Eight cars suffered major damage in a fire that broke out in the Mickey and Friends parking structure at the Disneyland Resort earlier this evening. Seven people were treated for minor smoke inhalation, with four transported to area hospitals, according to the Anaheim fire department.
The Anaheim fire department responded to a car fire in the structure around 4:40 p.m. Monday evening, and reported that the fire was out around 5:35 p.m. The parking structure was evacuated, and Disney temporarily halted tram service to the structure. Disneyland visitors trying to get to the parking structure were directed to walk through Downtown Disney, and then held in the Pinocchio parking lot until the parking structure could be inspected.
Shortly after 7:00 p.m., Disneyland reported that all except the second floor Daisy level of the parking structure had reopened so visitors could retrieve their cars.
The Anaheim fire department has put an initial damage estimate at $180k, and says four of the burned vehicles are a total loss. The cause of the blaze is under investigation, but the department says no foul play is suspected.

I saw a photo of Cast Members outside, and the caption implied they had parked at M&F.
I know it was the biggest parking structure (in the US?) when it was built - but I didn't think it was big enough that CMs parked there.

Do they know the source? Heard a car or a vent. Just glad no one got hurt as in burns etc.
I would think it was a car. Here is a link with some info and there is also another in the story with video.

Thank you! It does have a bit more!
"Preliminary investigation of the incident has pointed to two vehicles, a 2015 Toyota Prius and a 2001 Ford Expedition, as the possible source of the fire, Wyatt said."

Has the structure been in use since the fire, or have they been using only Toy Story lot?
Interesting. I'm pretty sure that a 2001 Expedition would have been included as part of the big 2006 recall that Ford did because of spontaneous engine fires (we had a family friend whose pickup caught fire because of the cruise control switch, the exact reason for the recall and subsequent class-action suit).

This is how I interpreted it as well, since they posted online that anyone arriving the rest of the day would be sent to Toy Story Lot.
I figure these structures are built to withstand such things, but always good to know for sure before arriving and experiencing the detour

Not sure how they scetion the floors on the parking structure, but section 5 and 6 were the last two that were closed on Daisy when they did the last update on Twitter Monday night. I would think those will stay closed until they can get a crew in there to wash everything down and repaint the stalls.

I wonder which vehicle it was, or maybe even both. There is a recall on the 2015 Toyota Prius about items in the cargo area hitting the wiring to the subwoofer back there. The wire comes loose and touches something else and causes a short circuit that can start a fire.
Stopped by today and took a look. They were parking Daisy when I left, but it looked like the back half of rows 5 & 6 were still taped off.

Was there yesterday, parked on Daisy, they had the area sectioned off. A small crew of workers was working there, looked overall pretty cleaned up tho.
Parking all areas of Daisy, no sign of the fire anywhere now
