The Barcelona Fire Service is returning to the city’s municipal markets with Prevenim!, the educational vehicle used by the service to disseminate advice on prevention and self-protection in the case of household fires.

Specifically, the Prevenim! vehicle will be set up from 10 am to 1 pm at the following markets on the dates indicated: Abaceria (27 January), Poblenou (10 February), Hostafrancs (17 February), Lesseps (24 February), Sarrià (10 March), Tres Torres (17 March) and La Mercè (24 March).

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

Firefighters will be on hand, directly explaining to people how to avoid fires in the home and what to do if there is one.

Remember that besides following this prevention advice, where there is a risk of fire this should be reported using the 112 phone number for emergencies.
