The Mallorca Firefighters worked this Thursday to evacuate a total of 29 passengers from a train on the Palma to Manacor line due to flooding on the tracks.
A total of eight firefighters from the Manacor station are assisting in the evacuation of the passengers, who, according to Mallorca Firefighters, are in good condition, with no injuries reported.
The train, stopped near Petra, was unable to continue as the tracks have been flooded due to the heavy rains and storms caused by the DANA in Mallorca. Serveis Ferroviaris de Mallorca (SFM) has reported that the infrastructure between Sineu and Manacor has been affected, leading to a temporary suspension of service on this section.
Additionally, the firefighters responded to eight incidents this morning, most of them due to flooding and fallen trees on the roads. They have been active in Felanitx, Manacor, Sencelles, Soller, and other municipalities.
