Answer

Why are older buildings in Mallorca more vulnerable to apartment fires?

Older buildings in Mallorca can be more vulnerable when wiring, heating systems or other installations are outdated. In narrow streets and densely built neighbourhoods, a fire can also spread concern quickly and make access for emergency crews more difficult. Regular checks and basic fire-prevention measures are especially important in these homes.
