Woman falls from burning apartment in Palma

The incident occurred at a building on Calle Àngel Guimerà in Palma. The fire is believed to have been caused by a candle that the woman had lit. Her fall, according to police sources, was accidental and happened as a result of her trying to avoid the smoke and blaze. She fell onto a parked car.

Her parents suffered mild smoke inhalation. Various neighbours were also affected, as were an off-duty Palma police officer and a National Police officer who went to the scene. The building was evacuated, and there were some 100 hundred people on the streets.
