A fire erupted at Disney World’s Epcot theme park in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday evening, causing panic among guests and prompting evacuations. The blaze originated around 7:20 PM in a backstage area of the France Pavilion, near the popular Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure ride.
Thick black smoke and visible flames alarmed visitors, many of whom captured the incident on video. Park officials quickly cleared the area, ensuring guest safety while firefighters worked to contain the fire. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the affected section of the park was reopened later in the evening.
The fire occurred during Epcot’s International Flower & Garden Festival, a peak season for visitors. Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the blaze, and Disney has yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident.
