		</div><p>Wildfires raged across western Turkey for a third straight day on Saturday, exacerbated by high winds and warm temperatures, authorities said.</p>
<p>More than 130 fires have erupted across the country in the past week, according to Turkey’s Disaster and Emergency Management Directorate.</p>
<p>Most have been brought under control, but eight major fires continued in the provinces of Izmir, Aydin, Manisa, Karabuk and Bolu.</p>
<p>Thousands of firefighters were tackling the blazes on land and from the air, with dozens of aircraft and hundreds of vehicles aiding in the emergency response.</p>
<p>Thousands of people have been evacuated from the affected areas, but there have been no reported casualties, according to Agriculture and Forestry Minister Ibrahim Yumakli, who spoke to reporters Saturday as he toured the affected provinces.</p>
<p>Mr Yumakli cited low humidity, high winds and high temperatures as exacerbating factors.</p>
<p>The General Directorate of Forestry warned people not to light fires outside for the next 10 days because of the weather conditions across western Turkey, warning of a 70% greater risk of wildfires.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, authorities detained four people in Bolu in connection with the fires, two of whom were arrested and two released.</p>
<p>In June, a fire spread through settlements in southeast Turkey, killing 11 people and leaving dozens of others requiring medical treatment.</p>
