The Generalitat Firefighters, Barcelona Firefighters, and ADF are working since early afternoon on a fire in reeds and brushwood in El Prat de Llobregat.

The fire, reported at 2:29 PM, is located next to the B-250 road, which has been completely closed between the C-31 and B-20 motorways, near the Llobregat junction. The emergency number 112 has received 181 calls reporting the fire.
The fire has also affected traffic on the Ronda de Dalt, where one lane has been closed between Cornellà and L'Hospitalet de Llobregat heading towards Barcelona. This has caused significant delays and traffic jams on this road.
To combat the incident, the Generalitat Firefighters have deployed ten ground units and three aerial resources, who are working to control and extinguish the flames.
