Fire in Magaluf: Reality check after the deaths in an apartment complex

Answer

Why can fires be so dangerous in Magaluf apartment blocks?

In Magaluf, many apartment buildings sit close together and are used by changing groups of guests, which can make evacuation more difficult. Narrow stairs, smoke-filled corridors, and people who do not know the building all increase the risk. A fire can become especially dangerous when the property is full during the tourist season.
