Fire burns down a villa in Calvia

The incident, according to official sources, took place at around 7.30pm. A call to 112 alerted that a fire had broken out in a villa in calle Tords. The fire quickly spread through all the rooms of the property, which was burnt to the ground in just a few minutes. Several fire brigades from the Santa Ponsa fire station, which is barely a kilometre and a half away from the scene, and numerous patrols from the Calvia Local Police were sent to the location.

On entering the scene of the fire they found a woman residing in the chalet in distress. Several local police officers managed to get her out conscious, but with breathing difficulties. A medicalised ambulance took her to Son Espases. Half an hour later the flames were put out. The Guardia Civil has taken charge of the investigation into the incident.
