Massive fires engulfed forests in Göcek and Dalaman in Turkey's western Muğla province Wednesday, as initial estimates show 250 hectares of land have perished in the fire.

Some 520 firefighters, 105 water tankers, and 18 bulldozers battled the flames, which spread to the nearby city of Fethiye as a result of strong winds.

The wildfire was extinguished on Thursday.

Officials said there are no casualties, but an unoccupied boutique hotel has been damaged in the blaze.

Authorities evacuated nearly 34 houses as part of safety precautions, Muğla Governor Esengül Civelek said.

Meanwhile, another dangerous fire, although smaller in scale, broke out in a building in Ankara.
