Answer

How serious is smoke inhalation after a fire?

Smoke inhalation can be dangerous even when burns are minor, because it affects breathing and can worsen quickly. In the Palma fire on Alfons el Magnànim, a 65-year-old woman was taken to Son Espases with smoke inhalation, which shows why medical checks matter after exposure. Anyone who has breathed in smoke should be assessed promptly, especially older adults or people with existing health problems.
