PalmThe 61-year-old woman who suffered burns and smoke inhalation in a house fire in Algaida on Tuesday was airlifted to Vall d'Hebron Hospital in Barcelona. 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.

Once inside, they located the man on the balcony of the master bedroom and evacuated him with the assistance of the emergency medical services. Later, after learning that the woman was in the bathroom at the end of the hallway, the officers again attempted to enter, but were forced to leave the apartment due to the intensity of the smoke and the risk to their safety, following the firefighters' instructions.

Upon the arrival of the fire crew, they continued the search and located the woman, who was suffering from burns of varying severity, multiple cuts, and smoke inhalation. They treated her. in situ Emergency medical services stabilized her before transferring her to a hospital. The man was treated for smoke inhalation, minor burns, and various other injuries, but he was conscious and in stable condition.
