There are teams deployed along close to 1,800 hectares of Collserola park belonging to the city, divided up between the districts of Les Corts, Sarrià – Sant Gervasi, Horta-Guinardó, Nou Barris and Gràcia.

A forest fire affecting an area of 700 square metres and a wildfire on Montjuïc affecting an area of 2 hectares have broken out since 15 April, the day of the campaign’s launch.

The following actions are being taken up to 11 August to beef up prevention:

• 166 inspections and tours of access points, identifications of paths and checks of the state they are found in, and examinations of fire hydrants.
• 60 preventive standby duties, under the decreed pre-alerts. When activated, resources, vehicles and fire fighters are mobilised, sometimes with set vigilance points during times of greater risk, where necessary.
• 54 tours giving out tips on self-protection and prevention for the area’s local residents, to convey the guidelines for action in the event of a forest fire. One of the actions was a forest-fire drill in May in the Mas Sauró (Sarrià – Sant Gervasi) area, with the deployment of between 30 and 40 fire fighters.

The drill, which Guàrdia Urbana [city police], Barcelona Social Emergency Centre and the Collserola Park Consortium also took part in, was carried out using a drone service. The Civil Protection, Fire-Prevention and Extinction and Rescue Service have three drones to help with decision-taking and improving the safety of its fire fighters in action.
