Fire Breaks Out At Europa Park

A large fire at one of Europe’s most popular amusement parks forced the evacuation of up to 25,000 visitors.

Seven firefighters were injured tackling the blaze at Europa-Park in the town of Rust in southwest Germany on Saturday night.

The fire started in a storage building before spreading through parts of the Dutch and Scandinavian-themed areas.

Other photographs showed the burning wreckage of buildings in the Scandinavian section.

Despite the damage, most of the park reopened at 9am on Sunday morning and police confirmed no members of the public or employees were injured in the blaze.
