A fire sparked backstage at Walt Disney World's EPCOT theme park on Saturday evening, sending a dark plume of smoke above the World Showcase, near the France Pavilion. People at or near the park flooded social media with videos and photos of the fire and smoke.

At that time, a fire broke out in the French Pavilion section of the park. All staff and patrons were quickly evacuated from both the relatively new Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and the French cafe as a result.
