What a Forest Fire Self-Protection Plan is

A Forest Fire Self-Protection Plan sets out the preventive measures and response protocol an installation, development or activity located in a wildfire-risk zone must adopt to reduce the risk of fire ignition and spread, and to ensure an effective response in the event of a wildfire. In Spain, it is mandatory for developments, industrial installations, campsites and other activities located within the wildland-urban interface, under regional wildfire prevention regulation.

What it includes

Wildfire risk assessment of the surrounding area, considering vegetation, topography and the area's fire history.
Passive self-protection measures: perimeter fuel management strips, safety distances, fire-resistant construction materials.
On-site firefighting resources: hydrants, water tanks, first-response equipment available at the installation.
Evacuation and shelter plan in the event of a nearby wildfire.
Coordination with regional wildfire services.

When it is mandatory

It is required for developments and population centres in high wildfire-risk areas, industrial or renewable energy installations located within the wildland-urban interface, campsites, and other activities specifically regulated by regional wildfire prevention rules, which vary significantly between Spanish regions.
