Gale alert deactivated
Given the improvement in weather conditions and the drop in the number of callouts by the Barcelona Fire Service in connection with gales in the city, the alert stage of the basic municipal emergency plan for gales, activated on 9 January, has been deactivated. The city’s parks will gradually re-open as from tomorrow, Saturday 10 January, once checks have been made.
The Barcelona Fire Service intervened in 22 gale-related incidents between [AFEGIR HORA, DIA I DATA] and [AFEGIR HORA, DIA I DATA], mainly in relation to fallen branches, trees, awnings and urban furniture.
Cleaning services gave priority to the collection of fallen branches and the cleaning of drain scuppers.
