Social media reports have also suggested Fire Rescue is on the scene, with three (3) fire trucks rushing by near the entrance of the Magic Kingdom.
Firefighters are currently at the site of the fire, 15 people were spotted going up the moving ramp leading up into the TTAPM loading area -Firefighters to be presumed.
