A major upgrade of the Mallorca Fire Service fleet will take place in 2026, with almost €8 million earmarked for the purchase of around thirty new vehicles. An additional €5 million will be invested in the new fire station in Santanyí, currently under construction.

Among the new units, a standout acquisition is a multi-purpose vehicle equipped with three interchangeable containers designed for different types of emergencies:

• a 6,000-litre water tank for large firefighting operations,
• a container for rescue, search missions and structural shoring,
• and another designed for immersing electric vehicles that have caught fire.

The fleet expansion also includes two light urban fire engines, a tanker truck with a 12,000-litre capacity, and 14 vans assigned to logistics, maintenance and support tasks.

Mallorca allocates nearly €8 million to renew its Fire Service vehicle fleet

At the same time, a renewal plan will begin for vehicles over 15 years old, supported by a €5 million budget. This programme will replace ageing urban and rural fire engines and several rescue vehicles, to modernise the fleet and strengthen emergency response capabilities across the island.

The new fire station in Santanyí —the ninth in the island’s network— will operate with a permanent team of one officer and three firefighters, and will be equipped with various specialised vehicles. Its commissioning will significantly reduce response times in the southern area of Mallorca.

The Minister of Treasury, Innovation and Public Function, Rafel Bosch, stressed the importance of providing firefighters with “the best resources” and ensuring a “first-class emergency service”.

The Fire Service will also acquire specialised gear for major incidents, valued at €450,000, along with updated intervention uniforms costing €240,000.
