According to a statement released by the Turkish forestry ministry, ten people fighting wildfires in the country's southwest have died. The fatalities occurred when a sudden change in wind direction caused a fire to overwhelm teams of workers attempting to extinguish the blaze. It is one of dozens of fires that have raged across Turkey in recent weeks, causing extensive destruction and forcing thousands to flee their homes.
