Cartagena lived a quieter night than other years San Juan, though no shortage of standard containers and scrub fires, caused mainly by the release of firecrackers and other pyrotechnic devices.
According to informed sources Park Fire Hall in Cartagena 36 emergencies were handled, compared to 44 last year, perhaps motivated by the conclusion on Monday and preventive work primarily by firefighters who deployed during the previous days visiting over sixty locations of fires in the city, districts and councils.
During inspections firefighters lowered the size of many of these fires, especially those installed on Mulhacen Street in New Cartagena and behind the car dealers in the Media Room, of which several truckloads of wood were removed.
Bushland areas adjacent sites of the fires were also removed and found to be safe distances to houses and trees were respected.
The balance of registered overnight interventions yielded a total of 18 fires in containers in a trash can and a hedge of a home in New cartagena.
Ten bushfire were also recorded.
