| Yesterday the members of Civil Protection had to extinguish a fire attack in La Media Legua for this reason | "Until September 30, according to a decree from the regional government, agricultural burning of plant remains from pruning in areas close to urban centers is prohibited," recalls Torreño Mayor Joaquín Vela Fernández.
And it does so in relation to the outbreak of fire that yesterday the members of the local body of Civil Protection had to extinguish in the area of ??La Media Legua.
A situation in which, fortunately, no personal or material damage had to be regretted. This prohibition is related to the high risk of fire due to the extreme temperatures that the Region of Murcia endures during the summer season.
"In addition, the impact on health and the environment is minimized in a context such as the current one, marked by the crisis by COVID-19," indicates the mayor. Exception As an exception, burning is allowed in justified cases, which must have municipal authorization.
