The Castelldefels City Council has extended the temporary ban on the use of fireworks throughout the municipality due to the risk of forest fires. The measure will be in effect until 23:59 on Sunday, August 30, 2026.

The Castelldefels City Council has decided to extend the temporary ban on the use of fireworks across the entire municipal area. The measure, which has been in place since July 31, will remain in effect at least until 23:59 on Sunday, August 30, 2026.

The restriction applies to both public and private outdoor spaces. The use of firecrackers, rockets, batteries, and any other pyrotechnic elements is prohibited while the measure remains in effect.

The council has made this decision due to the persistence of weather conditions that maintain a high risk of forest fires in the municipality and throughout the region.

The decree states that the ban may be extended again if the circumstances justifying it persist. It could also be lifted before the scheduled date if the situation improves and the risk decreases.

The City Council is calling for civic responsibility to take extra precautions during the summer months and to collaborate in fire prevention. Citizens are urged to respect the current restrictions and avoid any activities that may pose a risk to people, the natural environment, or property.

The protection of the natural environment and collective safety are the main objectives of this extraordinary measure, adopted in a context of high temperatures and conditions particularly conducive to the spread of fire.
