Dozens of people were rescued from a ride at Orlando's ICON Park Saturday evening after a power failure, Orange County Fire Rescue reported.

The department said crews responded to reports of a power failure at the Orlando Wheel around 6:20 p.m. There were 20 occupied pods on the Ferris wheel when it lost power, trapping 62 people on the ride. 

Pictures and videos on social media showed a small fire at the base of the ride, which is what caused it to malfunction and lose power.

Orange County Fire Rescue Public Information Officer Ashley Gipson said over 80 firefighters responded to the park. In order to rescue the riders, they had to manually maneuver the wheel to reach each pod.

In March 2022, ICON Park experienced tragedy when 14-year-old Tyre Sampson fell to his death from the Orlando Freefall, a drop tower ride at the park. Sampson was visiting the city on spring break with another family from St. Louis, Missouri.

The ride was closed immediately after Sampson's death and was permanently shut down in October.
