DISNEY’S Epcot theme park in Orlando, Florida, has caught fire and sent a huge plume of black smoke into the sky.

The blaze led to the evacuation of the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure ride as the fumes raised up near the replica Eiffel Tower.

The fire at Walt Disney World Resort on Saturday was caused by a walk-in cooler that caught alight, a representative from Disney said.

The walk-in cooler was housed behind the France Pavilion in a backstage area.

The pavilion is part of the World Showcase at the resort’s Epcot theme park.

The blaze was quickly extinguished, and there were no injuries.

The cause of the fire was not immediately known.

The official said it was quickly put out by the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District fire department.

The pavilion reopened to theme park guests in the early evening.
