The Salt Local Police have implemented the use of drones to patrol the Deveses and orchard areas, aiming to prevent fires and penalize risky behavior in natural spaces.

The aerial device allows officers to monitor the environment preventively. This technology facilitates warnings to users before an infraction occurs, especially during periods of high forest fire risk.
According to municipal data, in recent months, fines have been issued for the use of barbecues in unauthorized areas and for motorized vehicle access to the Ter riverbank, where road traffic is restricted.
The surveillance teams are equipped with public address systems that allow for direct warnings to citizens in the area. This tool is key to reminding people of the ban on lighting fires in the Deveses park.
