The fire brigade, which participated in the struggle of Bursa Metropolitan Municipality to heal the wounds in Hatay, with a search and rescue team of 27 people, continues uninterruptedly.
The works carried out by Bursa Metropolitan Municipality, which 'distributes aid, creates temporary living spaces and installs mobile toilets' in Hatay, continue uninterruptedly, with more than 400 personnel and nearly 150 vehicles and equipment. While the support given to the aid distributions and debris removal works continues, the firefighters support the "hopeful waiting of the people of Hatay at the head of the wreckage" with their search efforts. The Metropolitan Fire Brigade, which works in two teams with 27 personnel in the central Antakya district, takes part in the debris determined under the coordination of AFAD. Firefighters working in narrow streets 'surrounded by buildings in danger of collapse' in the devastated city make superhuman efforts to bring hopes to the point of extinction.
Teams trying to detect heat among the rubble piles with thermal imaging devices reach lifeless bodies as time passes, and often the hopeful wait of the families at the head of the rubble ends in despair.
