No injuries were reported.A hotel guest says the flames rose three to four feet in the air and there was a lot of smoke in the water park. The fire, which started around 6:40 p.m., forced some guests to flee into the parking lot in their bare feet and swimsuits. Hotel workers gave them blankets and directed guests to the nearby Perkins and Black Woods restaurants. Firefighters were on the scene for about an hour.A hotel worker later described the blaze as an electrical fire.

how does an electrical fire start in the middle of a swimming pool???volcano in MN sounds pretty cool tho

a waterpark in MN open in March!? That must be some cold water!Also if it was an electrical fire, anyone in the pool would have been electricuted immediately.
