The Forest Fire Risk Plan Alfa has been activated at level 4, extreme, in 21 municipalities across seven Catalan counties this Saturday.

The Rural Agents have activated level 3, very high, in 177 municipalities spread across 17 counties. This situation leads to access restrictions in three emblematic natural spaces: Baronia de Rialb, Ribera Salada, and the Montmell-Marmellar Natural Space.
Surveillance has been intensified to prevent risky behaviors and ensure compliance with established measures. The public is urged to exercise extreme caution and avoid any activity that could spark a forest fire.
Protecting the natural environment and ensuring public safety are priorities in a scenario of very high risk due to drought and high temperatures.
