Large plumes of black smoke and flames could be seen coming out of the dragon’s head.

A Disney spokesperson told Channel 9 that when the float, which shoots fire from its nose, caught fire, cast members and guests were immediately cleared from the area.

The spokesperson said no one was injured and the fire was quickly put out.
