Ibiza faced a harrowing afternoon as three fires broke out simultaneously in Santa Eulària, Jesús, and Sant Josep. The succession of blazes prompted the mobilization of approximately twenty Consell d’Eivissa firefighters, along with Ibanat brigades and two aerial resources.

Fire Chain Unleashed

The first fire erupted near Calle Falcó in Jesús around 4.30 pm, igniting an area of agricultural land. Firefighters and Ibanat brigades swiftly responded, aided by helicopter support. The flames consumed an estimated 11,000 square meters before being contained.

Flames Spread to Santa Eulària

Shortly after, another fire was reported at a property near Es Figueral highway’s kilometer 8 in Santa Eulària. Originating from a tools house, the fire spread to nearby agricultural land. Firefighters battled the blaze while an Ibanat helicopter tackled the vegetation fire.

Agricultural Fire in Sant Josep

The chain of fires continued with an agricultural blaze near ses Salines in Sant Josep. Off-duty firefighters were called in to address the emergency. The flames engulfed approximately 6,000 square meters of agricultural land along Gallineta d’aigua street. Firefighters, Ibanat brigades, and two aerial resources collaborated to combat the fire.

These simultaneous fires created a challenging situation for emergency responders, but their swift action prevented further damage and ensured public safety.
