A major renewal of the Mallorca Fire Service vehicle fleet is planned for 2026, with almost €8 million allocated to the purchase of nearly thirty new units. An additional €5 million will fund the new fire station in Santanyí, whose construction began earlier this year.

One of the most notable additions will be a multi-purpose unit equipped with three interchangeable containers, allowing it to adapt to various emergency scenarios:

• a 6,000-litre tank for large-scale fires,
• a rescue and structural support module,
• and a container designed to submerge burning electric vehicles.

The fleet modernisation also includes two light urban fire engines, a 12,000-litre tanker, and 14 vans assigned to logistics, warehouse operations, infrastructure maintenance and fleet upkeep.

Nearly €8 Million to Be Invested in Upgrading Mallorca’s Fire Service Vehicle Fleet

A vehicle renewal plan will also start in 2026 to replace units older than 15 years, backed by a €5 million budget. The plan will cover four light urban engines, three heavy rural engines and several rescue vans, ensuring the service has modern, reliable equipment for emergency response.

The new Santanyí fire station, the ninth on the island, will have a permanent crew consisting of a chief officer and three firefighters. Its creation will help reduce response times in the northern area of Mallorca. The station will be equipped with a heavy rural engine, a light urban engine and an off-road vehicle.

The Minister for Finance, Innovation and Public Administration, Rafel Bosch, emphasised the commitment to strengthening emergency services: “Our goal is to ensure Mallorca’s firefighters have the best tools available and that residents can rely on a top-tier emergency service.”

Additionally, the fire service will acquire €450,000 worth of first-response equipment for large-scale emergencies in adverse weather, alongside a €240,000 investment to renew protective intervention clothing.
