Answer

Why do firefighters in Mallorca face extra risk during vegetation fires?

Vegetation fires can change quickly, especially near dry land and roadsides, so firefighters often work under pressure and in very hot conditions. In some areas, crews also have to deal with limited access, changing smoke, and the need to protect nearby roads or buildings. That makes protective equipment, training, and coordinated support especially important.
