TIMES SQUARE, NY — Three people, including two firefighters, were injured after a fire broke out at a Times Square diner early Tuesday morning, an FDNY spokesman told Patch.
The fire started around 4:45 a.m. in the duct work of TSQ Brasserie at 723 7th Ave., near 48th Street, and spread to nearby buildings, the FDNY said. Thirty-three units, including 140 firefighters, responded to the fire, the FDNY said.
The other person injured was a civilian, the FDNY said. Tourists in nearby hotels and people living in the area were reportedly told to shut their windows. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Blaring sirens and flashing lights filled the theater district as authorities worked to put out the blaze.
