Have you got any fire hazard and fire control advice?

Today in Mallorca we are having a festival, it is the day of the devil, aka the day of St. Anthony.
Today is the longest night of the year. According to legend and tradition, the nights are getting longer and longer because Satan is trying to destroy our crops so that we starve.
Later tonight, when it gets dark, the town people will take to the streets, and light about 50 to 100 large fires, between 1 meter and 5 meters in height, they will bang pots and pans, and generally make loud noises to “scare the devil away”, so that our crops are saved.
Seeing as most of the town is going to look like a flaming war zone, it is probably wise to brush up on fire safety.
So, what fire safety advice do you have?
