Fire is the essential element of numerous festivals and celebrations that form part of Spain’s cultural heritage. Good examples include the Fallas, Correfocs, San Antón bonfires, San Juan bonfires, and many other festivities held in our country to celebrate the spring equinox and the summer solstice.
And it is above all in the Mediterranean where festivities are linked to recreational fire (firecrackers and pyrotechnic displays), rising as the essential symbol of the celebration.
Fire frightens us and, at the same time, attracts us. Major festivities always end and begin with fire, because it has strong symbolism and great beauty.
To prevent possible damage and accidents, it is essential to protect yourself properly from fire. Fortunately, awareness of prevention has spread, and custom and practice have resulted in greater safety, with a significant decrease both in the number of cases and in their severity. However, everything done in terms of safety is necessary, welcome, and a priority.
