At dawn, the inhabitants of five municipalities located between Barcelona and Tarragona had been called upon to confine themselves, due to the toxic cloud caused by a fire in an industrial deposit storing pool products.<\/p>\n
Mme<\/sup> Paron, however, asked vulnerable people, children and those who practice a sport not to go out for precaution yet. Previously, the authorities had asked the inhabitants to stay at home, windows and closed doors, while roads and stations were closed to avoid any trip to this area.<\/p>\nLikewise, the firefighters called on the population to remain vigilant, because depending on the winds and the movement of the toxic cloud, which has not yet completely dissipated, they could request new confinements in limited areas.<\/p>\n Smoke escapes from a building housing maintenance products for swimming pools, in the coastal city of Vilanova I La Geltru, south of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bon May 10, 2025.
