Sa Coma Garage Fire Displaces Dozens, 40 Apartments Sealed Pending Safety Review

Local authorities moved 25 evacuees from a sports hall to nearby tourist apartments pending a decision on when they can return.

Overview

  • Firefighters say the blaze began around 7:25–7:30 in an underground communal garage on Calle Ficus and was declared under control by about 9:30.
  • Medical teams treated 23 people for smoke inhalation, with four transported in mild condition to Hospital de Manacor.
  • Authorities sealed roughly 40 flats and the parking area after burned water conduits and electrical wiring cut services and raised structural-safety concerns.
  • The municipality rehoused the 25 people previously staying at the Sa Coma sports hall in the BJ Europa tourist complex until 2 January.
  • The Guardia Civil is leading the investigation into the cause, and local reports identify the vehicle involved as a Toyota C‑HR hybrid that was later removed as a precaution.
