Smoke in Sa Coma: Who Protects the Victims — and Who Protects the Batteries?

Answer

Why do underground garage fires affect whole apartment blocks so quickly in Mallorca?

Underground garages trap smoke, heat and fumes, so a fire can spread danger beyond the vehicle itself. In Mallorca apartment blocks, residents may have to leave quickly because smoke can move through stairwells and shared areas before people realise what is happening. Poor ventilation and tightly packed parking spaces make the situation even more difficult.
