This was confirmed by sources at Son Espases Hospital, where she was initially taken. Her 62-year-old husband, who also suffered smoke inhalation injuries, is in stable condition and under observation in the emergency room at Son Llàtzer Hospital. It should be noted that three people (a married couple, the husband 62 and the wife 61, and the woman's sister) were injured on Tuesday. According to information provided by SAMU 061 (the emergency medical service) and the Mallorca Fire Department, the fire, the cause of which is still unknown, broke out shortly after midnight in a house on Pare Bartomeu Pou Street. Neighbors alerted authorities after seeing fire and smoke coming from the house and reporting that there were two people inside. Police, firefighters, and paramedics were quickly mobilized. The couple was taken to Son Llàtzer and Son Espases hospitals, while their sister was treated at the scene and did not require hospitalization. According to a later statement from the Civil Guard, at approximately 12:20 a.m. on Tuesday, a patrol received a fire report and upon arrival found a man calling for help from a second-floor window, saying his wife was inside. Upon attempting to enter the apartment, the officers encountered a large accumulation of dense smoke that severely hampered visibility and breathing. After an initial attempt to control the fire with an official fire extinguisher proved insufficient, they managed to create an alternative entrance by breaking down one of the front doors.</p>]]></description>

The fire, according to the Mallorca Fire Department, broke out around 5:30 p.m. and was extinguished just under an hour later. Firefighters from the Inca and Alcúdia stations, along with the on-duty technician, were dispatched to the scene to carry out the firefighting operations. Although the fire initially appeared to be quite extensive, it ultimately only affected a storage area where hotel staff kept maintenance equipment. Firefighters from the Alcúdia station will now carry out ventilation work. The Inca firefighters have already withdrawn. </p>]]></description>

Given this adverse weather pattern, which could bring snow to the Tramuntana mountain range, experts are warning of an increased risk of house fires and reinforcing their winter campaign with recommendations for the safe use of heating systems. The fire department reminds residents that the autumn and winter months traditionally see the highest number of house fires, especially with the increased use of fireplaces, braziers, and stoves. According to data compiled by the firefighters, 2024 was the year with the most house fires in Mallorca since records began, with 502 incidents, surpassing the 484 in 2023, the 478 in 2022, and the 452 in 2021. Furthermore, in 2024, there were five fatalities in Mallorca due to house fires. This highlights the need to take extra precautions, especially among the most vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children.</p>]]></description>
