The water park at Canada’s Wonderland is closed on Monday after a fire broke out on one of the slide attractions.
In a statement, the park said the “small structure fire” began at around 10:45 p.m. on Sunday.
“As Splash Works had closed at 6 p.m., impacted areas of the park were clear of guests and remaining associates were evacuated,” the statement said.
“Emergency crews responded, no injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is being investigated.”
York Regional Police said on Twitter that the park was evacuated “as a precaution” because of blowing smoke.

The spokesperson said the incident may have started from fireworks.
