A Ferris Wheel was engulfed in flames and sparks when it caught fire due to a suspected electrical fault in China.

The incident unfolded at the Jiangjunshan Sports Park in the High-tech Zone of Zhaoqing, in China's Guangdong province, on May 29.

Footage shows sparks flying and flames and smoke emanating from the middle of the Ferris wheel after what appears to have been a short circuit.

The park staff told local media the following day that the Ferris Wheel ride had not yet been opened for operation.

One staff member told local media: 'There are a lot of light tubes on the Ferris wheel, so it might be a circuit problem.'

Another staff member said on May 30 that the park was busy debugging its equipment and was unable to receive any visitors.
