The forest fire on Tuesday in the Son Fe area of Alcudia affected some five hectares of pine wood. It was caused by a controlled burning, an unfortunate explanation as there clearly wasn’t adequate control. And no surprise, given the wind. Why was there this burning? It’s not as if there hadn’t been a forecast for strong winds. And it is as well that Ibanat and the fire brigade contained the fire as effectively as they did. The wind grew even stronger; it could have been far worse than five hectares.
