Civil Protection warns of rural fire risk

Observador14 September 2026 at 17:48

Civil Protection issued a warning for rural fire risk. The measure aims to prevent the occurrence of fires during the period of greatest vulnerability.

Extensive burnings have been prohibited throughout the area covered by the alert. This restriction applies to all large-scale burning practices.

On days classified as high and maximum risk, pile burnings, the use of outdoor cooking fires, and the use of machinery such as brush cutters, slashers, and woodchippers are also prohibited. These activities represent additional sources of ignition that can trigger fires in rural areas.

Why this matters

Readers should be aware of the restrictions in force for activities that can cause fires, especially during periods of higher risk. These measures directly affect farmers, rural property owners, and anyone performing work in the countryside, and all should check risk levels before carrying out burnings or using equipment that may generate sparks.
