There was a small fire tonight at Seven Dwarfs Mine Train mountain, most likely caused by fireworks. It's out now. No reports of injuries.

No injuries have been reported. All guests on board the Mine Train were evacuated when the fire started, and now the ride is closed.
See you all real soon.
***UPDATE***
There has been no structure collapse, and guests are now being allowed back into the queue.
@DisCastShow they're letting guests back into the queue. No collapse, only cosmetic damages
