Safety and prevention. The Barcelona Fire Service continues to make its way around the city’s markets as part of its work to promote prevention.

The Barcelona Fire Service will be at the Mercat de les Tres Torres this Friday with Prevenim!, the educational vehicle used by the corps to promote prevention and self-protection advice for people to follow in the case of a household fire.

The visit, which is from 10 am to 1 pm, is one of the measures to promote prevention which the city’s firefighting corps are carrying out periodically to engage with the public directly and enable people to learn about avoiding domestic fires and what to do if one breaks out.

The Prevenim! vehicle features the most common equipment used for firefighting and rescue, as well as screens for showing videos with advice on self-protection and the prevention of household fires.

After the markets of Abaceria, Poblenou, Hostafrancs, Lesseps, Horta and Sarrià, the Mercat de les Tres Torres is the seventh municipal market to be visited by the Barcelona Fire Service this year. The next is the Mercat de La Mercè (24 March).

Remember that besides the advice offered by the fire service, in any situation where there is a risk of fire call the 112 emergency phone number.
