NEW YORK: Firefighters responded to an early morning fire at Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan, but no injuries were reported, the New York Fire Department said on Monday.

US President Donald Trump was in Washington at the time.

The fire was believed under control and no injuries were reported, NBC News reported on Twitter.

CBS News said the fire broke out shortly before 7am EST (noon GMT) near the roof of the 68-storey structure, which had been Trump's primary residence before his election victory and inauguration nearly a year ago.

It posted a picture of firefighters on the rooftop with smoke pouring from a portion of it.
