Trump Tower fire: Fire fighters respond to blaze in midtown Manhattan
Tehran(KNA) : Firefighters are responding to a fire at Trump Tower in New York, the Manhattan home of US President Donald Trump.
Footage of the incident showed at least a dozen firefighters on the roof of the tower, as white smoke billows from at least one of the upper floors of the building.
A small fire broke out on the roof of Trump Tower on Monday morning, officials said.
Smoke was seen billowing off the top of the Manhattan skyscraper, carrying for several blocks.
Firefighters were called to the Fifth Ave. skyscraper, located at East 56thSt., at about 7:20 Monday morning.
They quickly knocked the fire back, but firefighters are currently making sure it didn't spread.
No injuries were immediately reported, and investigators are looking into what may have sparked the blaze.
While President Trump and the First Family now live in the White House, the commander-in-chief maintains a palatial apartment in the 58-story tower. The President was in Washington at the time of the fire.
