Mallorca firefighters issued recommendations on Thursday for staying warm at home safely as temperatures drop. 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.
