Firefighters at Disneyland after workers complain of odor, illness
Anaheim firefighters were dispatched to Disneyland on Friday after six people reportedly complained of an odor and being sick.
The Anaheim Fire Department tweeted around 1:30 p.m. that firefighters were at the scene, but said it was not being treated as a hazardous materials spill.
“Complaint of an odor. We’re investigating. More to follow,” the tweet said.
It was not known if the incident was ride- or food-related, Anaheim Police Lt. Tim Schmidt told KTLA-TV.
Disneyland had not provided information to police, Schmidt added.
[Updated 2:05 p.m. PDT March 28: The fire department posted on Twitter that the incident involved four employees who were complaining of nausea due to the smell of paint. They were taken to area hospitals as a precaution. No park guests were affected, the department said.]
