Vetar je brzo raširio vatru prema plaži, pa je doneta odluka da se ceo festival hitno evakuiše.

Posetioci su sa plaže evakuisani autobusima, dok je vatra gutala sve oko njih.

Posetioci festivala su na Tviteru objavili dramatične snimke na kojima se vidi kako kulja vatra u neposrednoj blizini bina festivala. Neki među njima su, međutim, ostali sasvim mirni, kao da je vatra deo scenografije.
Scariest thing I have ever witnessed everyone has been evacuated :((( literally didn’t even realise how bad it was until we got out. Hope everyone is okay. #freshisland #croatiafire pic.twitter.com/dVIVVX2PbT

Na drugom nadrealnom video-klipu vidi se kako publika uživa u nastupu, dok oko nje gori veliki požar.

Uzrok požara još nije poznat.

Nakon evakuacije otkazan je nastup jedne od glavnih zvezda festivala, američkog repera Tige.
