The proposal from the Regional Government of Andalusia to not authorize pyrotechnic events has led municipalities like Baeza to postpone their fireworks until November 30. This measure, adopted for safety reasons due to high temperatures and elevated fire risk, aims to ensure the protection of the environment and people's lives.
Other towns in the Alpujarra region of Almería, such as Fondón, Fuente Victoria, and Benecid, have also announced suspensions, joining Abla and Fines who did so last weekend. In Campo de Gibraltar, San Roque, and in the province of Huelva, Moguer, have implemented similar measures for this weekend.
The Minister of Emergencies, Antonio Sanz, has called for "citizen responsibility" and "understanding from municipal officials," emphasizing that the safety and lives of people are paramount given the "gravity" of the climatic situation and the fire risk in Andalusia and across Spain.
The decision is made in a context of high concern over forest fires, especially after recent incidents in the province of Almería. The measure seeks to prevent incidents during a high-risk summer, reminding everyone of the need for prudence and commitment.
