Last week's small fire at the Castle

[SoarinRules]

I haven't seen anything posted here about last week's small fire at Cinderella Castle. Does anybody know how/why it started? It was last Tuesday at around 2:30. One of the spires on the righthand side of the castle was on fire (flames and everything!). Within a few minutes, we saw somebody up there with a hose putting it out. Couldn't have been more than a few minutes in duration (although I didn't see when it started).

Was it just after a show? Sounds like the pyro might have accidentally set something on fire...

The Castle stage show has been running at 12:45, 1:45, 4:35, 6:15, and 7:35. It is possible if the show had been running a little late (closer to 2) that it could have had something to do with a pyro, but this is the first I am hearing of all this.

Could there be such a thing as a small fire at the castle? I would think it would be big news, especially around this site.

I blame meg.

Didn't see the show so I don't know what time that started.

I have a video of the fire (admittedly not a great one), but I have no idea how to post it here. If anybody can give me some step by step instructions, I will do that tomorrow.

Probably smoking in the room they keep all the cash in that they are stealing from all the monorail resort and lifetime mug owner guests.

Or it could just be another troll. That's a big bit of news for a first time poster.

Maybe they were testing out the fire effect for that Tom Sawyer Island house.

I'm surprised there was no announcement put out on the Disney CM website about this. Normally there are announcements and/or e-mails about any incident that would cause guests to come asking questions. Just to keep us informed.

I'm not a CM in the resort right now so it could have been a word of mouth thing but it just seemed strange to me....

Not a troll, just a long-time lurker who had a comment. I posted my video to Youtube. Here it is. As you can see, the fire is minor, and my original post about it being on a spire was wrong.

I'm no fire expert but it looked like it was going pretty strong.

Cindy is going to have to stop smoking in bed.
