Sa Coma Garage Fire Displaces Residents, 40 Apartments Sealed

Twenty-five evacuees are in tourist apartments pending a Guardia Civil investigation.

Overview

  • The blaze began around 7:30 a.m. Saturday in a car parked in the underground garage of an apartment complex on Calle Ficus in Sa Coma.
  • Medical teams treated 23 people for smoke inhalation, with four transported to Hospital de Manacor in mild condition.
  • Authorities sealed the garage and 40 apartments after water conduits and electrical wiring were burned, with a municipal architect expected to assess the building within four to five days.
  • The municipality transferred 25 displaced residents from the sports center to the BJ Europa tourist apartments, with lodging arranged through 2 January.
  • The Guardia Civil is examining possible arson as a leading hypothesis, citing the car owner’s status as a high‑risk gender‑violence victim and indications of a potential accelerant.
