A massive fire broke out at the historic Eugene O'Neill Theatre on Broadway in New York City on Monday morning. Over 60 units from the FDNY and close to 200 first responders arrived at the scene to combat the three-alarm fire in Midtown.
There were no immediate reports of injuries, and efforts to contain the fire were still in progress. The cause of the roof fire had not been officially verified, and authorities had not disclosed details regarding the level of structural damage.
Witnesses described seeing loads of smoke billowing from the building, with tourists being asked to evacuate nearby hotels. The theatre has been presenting 'The Book of Mormon' since 2011, but no performances were planned for Monday.
