The Civil Guard has arrested a 72-year-old man as the suspected perpetrator of several forest fires in the Albufera Natural Park of Mallorca, as part of Operation 'Rodes de Foc' (Wheels of Fire), launched in 2014 to investigate those responsible for the fires in the area. According to the Civil Guard, the arrest took place on Tuesday, February 10, after agents from the Nature Protection Unit of Mallorca (UPRONA) identified the individual thanks to a combination of evidence and information from the public.

The Formentera Island Council has closed an establishment located in the Natural Park until the safety deficiencies detected are corrected, in addition to the sealing of the music installation.
