Manavgat, Turkey (CNN) In the small village of Kacarlar, on Turkey's southern coast, farmers are facing apocalyptic scenes as wildfires continue to sweep the country. "The animals are on fire," 56-year-old resident, Muzeyyan Kacar, told CNN. At least six people have died in dozens of blazes that started earlier this week, amid scorching summer temperatures and fires that experts say have been worsened by climate change. Among the victims are two firefighters who were killed battling the flames on Saturday, according to the Turkish Agriculture and Forestry Ministry. A vehicle burned in the fire that broke out in Mugla's Marmaris district in Turkey on July 30.
