Trump Tower caught fire on Monday morning, with emergency responders rushing to the scene just after 7am in midtown Manhattan.
Firefighters could be seen on the roof of the building as large clouds of smoke covered the midtown skyline, managing to put out the blaze in less than an hour. The fire was caused by an electrical box in the HVAC system on the roof of the building according to an FDNY spokesperson.
Members of the NYPD were also on the scene, but had left the roof along with firefighters by 8am.
President Trump lives on the top three floors of the building, but has been in Washington DC since he took office last January.

The building is also where Eric and Donald Jr. have their offices, and where Ivanka’s eponymous fashion company is headquartered. The First Lady and Barron had been living in their residence at the skyscraper for the first half of last year, but moved into the White House over the summer.
No residents were evacuated from the building and there are no reports of injuries at this time.
