Xàbia begins to draft a new plan for the prevention of forest fires
Xàbia has begun to work on a new municipal forest fire prevention plan , to face up to the potential risk of the losses that the actual urban lay-out of the municipality poses , particularly where it affects areas with a high housing density .
The Town Hall has engaged Medi XXI Gabinet de Solucions Integrals , a specialist and recognised
Valencian company to assist in the process . Ferran Dalmau , the engineer responsible , explained that as Xàbia has 2,500 hectares of forest , it is necessary to focus on the areas of urban / forest interface ( areas of contact between forest zones and urbanisations ) and assume that for varying reasons ( intentional , weather conditions , negligence , etc .) that there will be fires and that it is everyone ’ s responsibility to be prepared to deal with them . Dalmau spoke about the four key areas that need to be assessed : planning , forestry management- both from the public administration side and also from the citizens themselves applying new concepts such as pyrogardening – a good supply of hydrants and the creation of firewalls and training citizens so that in the event of a fire that they are helpful and do not hinder the work of the professionals .
