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.
