According to witness accounts, the float was turned off, and its performers were safely evacuated. It was then towed to a hub area to allow the remaining floats to complete the parade route. While in the hub, the float began to emit smoke, and eyewitnesses reported seeing flames. The fire was quickly extinguished by park personnel.
After about a half-hour, the float was towed behind the parade gate in the Town Square area of Main Street, U.S.A. A video posted on TikTok by @emmuhthefloor chronicled part of the aftermath of the incident.
