zulemara is correct. A guest was looking at the castle before the fireworks show, saw smoke coming out an exhaust fan from Cinderella's restaurant and called 911. Didn't inform a CM, just called saying the castle was on fire.
Of course Disney took it seriously (who wants a fire at the castle?) and dispatched Reedy Creek. The fireworks went on because the dispatch just said "fire" and either didn't give exact location or was misheard about where. Halfway through the show, Reedy Creek appeared and told them they had to reach the Castle. Castle=fireworks fallout zone and so the fireworks were immediately stopped. Once Reedy Creek gave the all clear, the fireworks started again.
Sorry it ruined your experience but at least now you know why.

So my roommate was right then! Wow! I wonder how the guest felt after being told it was just the fire works show going off? :dazzle:

We seem to have two different stories going on here.
My girlfriend (a cast member like me) was told by a fellow cast member that she was trying to leave work at that time, and the cast member bus was halted due to a security breach. Not sure about the 911 call, it's entirely possible that these two things happened at the same time. But there was a security breach backstage, and that was at least part of the reason the fireworks were stopped.

I was in the hub before this show and my girlfriend noticed smoke coming from behind the castle. I thought it was nothing, and maybe just coming from Cinderella's Table, but I guess I was wrong!

I was there that night, me and the GF got down really close to the castle to get some good pictures, since it was our last night at WDW. We could definitely see firefighters coming out of the castle after the show was interrupted.
