At around 2.40 pm, dark smoke rose over the Les Meravelles district after a fire suddenly started in the kitchen of the popular tourist bar.

The operators of the "German Corner" reported a "fire in the extractor hood" in a post on Facebook. They explained toMallorca Magazin that hot fat had previously ignited in a pan.

The fire in Majorca ended on a mild note: according to the operators, two people had to be taken to hospital for a "routine check-up", otherwise no one was injured.

As a result of the firefighting work by the fire department, the electrical system was also damaged, meaning that it is not possible to provide guests with food and drink for the time being: "We will do everything we can tomorrow to get our little corner back up and running as quickly as possible."

The operators expressed special thanks to their two employees, Ronny and Sheila, who kept a "cool head" in this dangerous situation and prevented the worst from happening.
