Disney World guests had an unexpected surprise on Tuesday, when a fire broke out near Cinderella Castle.
Firefighters were quickly able to extinguish the small fire, while guests were evacuated from the castle and surrounding area. Only one injury was reported – a person who accidentally inhaled chemicals from a fire extinguisher.
Authorities say the blaze may have been caused by debris from the fireworks show that launches from the castle.
This is definitely something we have never seen in all our years of visiting The Magic Kingdom... @WDWNT @InsideTheMagic pic.twitter.com/vWR7Cdhzw5
