NEW YORK (WCBS) — Chopper 2 was live over a fire that broke out at the Tiffany & Co.’s newly-renovated flagship store in Midtown.
The Fire Department said an underground street electrical fire broke out around 9:30 a.m., and that there were no outages and injuries.
The store, located at 57th Street and Fifth Avenue, just completed a massive renovation that took nearly four years.
