Trump Tower fire: Blaze breaks out in Donald Trump's New York City hotel

Source: Yahoo

An investigation has been launched into a fire which broke out at Trump Tower.

The blaze was reported at US President Donald Trump's luxury New York hotel at 4.30am local time (9.30am GMT).

The small fire was on the 47th floor of the hotel and took just under an hour to be put out.

It is thought it was spareked when a piece of machinery malfunctioned in an apartment which was being built., CBS news reported.

Part of the building was evacuated and one person was treated for smoke inhalation.

Several fire trucks were seen outside the building on Friday morning.

Harold Mindel, who shared a photo online of several fire engines at the scene, said on Facebook: “Waking up at 4.40 am with the sounds of many fire trucks heading to Trump International Hotel and Condo at Columbus Circle and Central Park West.”

FDNY, New York City’s fire department, are investigating the fire, the city’s PIX11 news site reported.

A message on the fire service's Twitter feed said: "Man all hands 1 Central Park W, high rise fire on 47th flr”.

Trying to destroy evidence of his connection with the Kremlin. Or maybe Melanoma and Barron were having a cookout using leftover MAGA hats.

I'm sure Bannon is just taking time to craft one, with the Kremlin, making sure that there will be no loose ends.

I'm just hoping that the MSM is prepared for it when it happens and doesn't just swallow it hook line and sinker.

This one is a hotel. It is on the west side of Central Park - right at the southern edge of it.

The Summer Palace is on the street running up the east side of Central Park, and two blocks south of it.
