Answer
Why are road edges and embankments important for fire prevention in Mallorca?
Road edges and embankments can become fire corridors when dry grass and scrub are left unmanaged. In Mallorca, regular mowing and maintenance help reduce the amount of fuel available along busy routes such as the Ma-15. Well-kept roadside strips can slow a fire and make it easier for crews to control.
