A large fire broke out on the roof of a luxury apartment building in New York City’s Hudson Yards neighbourhood today, sending thick black smoke billowing across the Manhattan skyline. The fire was reported at approximately noon at The Set, a high-rise at 455 10th Avenue and West 35th Street, with emergency crews quickly responding to the scene.
The FDNY has since given an “all clear,” and firefighters have begun departing the scene. Traffic around Hudson Yards was briefly impacted as responders worked to secure the area and assess any structural risks.
As the cause of the fire remains under investigation, city authorities have thanked the FDNY for their swift response in containing the blaze and ensuring public safety.
