Anadolu Agency's final 11 September update says crews extinguished the wildfire beside the Çiçek Kent residential complex in Taşpınar, Gölbaşı. Earlier in the response, police had evacuated nearby homes as a precaution and closed roads leading into the operational area while fire engines, water tankers, TOMA vehicles and a helicopter worked. The final report supersedes the earlier 'partly controlled' status, but it does not specify when every local evacuation or access control ended. No evidence supports claims that Ankara as a whole, the city centre or all Gölbaşı roads were closed. Separately, OGM's latest verified status still lists the earlier Aksu and Kozan fires as controlled with cooling work continuing.
The fire is extinguished; earlier access measures were local
The fire began in forest land next to the Çiçek Kent site in Taşpınar for a cause not yet established. Police evacuated nearby residential areas and blocked roads into the fire zone while emergency vehicles worked; Anadolu Agency later reported the fire extinguished. Its final update gives no verified evacuation total, casualty figure or exact timetable for lifting each local access control. Travellers should therefore follow police and local-authority directions rather than treating either the earlier closures or a blanket reopening as confirmed.
One resident died; 720 people were evacuated in Aksu–Kepez
Aksu Mayor İsa Yıldırım identified the resident who died as Hasan Kahya and said he had been helping the response when smoke exposure was followed by a heart attack. Authorities had evacuated 720 people from 254 homes in Aksu and Kepez. Eight other people were affected: two were taken to hospital with leg injuries and six were treated as outpatients. CK Akdeniz Elektrik said outages affected 2,329 subscribers. These figures concern the operational area, not all of Antalya.
Aksu is controlled; cooling and access checks continue
OGM's 10 September notice upgrades Aksu from 'largely controlled' to controlled and says cooling continues. Antalya Governorate had separately reported that the threat to settlements was greatly reduced and the small extension towards Kepez stopped. 'Controlled' is an operational status, not a declaration that every hot spot is extinguished or every local restriction has ended. Residents and travellers should still follow official instructions before entering affected neighbourhoods.
Karaisalı, Feke and Yahyalı are now largely controlled
OGM's latest update moves the two Adana fires and the Yahyalı fire on the Adana–Kayseri boundary from active response to largely controlled. The Karaisalı incident was reported around rural Çorlu and the Feke incident around Mansurlu. Crews are still intervening and monitoring the areas. 'Largely controlled' is therefore an operational milestone, not the same as 'fully extinguished' or an invitation to enter the fire zone.
What is confirmed in Muğla
The fire began in the forested Yaraş area of Menteşe and, with wind affecting operations, reached the Armutçuk area of neighbouring Ula. Anadolu Agency, citing Muğla Governor İdris Akbıyık, reported that three homes were evacuated as a precaution—two in Menteşe and one in Ula—along with three cattle and about 100 sheep and goats. Aircraft, ground crews and water vehicles were deployed.
Menteşe has moved to a stronger control status
OGM's later update says the Menteşe fire is largely under control, a step beyond its earlier 'energy reduced' wording. It still stops short of saying the fire is fully extinguished. Cooling, hot-spot checks and monitoring continue, and the public should not enter the operational area or use drones that can endanger firefighting aircraft.
Separate Serik fire is controlled; cooling continues
The overnight fire in forest and agricultural land around Deniztepesi and Sarıabalı prompted home evacuations. Anadolu Agency reports that five homes and some greenhouses became unusable, three disabled residents suffered smoke exposure and were taken to hospital, and the driver of a private excavator was injured when the machine overturned. Crews brought this incident under control and cooling continues. It is separate from the earlier Akbaş fire, which OGM had described as largely controlled.
KGM removes the wildfire closures from its live list
In the live KGM closed-roads list checked on 9 September, the Northern Ring Road, the Burdur–Antalya boundary–Kurşunlu interchange section and the two connecting Isparta sections are no longer recorded as closed because of the fire. The earlier closures were temporary and should not be treated as a current blanket restriction. Other unrelated restrictions remain in the region, including the landslide closure near Topaçlar on the Alanya–Gazipaşa connection, so drivers should still check the live list and follow police or gendarmerie directions immediately before travel.
Kumluca is now largely controlled; road checks still matter
OGM's morning notice upgrades the Kumluca fire from 'energy reduced' to largely controlled. Cooling and monitoring therefore continue and the status is not the same as fully extinguished. KGM's live list should still be checked before using route 07-50 between the Boğaçay junction, Altınyaka and the Kumluca connection. A restriction on this mountain link does not by itself mean that the D400 coastal highway or every Kumluca resort is closed.
Kozan is now controlled after 835 people were evacuated
Adana Governor Mustafa Yavuz said 835 people from 285 households were moved to safety across Kozan, İmamoğlu and Aladağ, affecting about 15 neighbourhoods and connected settlements. Seven homes were reported unusable. Earlier, only the Dailer front in Aladağ had been declared controlled while work continued near Üçtepe and Enizçakırı. OGM's 10 September update now says the Kozan fire itself is controlled and cooling continues; that later status supersedes the earlier active-response wording without erasing the evacuation and damage record.
Bozyazı is controlled; cooling continues
OGM's afternoon update moves the Bozyazı fire from largely controlled to controlled. The response around Aksaz in Tekeli had included two aircraft, five helicopters, 66 ground vehicles and 230 personnel. Cooling and hot-spot checks can continue after control is declared, so the status still should not be rewritten as 'fully extinguished'. No evacuation or state-road closure was announced in the verified official update.
No province-wide tourism or airport shutdown is verified
The available official updates do not announce closure of Antalya Airport, a blanket evacuation of coastal resorts or a province-wide travel ban. The active sites are geographically specific. Travellers should verify their exact accommodation, road and transfer route and should not enter Karaöz, Hatipler, Yeşilkaraman, Kızıllı, Çamlıca, Toptaş, Enizçakırı, Aksaz or any cordoned operational area.
Practical safety checklist
Use 112 for an immediate emergency and report smoke or a new fire promptly. Keep access roads clear for tankers, close windows if smoke reaches your accommodation and follow official evacuation instructions without waiting for social-media confirmation. For a journey, check OGM and the governorate for fire status, KGM for state-road restrictions, and the transport operator for the final service decision.
