Scenes of devastation in Turkey as wildfires force thousands to evacuate

Firefighters largely brought a major wildfire in northwest Turkey under control on Tuesday, the country's forestry minister announced, a day after the blaze prompted hundreds of evacuations and led to the suspension of maritime traffic. The blaze broke out at an agricultural land in Canakkale province on Monday. Fanned by strong winds, it rapidly spread to a forested area then to a residential area.
