Smoke in the waste room: brief evacuation in Palmanova — what hotels should learn now

Answer

Why does a small hotel fire in Mallorca create so much smoke?

Even a small fire can produce heavy black smoke if it starts in a waste room or burns plastic, paper, or packaging. That smoke can spread quickly through ventilation shafts and stairwells, which is why a limited fire can still lead to a full evacuation. In Mallorca hotels, this makes early detection especially important.
