MANHATTAN — A fire broke out on the 47th floor of the Trump International Hotel in Columbus Circle before dawn on Friday, officials said.

The blaze erupted about 4:12 a.m. inside 1 Central Park West, near West 60th Street, an FDNY spokesman said.

About 60 firefighters brought the blaze under control by 5:19 a.m., the spokesman said.

One person was injured, but refused medical attention at the scene, officials said.

Fire marshals will determine what sparked the blaze, but an FDNY spokesman said the fire didn't immediately appear to be suspicious.

The 21-year-old hotel is part of the Trump Organization, which was founded by Donald Trump.
