Last night, a fierce Platja d’en Bossa fire ravaged multiple seaside restaurants near Ushuaïa. It broke out around 2:15 am, prompting a swift evacuation of upper‑floor apartments. Emergency teams quelled the blaze just before dawn.

What Happened

Local security guards first spotted flames and helped evacuate three staircases—each with about 20 apartments. Dense smoke reached the second floor, but no structural collapse occurred. Residents returned by 6:30 am.

Casualties & Damage

• No serious injuries.
• Five people treated for mild smoke inhalation.
• One firefighter suffered minor burns from hot frying oil.
• Restaurants S’Espardell and Sa Sal, plus a social club, are fully destroyed. Upper apartments suffered smoke and soot damage; nearby palm trees and sun loungers also burnt.

Investigation & Causes

Preliminary footage suggests the Platja d’en Bossa fire began on a restaurant terrace. Firefighters note that although they meet safety regulations, flammable terrace materials and sea breeze ignite such disasters. The official cause remains unconfirmed pending investigation.

Aftermath

By 6:30 am residents were back home. Key officials—including the mayor, fire chief, urban planning head, and environment staff—inspected the scene to evaluate damage.

Conclusion

The Platja d’en Bossa fire struck at a peak moment in one of Ibiza’s busiest zones. Yet, thanks to rapid action by staff, emergency services, and volunteers, injuries were limited. Authorities now focus on understanding the origin and preventing future incidents.
