Two volunteer firefighters die amid wildfires in Turkey
The pair died in hospital after they were pulled from a water tanker that rolled while heading to a forest fire, news agency IHA reported.
Another worker died earlier at the scene of the accident and a firefighter died on Sunday after suffering a heart attack.
Their deaths raised Turkey's wildfire fatalities to 17 since late June, including 10 rescue volunteers and forestry workers killed on Wednesday in a fire in Eskisehir, western Turkey.
Huge fires around Bursa, Turkey's fourth-largest city, broke out over the weekend, leading to more than 3,500 people fleeing their homes.
On Monday morning, fog-like smoke from ongoing fires and smouldering foliage hung over the city.
Unseasonably high temperatures, dry conditions and strong winds have been fuelling the wildfires, with Turkey and other parts of the eastern Mediterranean experiencing record-breaking heatwaves.
The fires around Bursa were among hundreds to have hit Turkey over the past month.
While firefighting teams have contained the damage to a limited number of homes, vast tracts of forest have been turned to ash.
The water tanker crew comprised volunteers from nearby Bolu province heading to the village of Aglasan, north-east of Bursa, to combat a blaze when the vehicle fell into a ditch while negotiating a rough forest track, IHA reported.
Turkey battled at least 44 separate fires on Sunday, forestry minister Ibrahim Yumakli said late on Sunday.
He identified two fires in Bursa province, as well as blazes in Karabuk, north-west Turkey, and Kahramanmaras in the south, as the most serious.
The government declared disaster areas in two western provinces, Izmir and Bilecik.
Prosecutions have been launched against 97 people in 33 of Turkey's 81 provinces in relation to the fires, justice minister Yilmaz Tunc said.
A crowd of people gathered on Sunday evening outside a police station in the village of Harmancik, 57 kilometres (35 miles) south of Bursa, after learning a suspected arsonist was detained there.
The angry crowd demanded for the suspect to be handed over to them.
The crowd dispersed after police assured them a thorough investigation would be undertaken.

Over 600 American firefighters battling Canadian wildfires; roughly 16 million acres burned
Wildfires continued to rage across Canada on Friday, with nearly three dozen new blazes, bringing the total number of active fires to 673. According to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, there have been more than 3,700 fires this season, trailing only 2023 as the most severe ever, and scorching roughly 16 million acres. "It's an unfortunate reality," Shannon Graf, wildfire information officer for the Government of the Northwest Territories, lamented to WCCO News. "If we could stop the smoke we'd be stopping it here real quick." Many out-of-control fires are in the Northwest Territories, a massive expanse that borders Alaska. Hundreds of other blazes are raging in the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, just to the northwest of Minnesota. "We've got crews from out of the territory and from out of the country," Graf explained. "We've got helicopters, we've got airplanes. We've got crews on the ground. We've got incident management teams running all of these crews. Basically, we are working our people as much and as best we can while still keeping them healthy." More than 600 American firefighters have traveled to Canada this summer to help battle those wildfires, the U.S. Forest Service reported last month. Officials at the CIFFC said crews have also flown in from Mexico, Chile and Australia, among other nations.

Summer in Canada steams ahead in August, with a few hints of fall
Welcome to August! This remains a toasty, humid, and sometimes stormy time of year for many communities across Canada. What's in store for your weather during the month ahead? Forecasters see summer rolling along as we head through August—but with some areas experiencing a few hints of fall, as well. Visit our for an in-depth look at the Summer Forecast, tips to plan for it and much more! August starts with a divided pattern across Canada We'll kick off the month with a divided pattern draped across the country. A brief period of cooler weather is settling into place across much of Eastern Canada to start August. Meanwhile, warmer-than-normal temperatures will dominate areas from British Columbia all the way through northwestern Ontario. DON'T MISS: Early August will also see a decent amount of rainfall pushing into portions of British Columbia and Alberta. Some sporadic rain could even fall across parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba where wildfires are currently contributing to poor air quality for large portions of the country. The eastern cooldown won't last long. We'll see above-seasonal temperatures quickly return to Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada as we enter the second week of the month. Variable conditions, warmth return for the second half of August Looking ahead to the second half of the month, warmer-than-normal temperatures are expected to dominate from Ontario to Atlantic Canada, as well as across most of B.C. However, we'll still see a few doses of cooler air interrupt the warmth. MUST SEE: Folks on the Prairies can expect more changeable conditions through the middle and end of August. Periods of hot weather will be interspersed with a risk for longer stretches of cooler conditions—a back-and-forth that may result in overall temperatures that average out closer to seasonal for the remainder of the month. Average temperatures will slowly begin to decline through August. Occasional doses of cooler air, episodes of dew and fog in the morning, and shrinking daylight hours will all combine to provide hints of fall as we progress through the month. Watching the tropics for potential hazards August marks a distinct uptick in tropical activity across the Atlantic basin. Forecasters largely expect an above-average season this year—and there are signs that the Atlantic will come to life close to schedule as a favourable pattern develops during the middle and latter portions of August. Anyone in Atlantic Canada should prepare for hurricane season well before any storms have a chance to threaten the region. Make sure you're prepared for potential flooding, evacuations, wind damage, and power outages. The remnants of tropical systems hitting the U.S. can even track into Ontario and Quebec, bringing a risk for flooding, high winds, and tornadoes across the region.
