Lanzarote’s fire service has came to the spot light again when a fire broke out and destroyed a warehouse near the new IKEA store in Arrecife. The blaze stretched the fire department to it’s limits and it is not the first time, the firemen ended up using a water tanker that is normally used to supply water to the various gardens in Lanzarote.
Lanzarote only has 20 full-time firemen which are supported by voluntary helpers from Cruz Roja in Arrecife and Tías.
