SIX tourists have been taken to hospital and more than 30 treated at the scene after a hotel fire in Majorca.
Around 600 people were evacuated from the three-star Hotel whala!beach in Playa de Palma after the blaze broke out in a room just after 5am this morning.
All six floors of the building had to be emptied.
As well as holidaymakers, a firefighter is also understood to have been treated for heat exhaustion.
It was not immediately clear this morning if any Brits were among those affected.
The hotel is in an area of Majorca which is most popular with German tourists although it received good reviews online by British holidaymakers who have stayed there in the past.
A receptionist at the hotel this morning said he was unable to offer any detailed information on the nationalities of the guests who had been evacuated and those that were taken to hospital.
HUNDREDS EVACUATED
A spokeswoman for a regional emergency services coordination centre confirmed: “Six people were taken to hospital, five after suffering smoke inhalation and the sixth person with burns.
“Another 30 people received medical attention at the scene.”
She said she was unable to offer any information on the nationalities of those affected.
The blaze is understood to have started in a first-floor room. An investigation was today underway into the cause.
