Why Chimney Safety Matters in Mallorca Homes
Open fireplaces and flammable sprays can create serious fire risks in Mallorca homes, especially if chimneys are poorly maintained.
Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
Why are chimney fires and explosions a concern in Mallorca homes?
Open fireplaces can create a draft that pulls in gases or vapours from nearby spaces, which becomes dangerous if a flammable product is present. In Mallorca homes, especially older buildings, poor maintenance or missing safety parts can increase the risk. A small mistake with storage or fireplace use can turn into a serious fire incident very quickly.
