DERSİM - Since the forest fires that started two weeks ago in Dersim were not intervened, they continue to spread.
 
As a result of the military operation, the forest fire that started in the countryside of Hozat district of Dersim on August 17 and spread to the villages of the Ovacık district continues. As a result of public reactions, the fire started to be intervened 13 days later, and forest fires broke out in the Fırtına Veli Fountain in the Munzur Valley and the Roj Stream in the Pülümür Valley yesterday.
 
While the forest fire that started in the Munzur Valley spread rapidly with the effect of the wind, some citizens and the Dersim Municipality fire crews began to intervene in the fire in the morning.
 
It has been learned that no intervention has been made so far regarding the fire that has been going on for two days in the Pülümür Valley.
