Disney World fire may have sprung from fireworks debris
LAKE BUENA VISTA (AP) — A small fire at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom started in a tree and may have been caused by fireworks debris, officials said Wednesday.
The blaze broke out Tuesday after fireworks were set off near the Cinderella Castle, Reedy Creek Fire Association president Jon Shirey told WESH-TV. The castle and surrounding areas were evacuated.
Disney workers quickly extinguished the flames and escorted first responder trucks down Main Street, Shirey said.
He said the only injury involved a person who accidentally inhaled chemicals from a fire extinguisher. The person was treated at the scene.
