Helicopters dump water to extinguish fires engulfing woodlands in the coastal tourism province of Antalya August 3, 2008. Strong winds on Sunday hampered fire-fighters' efforts to bring under control a major forest fire that has devastated 4,000 hectares (10,000 acres) of woodland in Turkey's tourism heartland, the state Anatolian news agency said.
