Fallen trees in Ribes de Freser led to the precautionary closure of two roads and caused sparks on electrical wiring, requiring intervention from the Generalitat Firefighters.

The Generalitat Firefighters responded to two incidents involving fallen trees in Ribes de Freser during Monday night and Tuesday morning. These events necessitated the precautionary closure of two traffic routes.
The first alert was received around 10:30 PM in the Bruguera area. Several trees had fallen onto electrical wiring, generating sparks, which led to the road being closed as a precaution. Two fire crews removed the trees and notified the responsible power company to address the issue.
The second incident occurred around 6:30 AM on Tuesday, when a tree fell in the middle of the GIV-5217 road, also in Ribes de Freser, obstructing traffic. Firefighters removed the tree from the roadway, and the route was reopened.
