Fire Damages Hotel At Disneyland Paris

Fire heavily damaged portions of a sprawling hotel at Disneyland Paris early Saturday, forcing 1,500 guests to flee, some in their nightclothes.

Nine people complained of smoke inhalation and four of them, including two pregnant women, were hospitalized for observation, said Disney spokeswoman Annie Jan.

The blaze broke out at 6:45 a.m. at the 1,000-room Sequoia Lodge, said Disney spokesman Mark Webb. Firefighters extinguished the fire three hours later.

The cause is unknown.
