The fire was declared around 2pm, and a total of 26 firefighters were dispatched. They were supported by five aerial units and three fire engines. The fire was classified as a potentially serious Level 1.
This incident follows a similar event in June when another fire broke out near Sa Pobla in the same area. That fire was categorised as Level 0, indicating a lower severity, and was quickly brought under control by firefighting teams.
Authorities have not yet confirmed the cause of today's fire, but precautions are in place as firefighters work to contain the flames and prevent further spread. Given the proximity to populated areas, residents are advised to stay alert and follow safety guidelines.
Alcudia Town Hall has reported that, due to the fire initially affecting Sa Pobla, the road has been closed from the Ca Na Lloreta roundabout, following the request of the local police.
A firefighting plane was still active at 6.30pm.
