During the night, the fires spread in Muğla's Köyceğiz and Milas districts, while three neighbourhoods were ordered to evacuate, the local authorities said on Saturday.
In Milas, a fire near a coal-fired power plant was brought under control but teams were on alert in case wind sparked the blaze again, Pakdemirli said.
Volunteers joined firefighting efforts across Muğla, while teams continued to cool some areas and assess the damage. Others worked to offer shelter and food to the animals affected.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said a total of 5,250 firefighter crew had been dispatched to disaster areas, backed by more than 80 helicopters, firefighter planes and drones and 1,000 trucks and vehicles, in a tweet on Friday evening.
At least eight people have died and 100,000 hectares of forest and fields have been destroyed, according to estimates, with more than 64,000 hectares destroyed in Muğla alone.
