I just got back to my hotel room after leaving Epcot and decided to post about this. Around 8:30pm tonight they had an electrical fire occur next to the Fountain of Nations. They shut off power to it and some of the buildings near it including the Pin Trading Station. The fire department was called and responded with two fire trucks. You could see the smoke and smell it. This occurred on the west side of the fountain. I will post a link to the video once I get it uploaded to Youtube.

Well I didn't start the fire.
(In addition, I did NOT light it, and indeed: Tried to fight it.)

Hey, I'm working alone. If you know of some group of multiple people who did or did not start this fire, speak your peace.
(Honestly? If you ask me I think it's always been burning...perhaps since the world's been turning? I'm just not ready to make that assumption yet.)

Interesting,
It must kill their response time to have to travel that slow though the park.

I was there as well around 9pm. There were a couple of fire trucks and an ambulance. Lots of CM's were blocking off the area and the area to the Left of SSE (if you are facing the exit) since they shut the power off over there. I overheard something about it having to do with an A/C unit. The fire was in the area behind Club Cool.

Sheesh...I heard about this via phone in the middle of a movie (Transformers...sucked...:lookaroun) and I'll admit, it scared me. Hope it's not too bad.
Maybe they can burn down the tarps?:lookaroun:lol:

Wow, I literally left Epcot just a few hours before this happened... Hopefully nothing was damaged and everyone is ok.

Tsk, had I been there I'd have done Disney a little favour and put it out. Electrical fires, hmmm, all smoke and not much fire and a liberal dosing of dry powder would have sorted it as it doesn't seem to have been much at all.
No point tearing my Orlando brethren away from their supper if I can help it at all. By the way, in my opinion (I hate abbreviations) Fire Engines look better in red, pillar box red to be precise. :animwink:
