There Was A Fire At Canada's Wonderland Yesterday & A Part Of The Park Is Closed Today

Canada's Wonderland is a popular place to visit during a warm summer day and on a long weekend, but an unfortunate event that took place on Sunday evening caused a part of the park to close on Monday.

On Sunday, a fire broke out at the Splash Works at Canada's Wonderland at around 10:45 p.m. on July 31.

Grace Peacock, a spokesperson from Canada's Wonderland, told Narcity that "a small structure fire broke out in the water park."

The park had closed at 6:00 p.m., and "impacted areas of the park were clear of guests and remaining associates were evacuated," Peacock added.

Emergency crews responded to the scene, and there were no reported injuries.

At 11:50 p.m. on Sunday evening the York Regional Police (YRP) tweeted saying they were assisting Vaughan Fire with the flames at Canada's Wonderland.

"Park is being evacuated as a precaution because of blowing smoke," they said.

YRP also asked people to "avoid the area" as the crews responded to the scene.

Some people on Twitter were in disbelief that there was a fire at beloved Canada's Wonderland.

Someone tweeted saying, "yo ain't no way wonderland is on fire 😭"

Another replied with, "UR LYING😭😭."

Unfortunately, for this lovely summer day, Splash Works will be closed on August 1. However, the rest of the park is open for all visitors to still enjoy on this Civic Holiday long weekend.

As for the cause of the fire, that is still unknown, and Canada's Wonderland said, "the cause of the fire is being investigated."
