Epcot fire Response

[ChristianDiMarzio]

YESSS!!! BURN!!!

[jasmin8ter2010]

Worst thing that could ever happen at a theme park: a fire! A fire in a building!

[Tonytambe]

What damn ride was on fire now?

[rmayer61]

what was on fire

[happyhippiee420]

did the their fire alarm go off?

[rossrules6869]

by the time the trucks got in there, the park would be in flames..

[kittylovefromlilster]

omg that is bad...

[ONEzephyer]

Obviously it's controlled and just a drill even though they don't tell anyone it is. They would be movin a lot faster and a lot more units would be there as it's a actual park

[FireExplorerPC]

@ONEzephyer No this is real, my friends dad works for this dept and he was driving the Tower.

[flames41418]

@ONEzephyer there was a small fire behind the stage at epcot.

[ColtonJProvias]

@ONEzephyer This is real. The trucks are moving that slowly because there are still children around and they can run into a danger zone pretty quickly.

[TheLuke843]

every1 rush to put out the fire (sarcasim)

[charlesfootballrules]

its still on fire

[Daniel2131990]

The Fire Trucks in green are so lame they should be traditional red.

[demondragon45]

@Daniel2131990 dude the trucks are yellow not green

[Ehiguy102]

suicide bomb?

[GrandFunker]

LAME!! You can't even see any fire!!

[smpman100]

ok you go and run up to it and get arrested!

[Fishinscout]

I was there as well. It was a fire in an electrical duct. I don't know what started it, but it got into a tunnel that led to a transformer so they couldn't get water on the fire until the power was shut off. Reedy Creek didn't call the entire department into the park for practice either. They needed every one of the firefighters that were there. They spent half the night chasing the fire through the tunnels and walls of the building.

[FWSECMEPCOT]

i work there! that is in future world of EPCOT. the fire was by club cool.

[CHICABORICUAPR]

@FWSECMEPCOT ACTUALLY WAS IN FRONT OF THE FOUNTAIN!!! UNDER THE STAGE!!! I'M A EPCOT CAST MEMBER TOO!!!

[DRUMCORPKID19]

Oh cute, disneys got fire truck themed parade cars now lol.

[EpcotIsMyHome]

I meant wear not where. sorry.

[EpcotIsMyHome]

She's just a coordinator. I used to work there(FWS) and managers don't where costumes. Actually I know exactly who she is, but I won't say her name on here for her own privacy. Unless there is another lady in blue that I missed! haha :D

[MBRPP]

I Believe I know who she is as well.... If I'm not mistaken. lol. I work for Kim Possible.

[hannahhazlehurst]

what ride or place in epcot was the fire??

[FWSECMEPCOT]

that was over by club cool!

[stadalberts]

Wow, there's a scene you don't see too often at WDW

[trendiefishie89]

Woo hoo! The lady in blue directing traffic is my manager! This really was not a big deal. And yes most of the firefighters were there for practice, but it got down in the tunnels underneath the property.

[FWSECMEPCOT]

which lady in blue??? there are a ton of them?

[pandaranda]

I was there.I work at EPCOT. It was not an electrical fire. They were doing construction and one of the 3rd party workers (aka not a diseny cast member) tossed a burning cigarette into a trash can inside inoventions. It really was not that big of a deal but reedy creek (Disney's fire department) used it as a practice.

[BaTWING2000]

I SERIOUSLY doubt that Disney is gonna use a thrash can fire to 'practice' in the middle of open park hours like this. Incidents in theme parks are dealth with quickly and as low key as possible. Believe me, if this would've been a safety practice, ALL of central florida news stations would've broadcast it to show the world: "DISNEY WILL BE DOING A SAFETY EXERCISE TODAY AT EPCOT. THEY HOLD THEME SAFETY AS #1 PRIORITY!!"

[FWSECMEPCOT]

i don't doubt that they used it as practice. There aren't that many fires at Disney...so they need all the practice they can get. And yes safety is our number one priority! Disney doesn't tell you everything. I work there...and i don't even know about half the stuff that goes on!

[KaTieZCrAZyCasTZ]

@FWSECMEPCOT They keep some stuff secret so more people will come and not be afraid. Like how the It's a Small World dolls are really demons out for your flesh and blood and they feed on other peoples torture. How's that so? The redundant theme song.

But I agree. A lot of stuff happens that we don't even know about.

[Movens1]

theres 3 Full fire stations at Walt disney world and small EMT sections in each park

[muffles12]

how fire caught at disney world ? just small fire broke out

[woodencoasterfan]

Those Fire Fighters must have been from the Reedy Creek fire station. Interestingly enough, that's the only fire station on Disney Property. You caught a real jem.

[nate4270]

Hate to correct you but Reedy Creek has 4 stations on Disney property. One behind the Magic Kingdom, One by Downtown Disney, one behind EPCOT, and one Behind the Mc Donald's by Animal Kingdom. It was rare however to see the engine in the park.

[rondadams]

Very Interesting. Good thing it wasn't a big fire, because at the speed they were traveling, it could've been devastating.

[smcmac32]

Yeah, it could have been a mess had they just flown into the park at high speed without warning to the park goers..... Lives can't be replaced.... rides or other equipment can be replaced.

[mike122448]

No not the fountain i love the fountain. I hope that stage burned down.

[piratepumpkin]

Wow, you don't see that every day! Thanks for posting. Really interesting to see how this kind of thing is handled.

[josephlesquivel]

what did you film this with?

[princesskelz2011]

thats something you dont see everyday!

thanks for posting that.

[kdrozdowski]

Thanks for posting this! We were watching Hotel California all evening and saw this as we were walking out at 9pm. And yes, Illuminations did go off at 9pm.

[micsaund]

What building? Any other details on what specifically was on fire?

[Sumshine904]

The fire was located near the west end of the Fountain of Nations.

[remembertmagic]

Did illuminations go off at 9 or was there a delay?

[Lulz839]

lol @ the music still playing.

[rollercoastersrock]

@Lulz839 I don't see why it wouldn't.

[Lulz839]

@rollercoastersrock It's just funny because it's rather contrary to the situation at hand.

[rollercoastersrock]

@Lulz839 That's true.

[MickeyDent]

Wow, Disney is really trying to cut corners on the electrical parades huh?

[disneyFREAK242]

that's pretty sweet... is it just me, or does Disney have problems with fire lately?... ouch... 2 in Epcot in the last year too!!! And then the MK catching a Fantasmic flame... and I think Rock 'n' Roller Coaster had a small fire on the top of it's building recently also... haha.. good job disney!!!! I still love disney though... my username says so basically...

[GrandmaSw]

We were there - right before the fireworks started and there was a lot of smoke from the bldg.

[TexasDisney]

What building was the fire in?
