Cast Members Extinguish Small Fire Near EPCOT’s France Pavilion

Overview

• A small fire ignited on top of a display crate behind Les Vins des Chefs de France in EPCOT’s World Showcase, as seen in a TikTok video by user @disneycass84.
• Culinary Cast Members used a fire extinguisher to put out the flames while two additional Cast Members arrived by boat to assist.
• No injuries were reported, and the blaze was contained quickly without broader operational impact.
• The cause has not been officially determined, with some social-media speculation about a discarded cigarette despite Disney’s park-wide smoking ban.
• Earlier incidents this year included a March fire in a walk-in cooler behind the pavilion and a May popcorn-cart fire, both extinguished with no injuries reported.
