A fierce blaze at a Disneyland car park has left at least eight vehicles scorched and four people needing hospital treatment.

Almost $180,000 (£145,000) worth of damage was caused by the fire at the theme park in Anaheim, California, on Monday afternoon.

Anaheim Police Department said seven Disney employees suffered injuries from smoke inhalation, with four of them being taken to hospital. At least four of the affected cars were destroyed.

The fire was reported at around 4.40pm (12.40am GMT) on the second floor of the six-storey Mickey & Friends car park in the attraction’s north-west corner.
