MIDTOWN — A fire broke out in the third-floor ducts of the famed Le Parker Meridien hotel on Thursday, an FDNY spokesman said.

The blaze erupted shortly before 10 a.m. at the West 56th St. hotel, between Sixth and Seventh Avenues.  About 60 firefighters responded, the spokesman said.

The fire was brought under control about 30 minutes later, fire officials said.

No one appeared to be injured and the incident didn't disrupt normal hotel service.
