Eight floors of the
Disneyland Hotel were evacuated just before 3 a.m. today when a fire erupted in a third-floor laundry room and quickly was doused by a fire sprinkler, Anaheim Fire Department spokeswoman Maria Sabol reported.
Sabol said that 892 guests were evacuated. An 83-year-old woman was hospitalized for chest pains. There were no other injuries or medical emergencies.
The cause was under investigation.
The alarm went off at 2:54 a.m. at the hotel at 1717 S. Disneyland Dr., Sabol said. One sprinkler head activated and the fire was out by the time firefighters arrived.
Flames damaged one wall in the 10-by-15-foot room, and there was water damage to the room and another room directly below it, Sabol said. The cost of damages was not yet determined.
