Please reassure me that Walt's Apartment over the Firehouse was not affected by the backstage fire reported on main page.

Nothing official announced yet to confirm what was and wasn't damaged, but this video shows that the fire didn't appear to be directly behind the Fire Department -- looks to be more behind the Emporium, just north of the backstage doors."Disneyland is often called a magic kingdom because
it combines fantasy and history, adventure and learning,
together with every variety of recreation and fun,
designed to appeal to everyone."

Six Flags does not allow ANY On-Ride video or pictures on the rides. The ONLY way is if you get explicit permission from Park Management." ???

From the Orange County Register article:
"A Disneyland official said an area of vegetation burned. Disneyland’s fire department and Anaheim Fire & Rescue put out the flames. Main Street remained open.
No guests or employees were injured, and no structures were damaged, the official said.
...
Anaheim Police Department Sgt. Shane Carriger said Anaheim Fire & Rescue responded just after 6 p.m. The first crew to arrive canceled the rest of the response and had the fire out within minutes, Carriger said."

This news story reminded me of a time I was visiting DL with extended family in the mid-90s. It was just after Christmas, and as part of the holiday decorations, there were 2 Christmas trees in front of the Castle -- 1 on each side of the bridge, mounted out in the water. I was in line at the churro stand in front of the castle (which is still there) with some family members when very suddenly, the tree on the right side of the bridge spontaneously burst into flame about 2/3 of the way up. It had to have been some kind of electrical fire with the lights. The poor girl working the churro stand looked at it for a few seconds then said, "Uh, I think maybe I should call somebody..." After a couple of minutes, 1 guy with a handheld fire extinguisher arrived on scene and sprayed the tree, which put out the fire. Given that the tree was over water, there was no danger to guests or structures. But it was a very memorable experience!

Glad no one was hurt (as first report indicated) and structures are okay.
Sorry if the concern read as shallow -- but Walt's apartment is an irreplacable historical site, being largely untouched from its original state. And haven't we lost enough of Walt already? -- Whether at Disneyland, on the lot, or in the absence of much of his film library from current distribution.“I love the nostalgic myself. I hope we never lose some of the things of the past.” -- Walt Disney

That could be a sketchy situation as the fire is not the main danger as much as the possibility for a stampede in which at a place like Disneyland could cause more injury from people panicking than the fire itself. Glad nobody was hurt and no structures were damaged.Disneyland Fan since the 70's
