News quickly broke that a car had caught fire on level five, the Finding Nemo section, of the Pixar Pals Parking Structure. Three or four vehicles were reportedly involved, although it remains unclear how the first car–a Kia Sportage SUV–ignited.
First responders arrived on the scene quickly, though initial reports suggested they struggled to find enough water to extinguish the blaze. They eventually extinguished the fire, and guests weren’t allowed in the Pixar Pals Parking Structure as the damage was assessed.
Luckily, no one was injured. However, smoke damage was visible on the Pixar Pals Parking Structure in the hours after the incident, and guests who visited the 5th level noticed the area impacted by the fire was blocked with caution tape.
On Tuesday, Disneyland Resort began repairing the area damaged by the fire. According to WDWNT, beige construction walls now surround the area on the fifth floor. Poles outside the construction walls are still wrapped in caution tape, and bright orange traffic cones prevent guests from parking anywhere near the damaged area.
Disney Park guests also noticed large industrial fans running near one of the parking garage’s edges, likely ventilating the areas that still smelled a bit like fire. Parts of the concrete roof, floor, and support structures are substantially darker than others, stained from the blaze.
Disneyland Resort guests can still park in most of the Pixar Pals Parking Structure as crews repair the damage. The fire did not impact other parts of Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, or Downtown Disney.
