Firefighters were tackling a wildfire for a third day on Friday in southwest Turkey, where municipal officials have warned that national authorities are unprepared even after last year's devastating fires revealed a lack of planes and personnel.
Scenes of burning woodland near the Aegean coastal resort of Marmaris since Tuesday have sparked fears of a repeat of last year's fires that ravaged some 140,000 hectares (345,950 acres) across the region.
