The Benassal City Council has carried out significant improvements to its fire prevention and response infrastructure, thanks to a 23,000 euro grant from the Forest Plan.

Key actions include the complete renovation of the perimeter fence of the Ribet reservoir, which was in poor condition. Additionally, a new water loading point has been established to streamline the tasks of firefighting teams, particularly firefighters. This infrastructure is also expected to be utilized by farmers and ranchers in the future.
The project concludes with the installation of a new water intake at the Pou Nou pond, an facility that was repaired last year. This new point will enable emergency service vehicles and equipment to efficiently access water for intervention in potential forest fires.
These enhancements strengthen water access and supply within the municipality, thereby facilitating firefighter intervention during forest fire situations and bolstering the resources available for protecting Benassal's natural environment.
