Watch large fire break out at Epcot in Disney World park's France pavilion: 'Oh my God, it's right there'
A large fire broke out Saturday evening at Disney World's Epcot theme park in Orlando, Fla., with a walk-in cooler igniting inside a backstage area, Entertainment Weekly has learned. The cooler was located in Epcot's France area, specifically in an employees-only section not accessible to guests. The device caught on fire and was quickly extinguished before the blaze spread further. No one was injured in the fire. Footage from the incident (below), captured by a park guest riding the Skyliner attraction, shows large black smoke billowing up from an area between the Remy's Ratatouille Adventure ride within the park's France pavilion and walkways deeper into the park's Morocco pavilion. "Oh my God, it's right there!" says a shocked onlooker in the footage which shows a large cloud of billowing black smoke and a line of orange flames.

It was followed by Disney's Hollywood Studios (which opened as the Disney-MGM Studios in 1989) and Animal Kingdom in 1998. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
