MALLORCA TODAY - Mississippi burning: Fire in Alcúdia

The Mississippi Apartments in Puerto Alcúdia had to be evacuated this morning when a fire which broke out on the sixth floor initially caused panic with occupants finding it difficult to escape from the building. The fire which broke out just before 3am this morning destroyed the flat in which it originated and damaged surrounding apartments. The fire was attended by crew and equipment from Alcúdia, Inca, Manacor and Calvia. No one was seriously affected by the fire which is believed to have been started deliberately.
