Wildfires in Türkiye

1,573 fires over 100 hectares with an official perimeter since 2016, adding up to 887,266 hectares burned across 469 districts.

Only fires of 100 ha or more get an entry: smaller ones are not in the lists or the entry totals, but they are in the official yearly series.

These figures leave out 64 provisional pages, seen only as heat detections and still without a perimeter. They appear in the lists, marked.
