Fire Erupts at Disney World’s EPCOT in Florida, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Ride Evacuated | Video
A fire erupted backstage at Walt Disney World, forcing the evacuation of one ride and sending dramatic plumes of black smoke into the Orlando sky, according to local reports Sunday.
No one was injured in the Saturday evening blaze, which started in a walk-in cooler in an employees-only area, according to local outlets Fox 35 and Click Orlando. Several people took video of the billowing smoke, video of which you can see above.
The fire started around 7:20 p.m. in EPCOT’s France Pavilion, according to the reports. The popular ride “Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure” was evacuated because of the smoke and flames, but had since re-opened Sunday.
A cause of the fire had not been disclosed.
Guests began posting photos and videos of the fire just after 7 p.m. during a busy time at the park, with spring break in session across many parts of the state and country. A representative for Disney told FOX 35 that the fire was extinguished quickly, and people nearby were evacuated backstage or away from the Paris area.
