By request of the Anaheim Fire Dept, POTC is equipped with a system that, in the event of an actual fire, automatically shuts down the authentic "burning town" effect found at the end of the ride, so that firefighters can pinpoint the real blaze and not waste time battling artificial flames.

Show effect, lighting and animation are turned of on every attraction in the event of a fire alarm. - BalooTBear 905.1 #101 8:42PM

Don't know why but I found this to be very funny. 😂😂 - KermitFan13 411.0 #325 7:14PM

Me too it made me laugh :-) - belle0785 77.0 #3367 7:40PM

Me too! Then I saw this post and started laughing more!😂😂😂😂😂 - MoonWillow 375.7 #373 8:41PM

Ditto 😂😂😂😂 thanks for sharing captnsparrow! - MsLeila 130.8 #2619 1:32AM

Never thought of it but good idea! - PrincessDuckie 590.8 #191 7:19PM

I love learning about operational and design stuff like this. Thank you for sharing. - Bibba 284.7 #718 7:22PM

One time my wife and I were on POTC and we got to experience it. The attraction was running and the burning town was all dark. Pretty weird to see that. - santeemouselover 328.0 #499 7:24PM

Very interesting! I can see how that could be confusing! - meridafan 1098.0 #75 7:25PM

Thanks for sharing this. Very interesting! - Ldgsg 23.6 #4853 7:27PM

Cool fact! - GrimGrinningAmanda 323.6 #521 7:28PM

That's good to know. I would hate for them to waste their time if there was an emergency. - neverenoughDL 5.0 #10737 7:37PM

Very interesting ... I didn't know this - eviljules 284.9 #717 7:38PM

I love this kind of info! Thanks Captn😊 - hatgal76 203.9 #1615 7:54PM

I wonder if they learned this from experience... - SPandEvLover 819.3 #116 8:10PM

I was on potc one time when a fire alarm went off above in NOS. It is true! The fire scene at the end was off when we went through! - Echoingecho 134.0 #2579 8:11PM

i will say the "burning town" effect is soooo awesome and looks authentic! This effect should be used to an Opera production,,,, example is the finale of Wagner's Gotterdammerung, when the Gibichung Hall and Valhalla was consumed by fire after the sacrificial death of Brunhilde (sorry, just watching and listening to an Opera right now, for relaxation) - otilegna 1072.0 #81 8:30PM

Thank you the interesting fact Captain! - grumpypapa 554.8 #207 8:35PM
