Val do Dubra definitively approves the municipal plan against forest fires

The City Council of Val do Dubra has definitively approved the Municipal Plan for the Prevention and Defense against Forest Fires (PMPDIF), a land-use planning instrument that conditions forest management and security within the municipality. The agreement was adopted by the Plenary of the Corporation on September 17, 2026, and the announcement was published in the Official Gazette of the Province of A Coruña (BOP) no. 182, dated September 23, 2026, under announcement number 2026/6085. The publication is made in compliance with Article 45 of Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the common administrative procedure of public administrations.

Definitive approval and administrative process

The approval file was processed under reference 2026/X999/000100 and became definitive following the plenary agreement of September 17, 2026. The announcement was signed by the mayor, Diego Luís Díaz Méndez, in Val do Dubra on September 18, 2026, one day after the Plenary session.

• File: 2026/X999/000100
• Deciding body: Plenary of the municipal Corporation of Val do Dubra
• Date of agreement: September 17, 2026
• Publication: BOP no. 182, of September 23, 2026, Local Administration section
• Announcement number: 2026/6085

Where to consult the full document

The announcement does not reproduce the text of the plan: it is limited to publicizing the agreement and refers to the full document deposited in the municipal electronic office, accessible via the link published in the gazette itself. The PMPDIF is the municipal instrument for the prevention and defense against forest fires; therefore, its definitive approval establishes the determinations affecting forest land and preventive actions within the municipal district.

The publication in the provincial gazette is the step that provides effectiveness and general publicity to the plenary agreement, and opens the consultation channel for neighbors, forest owners, and interested entities.

Background and other decisions from the same plenary

The plenary session of September 17, 2026, was not limited to the fire plan. On the same day, the Plenary approved the City Council’s Information Security Policy, processed under file 2026/X999/000110 and published in the same issue of the gazette.

Regarding fire prevention, the council had already been incorporating specific items into the budget:

• The credit modification file 29/2026, definitively approved and published in BOP no. 173, of September 10, 2026, included among its purposes the “Civil Protection Plan against the risk of fires. Road railings and protection measures”, with an amount of 151,217.89 euros.
• The delegation resolution 618/2026, of August 11, 2026, assigns to Antonio Negreira Noya, Councilor for Infrastructure and Works, Historical Heritage, Rural Environment, and Employment, the competencies for “Fire Extinction and Prevention”.

The final approval of the PMPDIF provides Val do Dubra with a stable reference framework for fire prevention and defense, with a direct impact on forest land management and the protection measures that can be required within the municipality. For residents and owners of forest land, the approved document is available on the municipal electronic office, allowing them to learn about the determinations that affect them.
