Answer

Is it safe to swim or go out after a fire in Palma?

A fire can leave heavy smoke, soot and a strong smell in the surrounding area, but that does not automatically mean a wider safety problem for the whole city. If you are nearby, it is sensible to follow police cordons, avoid the smoke-affected area and wait for official advice before returning to normal routines. In most cases, the immediate concern is the fire scene itself rather than the rest of Palma.
