vehicles, 20 helicopters and 14 planes were associated with handling the blast, authorities said.
The previous summer’s blasts, a large portion of which were likewise close to Marmaris, were the most extraordinary in Turkey on record, an European Union climate screen said last year, adding that the Mediterranean had turned into a rapidly spreading fire area of interest.
