Answer
Why do field fires in Mallorca spread so quickly?
Field fires in Mallorca often move fast because dry grass, scrub and roadside vegetation can act as fuel. A single spark, cigarette or piece of machinery can be enough when the ground is very dry. Open land does not have to be forested to create a serious fire problem.
