Answer

What makes house fires in rural Mallorca harder for firefighters to control?

Rural fires can be harder to manage because buildings may be farther apart, water access can be more limited, and windy conditions can help flames spread. In places like Llucmajor, firefighters also need to protect nearby businesses and properties quickly before the situation grows.
