On Saturday, a fire broke out on the 50th floor of Trump Tower in New York City on 5th Avenue in Manhattan, just before 6 p.m. on the east coast.
The New York City Fire Department tweeted out a photo of the fire, writing: “FDNY members are on scene of a 3-alarm fire at 721 5th Ave Manhattan. There are currently no injuries reported.”
ABC 7 News later reported that one person died from the fire and at least three firefighters sustained minor injuries.
Videos shared on social media showed a heavy police and fire presence in response to the blaze; one eyewitness claimed there were nearly two dozen fire trucks on the scene.
Another social media user tweeted a video of the fire, writing: “There is a fire right now in Trump Tower. Was small and then something happened where the size doubled in seconds!”
President Donald Trump tweeted on the fire, writing: “Fire at Trump Tower is out. Very confined (well built building). Firemen (and women) did a great job. THANK YOU!”
