Overview

• Manual water cannons in El Vedat have been operating since the weekend, with phased activations on Monday to maintain ground moisture and speed any initial response, according to Protección Civil.
• Previfoc level 3 across the Valencian region, with a risk of dry storms, led the council to keep the Canyada del Conill and La Marxadella paelleros closed and sealed, while advising residents not to light fires at private homes.
• After an AEMET red alert, the council convened an emergency meeting with the local police and Protección Civil to coordinate resources and maintain continuous monitoring.
• To ease heat stress, the town hall served as a cooling refuge and two refrigerated water fountains were available on Avenida Al Vedat, one by city hall and another at the Torrent Avinguda metro stop.
• El Vedat residents and their association have formally requested the permanent closure of the Canyada del Conill grills, a petition the council says it is studying while emphasizing compliance with safety rules and contractor-enforced shutdowns.
