Four-Alarm Fire Reported at Trump Tower; One Dead

This isn’t the first time this has happened in the past few months.

Back in January, 2 people suffered minor injuries when a minor fire broke out in the cooling tower on the roof of Trump Tower.

Earlier Saturday evening, the New York City Fire Department responded to a 3-alarm fire on the 50th floor of Trump Tower.

Fire officials initially reported that one person had been seriously injured, and three firefighters had sustained minor injuries.

But ABC 7 News in New York reported that one person, a man, was killed in the blaze.

Apparently, believing the initial reports of the fire being under control, President Trump tweeted out thanks to the NYC Fire Department for their quick response.

Unfortunately, that was not the case. The Fire Department soon updated the fire from a 3-alarm to a 4-alarm, saying they had still not managed to get it under control.

Meanwhile, there are ghouls like this who think there is any justification for celebrating something as frightening and destructive as a fire.

I have to point out, this person is apparently a mental health counselor.

Trump Tower has both business offices and apartments.

There’s no report on the cause of the blaze, yet.
