Barcelona deactivates the fire alert but asks for caution
The Barcelona City Council has deactivated this Monday the alert of the Municipal Action Plan due to the risk of forest fires due to improving weather conditions, although it has requested utmost caution to the population since the danger persists.
The consistory has reported that it has made this decision after the Generalitat has deactivated level 3 of the Alpha Plan in the Barcelonès region, which has remained active over the weekend.
