Bombers de Barcelona

Bombers de Barcelona are the fire service for the city of Barcelona, responsible for responding to fires, rescues, and other emergency situations. They also play a role in fire prevention and public safety education. They are in the news currently due to a recent fire at the Hotel Pulitzer on Carrer Bergara, near Plaça Catalunya, which required their intervention. Furthermore, the Barcelona City Council, led by Mayor Jaume Collboni, has announced a new Strategic Plan for Bombers de Barcelona. A key element of this plan is a proposal to make smoke detectors mandatory in all new residential constructions starting in 2027. This initiative aims to proactively prevent avoidable fires in homes, highlighting the Bombers de Barcelona's ongoing efforts to improve fire safety throughout the city.
