A fire broke out on Friday morning in Disneyland Resort's Pixar Pals parking structure, damaging several vehicles and prompting a rapid response from local firefighters. The incident occurred on the fifth floor of the popular parking facility, sending plumes of black smoke visible across the resort area.
Emergency Response and Firefighting Challenges
The Anaheim Fire Department received emergency calls just before 10 a.m. reporting a vehicle fire in the multi-level parking structure. Upon arrival, firefighters discovered that a Toyota RAV4 had caught fire, with flames spreading to several nearby vehicles.
Fire crews faced significant technical obstacles during their response:
Water pressure issues within the parking structure
The necessity to manually run hoses up stairwells to reach the fifth floor
Containing the spread of fire in the enclosed parking environment
Despite these challenges, firefighters successfully extinguished the blaze with no reported injuries to parkgoers, employees, or emergency responders.
Extent of Damage and Investigation of Fire in Disneyland
The fire damaged approximately four to five vehicles in total, with the Toyota RAV4 identified as the point of origin. Contrary to some early social media speculation suggesting Tesla involvement, official reports confirmed the fire began in the RAV4.
Social Media Documentation and Public Reaction
The incident quickly gained attention on social media platforms, particularly X (formerly Twitter), where numerous visitors and onlookers shared images and videos of the scene. User @iAnonPatriot posted visuals showing:

Crowds of onlookers gathered outside the affected area
Public reactions online ranged from concern to speculation about the cause, with some users attempting to connect the incident to broader political commentary.
Impact on Park Operations
While the fire caused alarm among visitors, there were no immediate reports of significant disruptions to Disneyland Resort operations. As of Friday afternoon, Disneyland representatives had not issued an official statement regarding the incident or any potential impact on park activities.
The Pixar Pals parking structure, a relatively new addition to the resort's infrastructure, typically accommodates thousands of vehicles daily from visitors to both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure.
Investigators are continuing to examine the evidence to determine the exact cause of the fire that sparked in the Toyota RAV4.
