Reports of smoke rising from the structure came to the Los Angeles County Fire Department around 4:30 p.m. EST, according to a public information official.
Thankfully, the ride is currently out-of-service, and the fire department reports no injuries.
Four fire engines are attending to the situation there, according to the PIO. And photos flooding social media certainly show cause for attention.
