The fire was initially labeled as a 2-alarm fire ... but has recently been upgraded to a 3-alarm fire by FDNY. There are currently no injuries reported.
Trump Tower serves as the headquarters for The Trump Organization, and many members of the President's family live there or have lived there.
It's unclear at this time what caused the fire, but fire trucks are on the scene and cops have blocked off the streets surrounding the building.
