A fire believed to have been caused by a short circuit has damaged part of Miniland, a popular section of the Legoland theme park in western Denmark known for its replicas of famous buildings made of Lego bricks. The fire, which started at 4 a.m. on Wednesday, was quickly extinguished but resulted in the melting of several replica buildings and the destruction of an area designed to resemble a small-scale version of a Danish port.
According to Legoland spokesperson Kasper Tangsig, video surveillance revealed that the fire originated in one of the electric cars used in the park, which was being recharged overnight. Tangsig stated that there was no other activity at the time of the incident, leading investigators to believe that a short circuit was the likely cause.
