They could have installed a system that would have sprayed a light mist over the outside of the building to dampen it enough to avoid fires started by hot ash. It would not take much moisture to do it. Not much more than a plant greenhouse misting system set on a timer from 15 minutes prior to fireworks start to 15 past fireworks end. It could easily be set up to not affect the ride track itself.
The Pooh and Peter Pan show buildings do have this system on them (the two buildings on either side of the Castle). I used to have to walk through water running off of the roof of Pooh to the door to get to the tunnel. I'm not sure if the 7DMT show building has any system on it. I would *think* it does, since that's live landscaping....

Bad memory explains why I couldn't Google the previous fire. There was another roof fire in New Fantasyland from fireworks but apparently it was on Little Mermaid.

Off topic. How much of Mine Train is real living landscaping? I noticed at the end, as you go by the hut, that all the plants on the left side of the train were plastic. I realize this protects them from riders and maintains visual quality but those on top of the buildings don't have to worry about riders destruction.
So now the ride was like the end of Mr. Toad.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. The 7DMT "fire" was outside on the roof of the show building, not *inside* the attraction itself...
*Duh*. Never mind. Now I know whatcha meant. :P
