A 67-year-old man died after being injured in a fire at Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan on Saturday, the police said.
The man, Todd Brassner, was in his apartment on the 50th floor at the time of the fire, which was reported around 5:30 p.m., the police said. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Four firefighters sustained injuries that were not life-threatening, Fire Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro said at a news conference.
He said the apartment, a large unit that was heavily furnished, was “virtually entirely on fire.” Video footage showed flames bursting through broken windows.
Neither President Trump nor his family was in the building, a Fifth Avenue skyscraper that is the calling card of his real estate business.
The commissioner said firefighters went with the Secret Service to inspect the president’s residence. While the rest of the building had a “considerable amount of smoke,” it was not immediately clear if it reached Mr. Trump’s unit, he said.
More than 200 firefighters responded to the fire, the cause of which was unknown, the commissioner said.
Mr. Trump, who was in Washington at the time, said on Twitter that the tower’s construction helped confine the fire.
The commissioner said the upper floors that are home to residences do not have fire sprinklers. “It’s a well-built building,” he said. “The building sure stood up quite well.”
While the building is subject around the clock to extra security by law enforcement, extra fire protection happens only when the president is there, Commissioner Nigro said.
The authorities restricted passers-by from the area directly in front of the tower, keeping them out of the street and on the sidewalk on the opposite side of Fifth Avenue.
She said that she did not get any announcement about leaving, and that when she called the front desk no one answered.
Dennis Shields, a resident who said he lived on the 42nd floor, described the scene.
“You could smell the smoke and you could hear things falling like through the vents,” he said. “It just smelled like sulfur.”
He said there were no orders to evacuate but he received a text message from Mr. Trump’s lawyer, Michael D. Cohen.
Mr. Shields, who said he grew up with Mr. Cohen, continued: “He said, ‘Are you in the building?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘You better get out ASAP.’ That’s how I knew to get out, otherwise I’d still be in there.”
In January, a small electrical fire broke out near the top of the building. Officials at the time indicated it was in the building’s heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system.
A firefighter was hurt by falling debris and two civilians were injured.
Recalled something similar from back then but Pepperidge Farms doesn't quite remember that well at the moment
There were "two" fires that year. The one anon is thinking of was a "minor" fire earlier in the year…

A fire broke out near the top of Trump Tower on Monday, causing smoke to billow out over the skyscrapers of Midtown Manhattan and Central Park.
The New York Police Department said that the small electrical fire had started around 7:20 a.m. in the roof area of the building. Firefighters responded almost immediately and quickly brought the blaze under control.
A tweet from the Fire Department indicated that the fire was in the building’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning system.
Trump Tower has two roofs, a low roof that houses mechanical equipment and a higher roof that covers the equipment. A fire official said that there was no fire in the building and that firefighters were able to extinguish it using water despite the cold weather.
There were three minor injuries: A firefighter was hurt by falling debris and two civilians were injured.
In a tweet, Eric Trump said that the fire had been in a cooling tower and thanked the Fire Department for its quick work.
“The New York Fire Department was here within minutes and did an incredible job,” he wrote. “The men and women of the #FDNY are true heroes and deserve our most sincere thanks and praise!”

President Trump was not in New York, having returned to the White House on Sunday after spending the weekend at Camp David. He has visited his hometown only a handful of times since his inauguration a year ago, even as Trump Tower has become a popular site for protests.
According to multiple reports, James Clapper, then Director of National Intelligence, and Defense Secretary Ash Carter jointly recommended that President Barack Obama fire Admiral Michael Rogers, the NSA director, in late 2016
