The Fire Department of New York said the fire was in the building’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning unit and is now under control.
None of the injuries were life-threatening. The two civilians were treated at the scene and refused further medical aid, the FDNY said.
Ken Reilly, a spokesman for the department, said the fire was reported shortly before 7 a.m. ET. It took about an hour to take control of the blaze, FDNY Manhattan Borough Commander Roger Sakowich said.
Sakowich said there were no smoke or fire conditions inside the building but authorities are investigating to see if there is any damage. The building wasn’t evacuated during the incident, the FDNY said.
