MALLORCA TODAY - Rain helps to douse Albufera fire


A fire that broke out in a reed bed in the area of Son Sant Martí at the edge of the Albufera wetlands and off the road between Can Picafort and Muro was brought under control after some four hours, thanks in part to rain that had been anticipated all day. The fire started at around 19:45 yesterday evening.

Some 100 hectares of mainly reed and grass land are said to have been affected by the fire.
