The 112 Emergency Service has issued a list of do’s and don’ts for the 'foguerons' and ‘correfocs' of Sant Antoni and Sant Sebastià.

■ Do not turn on the stove with gasoline, use quick-ignition sawdust and paraffin tablets.

■ Do not throw firecrackers or rockets into the fire or containers.

■ Do not put plastic or food scraps into the fire, because they generate a lot of smoke.

■ Do not smoke or light a fire near pyrotechnic containers.

■ Dress in cotton clothes; trousers and long sleeves and wear sensible shoes, a hat or scarf, earplugs and glasses to protect your eyes.

■ Don’t hinder the demons parade by putting obstacles in their way.

■ If you are accompanied by children, keep them at a safe distance from the parades.
