Moment the dragon caught fire
Hopefully, it's contained quickly, no one gets hurt, and Fantasmic can resume its shows soon because it seems like the dragon will be gone for a while.

Smart for them to turn on the water screens, but wow, that plume of black-smoke is insane.

This sounds like a Bob #2 problem
Hopefully B-mode.
Depending on the damage to the surrounding stage probably determines the hiatus.
If it’s minimal damage, probably a few weeks, but if it’s major damage, they’d probably cancel it for a while, which would absolutely suck for the cast and crew, and would mean it would take even longer to start-up again since they would have to train all over again.
Really just hope everyone is okay at the moment
This individual was fighting a losing battle dangerously close to it, until they backed off, hopefully no one got hurt.
At one point a huge column of fire shot right by him, probably a hydraulic fluid line bursting, which prompted him to run off. Very very scary. Hopefully he and everyone else remained unharmed.
Probably something symbolic about a huge blaze with Splash Mountain in the background, though

I admire that Cast Member but what was he expecting fighting that huge fire with one little fire extinguisher

Someone made a mistake... they weren't supposed to do pyro tonight due to the winds.
But also, how many of these mistakes have we seen? The train station area caught on fire in NOS. The it's a small world flood. It seems like every year after covid Disneyland has had some major accident.

Why does seeing a fake robot dragon burning to death break my heart?

I guess they wanted to use Maleficent’s defeat scene really bad.

This livestream captured the whole show, fire, and evacuation
A couple seconds before it caught on fire, substantial amount of fluid was pouring down from the base of its head:
If I had to guess, the nozzle that shoots the propellant or the pipe itself burst, leading to propellant in places it shouldn’t have been, and thus, ignition where ignition shouldn’t have been.

Right? The WDW incident was heartbreaking enough. This one is so much worse to watch.

I think the dragon is toast. Done forever. I think that they will replace it with a florida "put a head and some wings on a piece of construction equipment and call it a day" dragon
