VIDEO: KWWL news is currently on scene of a fire at the Lost Island Theme Park, currently under construction at the south edge of Waterloo, near the Isle Hotel and Casino, on the south side of Shaulis Road.
The fire began between 7-8 p.m. There are no injuries.
Eric Bertch, owner of the Lost Island, says an approximately 1500-square foot queue shelter building caught on fire at the far southwest edge of the park.
It's one of the areas where Lost Island Theme Park customers will stand in line, waiting to board a ride. Queue-style fencing is often used in those areas as a crowd barrier for park-goers waiting in line. Bertch says the building will be a total loss. He says it appears some temporary heating caught a blanket on fire.
The fire spread quickly, and could be seen from quite a distance, as it burned out of control. The building's roof eventually collapsed. Eric Bertch says nothing will be left, except the building's foundation.
