This seemed like a funny headline. The scary thing is, I take my kids there.

Duluth waterpark evacuated after fake volcano catches fire

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) The Best Western Edgewater Resort and
Waterpark in Duluth was evacuated after an imitation volcano in the
pool caught fire. No injuries were reported.

A hotel guest says the flames rose three to four feet in the air
and there was a lot of smoke in the water park.

The Duluth Fire Department was on scene within minutes and hotel
staff handed out blankets to guests still wet from the pool.

The fire started shortly before seven (Thursday evening) and the
scene was cleared in about an hour.

A hotel spokesman says it appeared to be an electrical fire.

The displaced swimmers were given blankets and directed to the nearby Perkins and Black Woods restaurants. Once guests were allowed back into their rooms, the staff treated them to in-room ice cream Thursday night.

The Edgewater reopened in January 2006 after a 14-month, $20 million remodeling project.

Guess they should have spent $20,000,001 for that extra circuit breaker.
