President Trump said that a fire that broke out at Trump Tower in New York on Saturday has been put out.

In a tweet, the president thanked the firefighters who responded to the blaze, and offered assurances that his namesake skyscraper is a “well built building.”

“Fire at Trump Tower is out. Very confined (well built building). Firemen (and women) did a great job. THANK YOU!” He wrote. {mosads}

The tweet came as fire officials responded to a four-alarm fire on the 50th floor of Trump Tower. One death has been reported. 

It was the second fire to break out at the building in about three months. The New York Fire Department responded to a minor fire in a cooling tower on the roof of the building in January. Two people sustained minor injuries in that incident.
