Emergency services responded at about 10:05 a.m. to a fire near the Tiana sports complex, where several active fronts developed. The municipal swimming pool was closed as a precaution, and access to the surrounding area was restricted. Thick smoke was visible from a distance.
The fire reportedly started in a landfill zone beside the sports facilities. Six ground units and two aerial teams were deployed as firefighters worked to contain the blaze and stop it from spreading. Multiple active fronts, with flames advancing in several directions, complicated the operation.
The Tiana City Council urged residents to stay away from the affected area to reduce risks and give emergency crews room to work. The pool closure was a precaution because the fire was close to the facilities and posed a potential danger to visitors and staff.
Firefighters remained at the scene to contain the active fronts and watch for flare-ups. Waste fires can continue to smoulder after visible flames have diminished, so crews kept monitoring the area. Access restrictions were to remain in place until authorities considered the area safe. No injuries or evacuations were reported during the initial response.
Tiana is in the Maresme comarca of Barcelona province, Catalonia. The fire was reported in a landfill area beside public sports facilities. Dry conditions and wind can contribute to fires spreading in the region. In this incident, ground crews and aerial teams worked against multiple fronts near the complex.
