The forest fire that broke out in the rural area of Kırkpınar Mahallesi, affiliated with the Nurdağı district of Gaziantep, was brought under control as a result of the intense intervention carried out by the teams from the air and the ground. The fire started in the dry grass and scrubland area in the region and spread to a wide area in a short time due to the effect of the wind. Upon notification, the Orman Bölge Müdürlüğü teams dispatched to the region intervened in the fire both from the air and the ground. Numerous water tenders, construction machinery, and helicopters participated in the fire extinguishing efforts. As a result of the intense effort of the teams lasting about 4 hours, the fire was brought under control and cooling operations were initiated.
While there were no casualties or injuries in the fire, it was stated that an area of approximately 10 hectares was damaged. The dry air and wind effective in the region caused the fire to grow. Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the fire. According to initial assessments, it is considered that the fire may have broken out as a result of negligence or carelessness. It is emphasized that citizens need to be more sensitive against forest fires.
In a statement regarding the fire, Gaziantep Valiliği announced that the fire was brought under control before it could grow, thanks to the rapid intervention of the teams. The Valilik reported that cooling efforts were continuing in the region and that there was no danger. In addition, thanks were given to all teams that supported the fire extinguishing efforts.

Forest fires are frequently seen across Turkey during the summer months. Experts draw attention to the fact that climate change and drought increase the risk of fire. Orman Genel Müdürlüğü states that they are constantly on alert from the air and the ground to combat fires. Citizens are warned not to light fires in forested areas and not to leave waste such as glass bottles that could cause fires. It is emphasized that social awareness needs to be increased to prevent such fires.
The bringing of the fire in Gaziantep under control was welcomed with joy by the local people. The teams participating in the fire extinguishing efforts worked with great devotion in difficult terrain conditions. The fire not spreading to the surrounding agricultural lands prevented a potential disaster. Authorities announced that work would be initiated to reforest the areas damaged after the fire. Precautions and inspections to be taken to prevent such incidents from happening again will be increased.
