A power plant in Turkey's southwestern Mugla province was evacuated on Wednesday due to a forest fire in the area.

A blaze has reached the perimeter of the Kemerkoy Thermal Power Plant in Mugla's Turkevleri district, with efforts to douse the fire being hindered by strong winds in the region.

All personnel have been evacuated from the plant, while flammable and explosive materials have also been removed.
