Boma flavors of africa Last night a small fire in a storage room at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge  prompted a evacuation of Boma. Though guests on social networking forums stated the entire lodge was evacuated, Orlando news outlets are stating only the restaurant was evacuated. The fire started in a storage room about 6:45pm. At about 8pm guests and cast members were allowed back in.
Reedy Creek spokesman Bo Jones stated it was a small fire, with a large amount of smoke and no one was hurt. Jones also stated “The cause of the fire is under investigation.” Jones also said the fire “likely started near a paint can in a storage room.”

If you manage a government building, fire watch services can play an important role in protecting employees, visitors, government records, equipment, and property from fire hazards. A federal office fire watch personnel continuously monitor the premises for signs of smoke, fire, or unsafe conditions, which is particularly important during construction, maintenance, hot work, or when fire protection systems are temporarily unavailable. Their presence can help identify potential problems early and ensure that emergency services are contacted promptly when needed, supporting the building’s overall fire safety plan.
