Roughly 84 firefighters responded to the scene initially.
There were conflicting reports over injuries.
"Although local media initially reported there were no injuries, one person sustained a serious, possibly life-threatening injury, and another had a minor injury, the Fire Department said," reports Reuters.
Eric Trump responded to the incident on Twitter.
“There was a small electrical fire in a cooling tower on the roof of Trump Tower. The New York Fire Department was here within minutes and did an incredible job. The men and women of the #FDNY are true heroes and deserve our most sincere thanks and praise!” he said.

First a fire at Clinton’s house and now one at Trump tower .Hmmmm. Sick Obama era Secret Service agent?
The leftards were upset Trump wasn’t killed in the blaze.
Democrats, and particularly Chuck Schumer, saddened that Donald J. Trump was not in residence and his life was never in danger.
This was in retaliation for the fire at the Clinton “residence” earlier lat week, in which the lives of neither Slick or Herself were in danger, either.
Eric Trump tweeted that it was an electrical fire on the roof.
We haven’t heard from Hillary about the fire at her house....
Or Bill. No explanation of the fire, thank-yous to the firemen, no nuttin’. Typical Clinton arrogance.
Fire on roof, it’s out. Never got into the building. I’m guessing related to HVAC unit, that’s the typical cause of exterior roof fires of this type.
Yep HVAC on roof electrical fire. Here’s a thread with
some 30+ comments from earlier this am.

I suspect the Clinton NY fire was to destroy more documents. They were probably those the three new investigations would need to see.
