>>A small fire in a backstage area at Disneyland was quickly extinguished Thursday night, Feb. 6.
A video posted on Twitter showed flames rising above a fence near where the Jungle Cruise boats are stored. The make-believe Disneyland fire station is in the frame, to the left of the flames. Some park guests stopped to watch while an employee blocked off the area.
Anaheim Police Department Sgt. Shane Carriger said Anaheim Fire & Rescue responded just after 6 p.m. The first crew to arrive canceled the rest of the response and had the fire out within minutes, Carriger said.
It was not immediately clear what burned or how the fire started. A message was left with a Disneyland spokesperson seeking comment.<<
I just can't wait for the official response....
Edited to add response.

For whatever reason, I believe this more than the "I work at pirates" post.

Good thing those treetops behind Florida’s MK are out of Guest view! Although it’s not a common occurrence, trees have caught fire during enough fireworks shows that a team is always standing by, ready to put it out.I'm glad the small fire was extinguished, but...
It's stuff like this that just makes me laugh and laugh and reminds me why I love the Internet.
DL’s was probably due to a pillaging, plundering pirate looking for the Redhead auction.

Isn't Disneyland Fire Dept. 105 like right there? Freakin $hapek and Iger's budget cuts, won't even spend some money on a MODERN fire engine.

I'm just curious why Disney would be running a portable generator during the day?

Here’s what started Disneyland fire that closed Adventureland
The fire that erupted in a backstage area between the Disneyland Firehouse and the Emporium gift shop was quickly extinguished by Disneyland’s fire department and Anaheim Fire & Rescue.

>>A state agency that inspects amusement rides has concluded that a backstage fire that forced Disneyland to temporarily close Adventureland and caused isolated power outages in the Anaheim theme park was caused by a construction generator.
The fire that erupted in a backstage area on Feb. 6 between the Disneyland Firehouse and the Emporium gift shop was quickly extinguished by Disneyland’s fire department and Anaheim Fire & Rescue.
“The fire was related to a generator supplying power to a building,” California Division of Occupational Safety and Health spokesperson Frank Polizzi said.
The temporary generator was being used during construction, Polizzi said.
The fire burned an area of vegetation near the Jungle Cruise attraction. Disneyland officials said no visitors or employees were injured by the fire and no buildings were damaged.
Adventureland was temporarily closed to visitors after the fire. Adventureland was available to guests the next morning at park opening, Disneyland officials said.
DOSH contacted Disneyland shortly after seeing media reports about the fire, Polizzi said. DOSH decided not to investigate the Disneyland fire because it was unrelated to a ride or the maintenance of a ride, Polizzi said.
DOSH, better known as Cal/OSHA, is the state agency that inspects amusement park rides and issues operating permits for theme park attractions.<<
