Nighttime fire in Llucmajor: pets die, questions remain

Answer

Why do pets often die in residential fires in Mallorca?

Pets often die because they panic, hide, or cannot find their way through smoke-filled spaces and narrow exits. Even when people manage to escape, animals may still be trapped inside if there is no clear evacuation plan. The problem is often made worse by missing smoke alarms or unsafe building conditions.
