A SMALL fire broke out at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Florida last night and one person was injured, according to reports.
A tree caught fire near the Cinderella Castle, which may have been caused by debris from the nightly fireworks display.
Fire officials told WESH 2 that a person was treated at the scene for minor injuries, after inhaling chemicals from a fire extinguisher.
It was reported by wdwnt.com that the person who was injured was a security guard, with firefighters called at 6.45pm local time.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, the fire was started on a junction box outside Cinderella Castle which then spread to a tree nearby.
The Cinderella Castle and surrounding areas were evacuated as firefighters extinguished the blaze.
The Reedy Creek Professional Firefighters were in attendance and tweeted after the event.
