The Mallorca Fire Brigade, deployed to Ibiza last Tuesday to assist with emergency operations after severe flooding, returned to the island on Thursday evening.
The team arrived at 9:45 p.m. at the Port of Palma (Pelaires Dock), where they were welcomed by Llorenç Galmés, President of the Consell de Mallorca, and Joan Fornàs, the Island Director of Emergencies.

Over the course of four days, the firefighters worked closely with Ibiza’s emergency services, focusing their efforts on pumping water from homes, basements, hotels, and public service offices using electric pumps and rescue equipment.
