Overview
- A fire that began in a third-floor apartment on Thursday morning spread upward through the nine-storey Trianon II tower and caused the deaths of two residents by asphyxia.
- Guardia Civil Criminalística has preliminarily linked the ignition to a suspected short-circuit in a refrigerator and says the apartment door was left open, which intensified the vertical movement of smoke and gases.
- Bombers de Mallorca, Policía Local, the Guardia Civil and SAMU 061 mounted a large rescue operation, firefighters entered with multiple breathing apparatus and the blaze was controlled after roughly 80 to 120 minutes.
- The building was sealed by authorities, dozens of residents were temporarily rehoused and many flats suffered heavy smoke, soot and water damage that has made immediate return impractical.
- Official injury counts differ across outlets but nine people were reported taken to hospital for inhalation; municipal authorities have declared two days of mourning and investigators continue forensic, toxicological and identification work.
