UPPER EAST SIDE — A fire broke out in a trailer near Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center Monday morning, officials said.

The fire started about 9:15 a.m. in a trailer at 433 E. 66th St. between First and York avenues, one block from the hospital's main building and next to the hospital's garage, the FDNY and the hospital said. Firefighters brought the fire under control just before 11 a.m., the FDNY said.

No one was hurt in the fire, the FDNY said.

A spokeswoman for the hospital said the trailer belonged to a contractor for Sloan-Kettering.

“It’s under control, and not related to patient care,” the spokeswoman said.
