Fuel vapors on a finca: a deadly spark near Pollenca
How finca owners can lower the risk of fuel fires

Answer
How can Mallorca finca owners reduce the risk of a fuel fire?
Owners can reduce the risk by storing containers in clearly marked areas, keeping them away from repair work, and separating spark-producing tasks from storage zones. It also helps to label containers properly, remove old fuel drums, and make sure everyone on the property knows what not to do. Good organization matters as much as the tools themselves.
