Burning actively in Turkey near the city of Sağkaya, a 200-hectare (494-acre) wildfire that started on September 19, 2026, is currently exhibiting a moderate heat signature from its peak fire radiative power, as satellites pick up 12 heat detections clustering nearby over the past 48 hours to map the spread of the front.
This incident unfolds during the typical Turkish fire season, which runs from June to September. Meanwhile, the broader national landscape has seen 51,363 hectares burn so far in 2026, a total that remains roughly in line with the two-decade average for the country.
