On Monday, New York City firefighters descended on Trump Tower to extinguish a fire that broke out on the roof.

According to ABC News, “at around 7 a.m., about 70 firefighters rushed to the apex of the Fifth Avenue Trump Tower skyscraper at 57th Street in midtown Manhattan to put out the blaze.”

Fortunately, the men were able to extinguish the problem without much trouble, with only one firefighter sustaining a minor injury. The source of the fire is speculated to have been electrical in nature.

So, how did Trump’s critics on the Left respond to the news? Does that need any introduction at this point?

Trump will just collect a huge check from the Insurance company for more than the value of the damage.

Too bad it’s not a 5-alarm fire. Maybe next time. And maybe Trump will be in residence next time.

Others joked that the fire served to burn evidence pertaining to collusion with Russia:

They’re burning the evidence! Either that or Melania’s burning Donald’s suits.

So either Ivanka and the boys are up at work and the shredder overheated or Ivanka is cooking for her Instagram. It’s tough thriving, sometimes involves firemen.

Eric Trump kept his classy:

There was a small electrical fire in a cooling tower on the roof of Trump Tower. The New York Fire Department was here within minutes and did an incredible job. The men and women of the #FDNY are true heroes and deserve our most sincere thanks and praise! https://t.co/xuTmq1GBbj
