The high-rise, which is situated in Midtown, New York, was home to First Lady Melania Trump and son Barron Trump for a number of months before moving into the White House after the President’s inauguration.
The Commander-in-Chief and his family were not in the building and no injuries have been reported.
This isn’t the first fire to have broken out at a politician’s property. On Jan. 3, fire crews responded to a blaze on the second floor of former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her husband, former U.S. President, Bill Clinton’s home in Chappaqua, New York. The fire was quickly put out.
