Risk of fire

THE Torremolinos Council has announced that as the risk of fire has moved from low to medium, it received an in‐struction from the Junta de Andalucia on Tuesday April 11 to ban the use of barbecues in forest areas.

This is because the recent lack of rain and current rise in temperatures have forced the Junta to make this deci‐sion as part of its forest fire prevention strategy, which will also cancel authorisations for agricultural burning.

The ban on barbecues applies for rest areas on the road network, recreational and camping areas and in ‐deed anywhere where there is a risk of starting a forest fire.
