Answer

What could improve fire safety for rental properties along Playa de Palma?

Proposals include a requirement for smoke detectors and regular inspections, a central registration system for rental properties, subsidies to renew old electrical systems and install fire‑resistant materials, and multilingual notices for landlords and guests. Additional steps include safer cable routing, mandated protection measures, and regular, publicly accessible inspections in coastal towns. Local evacuation drills are also suggested to bring residents, businesses, and tourism staff together.
