Answer
What makes S'Albufera so vulnerable to fire?
S'Albufera is a wetland, but its reeds, dry edges, and nearby agricultural land can still catch fire quickly. When hot, dry weather combines with wind and human carelessness, even a small ignition point can spread fast. Because the area is ecologically sensitive, the damage can be significant even when the burned surface is limited.
