New York City fire officials say a fire in Trump Tower’s heating and air conditioning system injured two people and caused smoke to billow from the roof.

The New York Fire Department says the fire started around 7 a.m. EST Monday at the building where President Trump has a home and business offices.

Fire officials say a civilian was treated for serious injuries and a firefighter was treated for minor injuries. It took about an hour to put out the fire in the building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
