An electrical fire broke out at the iconic Tiffany and company store in New York City. The fire started yesterday inside a vault that provides power to the Tiffany's building on Fifth Avenue. The fire did not spread to the store itself but firefighters evacuated about 100 people just as a precaution. Thick gray smoke could be seen coming out of the building. Firefighters said the fire started in the morning around 9:30 a.m. and was under control by noon. Two people did sustain minor injuries.
