Mallorca garage fire: 21 treated, woman arrested

Mallorca garage fire: 21 people need treatment for smoke inhalation as flames force more than 80 from a building in sa Coma, in the municipality of Sant Llorenç des Cardassar. The fire began in a parked car on the morning of 27 December 2025 and spread to other vehicles. On Tuesday, the Civil Guard arrested a woman suspected of starting it.

More than 80 forced out

Many people were asleep in their homes when the fire spread through the garage. Mallorca firefighters, local police and the Civil Guard got more than 80 people out. Paramedics treated 21 for smoke inhalation.

The building was sealed off. Its occupants slept elsewhere for several days while the risks from the damage were assessed.

Clues inside the car

After examining the garage and the car where the fire began, forensic investigators concluded that someone had started it deliberately. They say the fire began inside the vehicle, using accelerants, a pile of paper and an aerosol can with a valve altered to release its contents continuously.

The car doors were open but showed no signs of being forced. Investigators say that points to the use of the original key, which the car’s owner held. The woman was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.
