The mayor of Manacor, Miquel Oliver, provided an update on Tuesday regarding the condition of the house on Sant Francesc Street, in the Barracar neighborhood, which was damaged in a fire last Thursday and claimed the life of 18-year-old Miguel Ángel Florez. Oliver explained that after initial technical work, the focus is on shoring up the area of ​​the second slope where the tragedy occurred, "so that we can prepare new reports for the judge handling the case and know at each stage what the next steps will be." "We need to remove the remaining rubble to gather more information about what might have happened." The mayor also addressed the condition of the two neighboring houses at number 6 Sant Francesc Street. According to the Mallorca Fire Department, one of them is not at risk of structural damage. The other, the one closest to where the roof and part of the first floor collapsed, will remain closed for a few more days. "Its occupants have been able to go live with relatives and are doing well. They are nervous because they don't know exactly when they will return, but at the same time reassured because a thorough inspection will be carried out. In fact, the insurance company has already been there."

The building that caught fire early Thursday morning on San Francisco Street in Manacor, resulting in the death of 18-year-old Miguel Ángel Florez, had never undergone a mandatory building inspection (ITH). According to sources at the Manacor City Council, there is no record in any registry that the property owner had ever had the inspection carried out. In the municipality of Manacor, this inspection became mandatory in 2015, and within the first year, it stipulated that all homes over 50 years old must be inspected by specialized companies.
