| (35 minutes later) | |
| Firefighters are responding to a fire at Trump Tower, the Manhattan home of US President Donald Trump. | |
| Footage of the incident shows around a dozen firefighters on the roof of the tower, while white smoke billows from one corner of the top of the building. | |
| A blaze was reported on the top floor of the building at 7am local time, the New York Fire Department said. | |
| Two people suffered minor injuries and Mr Trump was not at the 58-storey building, officials said. | |
| "This building has two roofs actually — a low roof, where all the mechanical equipment is, is where it would be, and a top roof ... with some vents to cover that equipment so you don't see it from the outside. | |
| "So we had flames coming out of those vents — again no fire inside the building." | |
| The tower houses businesses and luxury apartments, including Mr Trump's three-storey penthouse, which reportedly occupies the top three floors. | |
