Description
An electrical fire in a transformer that serves the Tiffany & Co. store on New York’s Fifth Avenue spewed thick gray smoke out from under the iconic building and caused two minor injuries.
Deputy Fire Chief Joseph Carlsen says the fire did not spread to the store itself, but that firefighters evacuated about 100 people from the building as a precaution.
He says two people suffered minor injuries during the evacuation. The fire was reported shortly after 9:30 a.m. and was under control by noon. A Tiffany spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
