A fire broke out at Disney's Epcot theme park in Orlando, Florida on Saturday afternoon sending crowds fleeing in panic.
Thick black smoke could be seen billowing into the sky backstage at the park's French Pavilion.
Authorities say the incident happened when a walk-in cooler suddenly caught fire and led to the evacuation of the 'Remy's Ratatouille Adventure' ride.
The fire took place during Spring Break, one of the busiest few weeks of the year.
Disney say the fire was extinguished shortly afterwards but social media has several videos showing smoke rising into the sky.
Authorities said no one was injured in the fire.

I wonder if it’s the “new refrigerant” that I heard is flammable. They want this in all new residential AC systems.

I thought it was those family hating liberals again. Fire seems to be everywhere these days.

EPCOT is one of four main theme parks that make up Disney World. The others include Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and, of course, Magic Kingdom (which many people think of as “Disney World”.)
