'Coachella Just Turned Into a Fire Fest': Campgrounds Ablaze During First Night of Festival

A fire broke out during the first night of Coachella, with social media footage appearing to show a row of showers in the campground ablaze.

According to the Riverside County Fire Department, firefighters responded to reports of a “mobile shower unit” on fire not long after 2:00 a.m PST on Saturday morning. At 2:28 a.m., the department said that the fire was contained and no injuries were reported, though one trailer was destroyed.

News of the fire quickly spread on social media as music festivalgoers posted photos and videos of the blaze. “The water heater for the shower just exploded and caught fire at Coachella literally 10 mins before I got out…” one user wrote.

“Coachella just turned into a FIRE FEST. The showers just exploded!!” another said. A video posted on Twitter showed a man urging people to get away from the showers, yelling, “Back up, back up!”

Others saw the blaze from afar. “Damn, Coachella is lit,” one user wrote over a faraway shot of the fire. “Hope everyone is ok over there.” “Oh my God there’s a huge fire at the campsites,” another user captioned a photo of the flames.

Neither Coachella nor Goldenvoice, the company who operates the music festival, immediately responded to PEOPLE’s requests for comment.
