Fire rips through Midtown restaurant
A fire that started in the ductwork of a Times Square restaurant quickly turned into a massive three-alarm blaze early Tuesday, fire officials said.
More than 140 firefighters responded to the blaze, which gutted the TSQ Brasserie at Seventh Avenue and West 49th Street at around 5 a.m.
The fire apparently started in the ductwork, allowing it to spread to other parts of the 12-story building.
Firefighters eventually got the flames under control.
No one was injured, according to city fire officials.
