The New York Police Department has reported that the area near 5th Ave. and West 57th Street would experience police presence and traffic closures due to the fire.

Calls to the FDNY by The Hollywood Reporter have not yet been returned. President Trump’s office in the Tower is on the 26th floor, according to media reports.

On Saturday Twitter users posted videos of visible flames from a window of a floor halfway up the building.
