Alarm Level 4 in the Balearic Islands: Why Every Spark Counts Now

Answer

What should I avoid doing in Mallorca when wildfire risk is at the highest level?

Avoid anything that could create a spark or heat source, including barbecues, agricultural burning, and parking on dry grass. Cigarettes, hot exhausts, and blocked access roads can also become dangerous in very dry conditions. Small precautions matter more than usual when the islands are at maximum alert.
