Some 274 people were evacuated as a precaution, officials have said.

Turkey was the country worst affected by last year's Mediterranean fires, which burned through more than 206,000 hectares of its land, according to the European Forest Fire Information System.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government was criticized for being unprepared to fight the 2021 fires, especially due to a lack of planes and helicopters.

Kemal Kilicdaroglu, head of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), said on Wednesday the government was "incompetent" and had not increased preparedness following last year's fires.
