flagship store in Manhattan saw part of its exterior blackened by smoke by an underground street fire Thursday, prompting an evacuation and causing two minor injuries.
The fire started around 9:38 a.m., the Fire Department of the City of New York said, by a blown transformer in a separated vault underground that provides power to the 10-story building.Despite appearances, the fire did not actually get into the building, FDNY officials indicated. “It was an underground transformer, either overheating or some type of electrical issue. It’s an outside transformer fire, which had nothing to do with the [Tiffany’s building]. It was isolated,” FDNY Battalion 8 Chief Richard Blasi said, according to the New York Post.
Video posted on Twitter by user @rinachavezm showed smoke billowing outside the first floor of the luxury store, which is next door to Trump Tower on Manhattan&rsquo’s Fifth Avenue.
