Update: 12:20 - Disneyland spokesperson Suzi Brown tells MousePlanet that the fire was in "foliage in a backstage area adjacent to it’s a small world," and was extinguished by the Disneyland Fire Department. There were no injuries or apparent damage, and the ride reopened Saturday night. Brown says the cause is still under investigation.
Update: 11:10 - KABC7 reports (http://abc7.com/news/fire-knocked-down-at-disneyland/539216/) that the ride was not damaged, and is expected to reopen tonight. (Note, Disneyland closes at Midnight).
Update 10:40 - KTLA reports (http://ktla.com/2015/02/28/firefighters-extinguish-fire-near-disneylands-its-a-small-world-attraction/) the fire was reported at 9:19 pm and burned for about 30 minutes.
There has been a fire at "it's a small world" at Disneyland. We are waiting for official information from Disneyland, but video and photos have been posted all over social media, including this Twitter photo from @DisneyExaminer (https://twitter.com/DisneyExaminer) and an Instagram video (https://instagram.com/p/zrG4t6R0G9/) posted by Cavin Hawkins.
I've seen lots of social media reports saying that the fire was possibly sparked by fallout from the nightly fireworks show, and that a well-timed downpour likely played a role in helping prevent the spread. The fireworks began at 9:15 tonight, and the fire was reported at 9:19.

Another Twitter photo from the @GreatFoodTruckRace5 account shows the view from the Disneyland Railroad. They also said they have video, which we're hoping they share:

KABC7 (http://abc7.com/news/fire-knocked-down-at-disneyland/539216/) reports that the fire is out and that there are no injuries. We'll update this top post as we know more; you can post your comments below.
