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.

A spokesperson for York Regional Police told Global News the fire, which happened on the west side of the water park, appears to have started near a “pump house” structure before spreading to a slide and some trees.

The spokesperson said the incident may have started from fireworks.
