Fire Engulfs Trump Tower In New York

Firefighters from the Fire Department of New York are at the scene of a rooftop electrical fire at Trump Tower in Manhattan.

President Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump said a fire broke out in a cooling tower on the roof. “The New York Fire Department was here within minutes and did an incredible job,” he said in a tweet.

Two injuries were reported, one firefighter and one civilian. The fire is said to be under control. The department says it was called around 7 a.m. ET Monday for a report of a fire on the top floor.

More than 70 firefighters responded to the call, which is standard for a fire on a roof of a high rise, the New York Police Department said. Aerial views initially showed firefighters on the roof, with smoke billowing from one corner of the high-rise.

President Trump and his family are not currently in residence at the midtown skyscraper.
