Looks like the Spanish or Austrian area. Hope everyone has been evacuated safely!

Loads of photos all over social media. Truly hope everyone is safe!
I was in the World of Diamonds building (walk-through shared by the Alpenexpressen and Log Flume) taking photos and the alarm went off whilst I was in it. I walked to the Rapids nearby and saw the smoke it is either than building or just nearby.
Yeah it's bad...view from Fjord Rafting before I got evacuated.

Don’t think the train station survived.
Park is still set to reopen tomorrow.

We'll only know the extent in time, I'm sure they'll share with us soon enough

You could have 3 simultaneous fires at Europa Park and they'd still boss Merlin in terms of ride availability and operations. Crazy.

These photos were taken at 16:37 and 16:38 respectively.
Ominously this is the photo I took at 16:39. The fire alarm went off whilst I was taking it...
...I think she did it.
At around 16:43 I took this, and at this point there was no external fire (building is on the right).

You should definitely help the police by sending this clear image of the culprit to the local authorities.
According to local reports the fire started in a tech room but didn't spread any further than into the main building. Firefighters were automatically alarmed through a fire alarm in the building.

I don't want this to come across as an accusation or anything, but I feel like this is further confirmation to my impression that proper fire-damage proofing was slmost non-existent before the 2000s. Looking at the pattern of damage now and from the 2018 fire, both times it appears like the affected areas consisted mostly of metal framework and expanding foam.
