Trump Tower caught fire on Monday morning, with emergency responders rushing to the scene just after 7am in midtown Manhattan.

Firefighters could be seen on the roof of the building as large clouds of smoke covered the midtown skyline, managing to put out the blaze in less than an hour.

The fire was caused by an electrical box in the HVAC system on the roof of the building, according to an FDNY spokesperson.

Two civilians were injured as a result of the fire and treated at the scene, while a firefighter also suffered a minor injury as a result of falling debris.

President Trump lives on the top three floors of the building, but has been in Washington DC since he took office last January.

The building is also where Eric and Donald Jr. have their offices, and where Ivanka's eponymous fashion company is headquartered.

The First Lady and Barron had been living in their residence at the skyscraper for the first half of last year, but moved into the White House over the summer.

'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,' wrote Eric on Twitter Monday morning.

'The men and women of the #FDY are true heroes and deserve our most sincere thanks and praise!'

Members of the NYPD were also on the scene early Monday.

The fire at no point entered the building, and it was extinguished with water despite the freezing temperatures in New York City.

Busy place: The property contains both private residences and business offices, along with a foyer that is open to the public

No residents were evacuated from the building at any point during the fire, even as emergency vehicles filled up two blocks of Fifth Avenue.

That led to even more mayhem than normal for New Yorkers dealing with the Monday morning commute.

'The fire wasn’t in the building, it was on top of the building. We had flames coming out of the vents, no smoke condition or fire was on the inside,' said Asst. Chief Roger Sakowich from Trump Tower on Monday.

'We had one minor injury to a firefighter, and one minor injury to a civilian. Our units got up there quickly, we got water on the fire, which in 19 degrees creates more steam and smoke.'

He then added: 'We were able to extinguish the fire without any problems within the building. Everything went according to plan.'

An update a few hours later revealed there was a second civilian who was injured at the scene, with Asst. Chief Sakowich stating that 'both were treated on scene and refused further medical aid.'

Clearing out: Workers were able to head up to their offices without issue on Monday, with almost all signs of the fire crews gone before most started their work day at 9am

It was later revealed that a shorted-out bathroom fan caused that fire.

This fire also comes as President Trump hits out at allegations being made about both himself and his administration in the Michael Wolff's bestselling West-Wing tell-all Fire and Fury.

President Trump did not tweet about the fire on Monday, instead using his first tweet of the day to state: 'African American unemployment is the lowest ever recorded in our country. The Hispanic unemployment rate dropped a full point in the last year and is close to the lowest in recorded history. Dems did nothing for you but get your vote! #NeverForget @foxandfriends'
